A came across a Sirkut Ring modulator on ebay: it looked like this:

And we know that if there is a review on Harmony Central, that the pedal really exists, no :wink: ?
The Sirkut Electornics R-MOD is not your standard, run-of-the-mill ring modulation effect. Part of the fun is figuring out how to tame the carrier wave bleedthrough. (...) This pedal was designed for one thing ... pure unadulterated noise. It constantly self-oscillates at whatever pitch setting is chosen and can transform a guitar signal into a cloud of shearing shrapnel with the onboard distortion engaged.
There is a Sirkut.com but all it says is
# All items are now available only through noisefx.com I've been pretty busy which explains why this website hasn't been updated. I'll be providing information about all the items that are coming out. I've introduced a few new items such as the Carpet Burn(distortion) and the Triplet (another oscillator) to the lineup. A new batch with these new items will be at noisefx in the very close future (in November 2006) so stay tuned.
# Update 12/05/06
The WNG2 will be sent to Noisefx later this week. It's the same WNG (White Noise Generator) as before except it will now have a White/Pink noise selector switch along with a filter knob so you can create even lower end or crackily highs. I'll post a photo online later in the week.

noisefx.com has a promising url, but I'm dissapointed to say there is no WNG with pink noise switch in their inventory.

:cry:

Any noise freaks around?

Looks to me like startup booteeker that never got anywhere with it.

That NoiseFX site is rather disappointing..... no weird noise boxes at all except for that silly Glitch Computer thing.

There´s a sucker born every minute - and too many of them end up in the bootweak pedal biz.
