Copilot ring mods?

[Akeris]

HELLO DERE. So I'm finally in the market for a ring mod and I've been looking at Copilot stuff...and they have quite a selection.

Antenna VS Android VS Planetoid

Similarities/Differences/Comments/Testimonies/Praise/More Praise ok go??

[steubig]

i have all three (well i have an antdroid, which is the android and the antenna together).

they all do cool stuff.


for my money, the planetoid is the closet to "classic" ring mod sound.

Take a look at the EHX Ring Thing. It can do a lot of stuff that most ring mods can't (auto-tuning, band splitting, wave shapes, pitch shifting) and it has presets. I did a quick run through of it and posted it at www.soundclick.com/zebcarpenter if you want to hear some sounds it can do.

[faceinbass]

I have the ring thing and the copilot orbit fuzz.

If you want a true ring mod go ring thing..

If you want more "out there" go for the copilot stuff.

I don't think anyone can tell you which one you will like.

[Akeris]

I'm asking more what is the difference sound-wise and in functionality between the three so I can figure out hhwhat I wants.

Thankee.

Gotcha. The funtionality is similar on all 3. Tone-wise, the Planetoid is basically a "normal-sounding" ring mod, the Android is similar but more of a dirty ring-mod. The Antenna is basically a sample-rate reducer, which sounds more like a bit-crusher, but it also has a ring-mod carrier-type sound to it as well.

Keeping in mind of course that the Ring Thing is digital while the Copilot stuff is analog.

Agree, though to be a stickler the Antenna is similar to the Heliotrope in that it is using an analog process (ring modulation/fuzz) to simulate a digital one (bit crushing/sample rate reduction).

[steubig]

yep, all analog stuff, was sort of thinking that it's the sound it's going after.

also, the orbit is nothing like a ring mod. just some wacked-out fuzz.

[Jared Lash]

Yeah, but it's a FUN wacked out fuzz.

Both Proton Lenny (in his band Mouth) and John Davis with Jojo Mayer's Nerve make some great electronica sounds with the Copilot.

[steubig]

oh yeah, adam modded my orbit so it self-oscillates.

love my copilots and have another on the way.

[sutarappa]

ok, go! CopilotFX will fix you because you're broken and you need fixing. save your own life. g**damn.
