I totally agree. One of my favorite-sounding ring mods is the PAIA/Craig
Anderton Electronics Projects for Musicians kit I built years ago. Very
sweet, and it has a musical fuzziness that I really like (god, I'm starting
to talk like a wine nut!). Unfortunately, it broke a couple of years ago,
and I haven't gotten around to fixing it. A ring mod with that sound and
MOTM build quality would be a winner for me, at least.
