In the days when there weren't many options, they were *amazing* - now they're a sometimes treat.
They just allow for a different texture, especially before fuzz/distortion and delay. I can go weeks without using mine, then it's on for days.

The ability to save presets and tune instantly make the Ring Thing very useful.
Also, you can trick the tuning feature to constantly reset by holding the switch down while playing entire passages, not just a single note. It ends up sounding a little like some kind of filter effect.
here's a bunch of songs dependent on ring mod
This is like the best music ever.

The demo was regarding a bit crusher that had a nasty pitchy noise through it. Was one of the funniest demo's ever. Especially the ending. If I could post youtube I would put it up. I'm sure most have probably seen it any way.
This one?

Yeah that was the one. "WHAT A DICK" Seriously that behndy dude can play the shit out of that 6 string bass. Awesome stuff. Might have to look for more of his demo's. But ones where he is actually happy with the pedal he's demoing.

I've been keeping an eye out on Reverb for a Vitruvian Mod at a good price, but alas, no one want to flip them where i can see.
