The only problem with this box is that the modulating signal is off and
reeming whenever the pedal is engaged.  I agree it's a nice ring
modulator,
but the noise factor killed it for me.  I've got a nice version made with
the pitch change in my VG-8 now.

In a rack box (besides the Q2 and Vortex) I think the new Oberheim and 
Korg and TC Electronics units have ring mod.  The only other pedal I can 
think of is the new Digitech Space Station.
