I have 2 current faves, an original Electro-Harmonix Memory Man analog
delay, and the DOD Gonkulator distortion/ring modulator. The MM is a great
source of sounds on its own, by twiddling with the delay and feedback
knobs, and has a very seasick-sounding chorus mode. The Gonkulator is a
pretty lousy ring modulator, it only gives you a fixed 500hz modulating
frequency, no external input, and it emits a constant 500hz buzz when it's
engaged, whether there's any input signal or not, but, still, it's great
for thin, crummy disharmonic noise. And we all love that, don't we?
