Me too, me too... so with that established, anyone know what it IS??

Onto ring modulating.  This from a review of the Boss ME30 in this month's
The Guitar Magazine....

"I have but one niggle.  What is the point of that load of arse called ring
modulation that Boss and other makers keep shoving in these units?  With
the exception of frightening small children, there doesn't seem to be a
single use for it.  Any serious (printable) suggestions would be very
welcome indeed" 

Anyone wanting to give them a serious (printable) suggestion, send it to
The Guitar Magazine on guitar@lhm.co.uk  Or, send them to me and I'll
collate them.
