I prefer the Atomic Cock for ease of use. It just makes the right sound for me with minimal fuss
There might be a PCB coming for DIYers: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/daredevil-atomic-cock.7645/#post-160855
The hilarious thing is that’s what they were designed to do - sound like an overdriven valve amp into a clean solid-state amp like a JC-120… which they don’t at all! That they sound great into an already overdriven valve amp is just a happy accident. (Personally I prefer to add dirt rather than volume with the pedal, but both work.)

SHO is absolutely crucial for my sound, it's always on. Does that subtle brutal metallic farty breakup, but not spikey.

Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.

My gran had one of those. She could be brutal I suppose, but she thought subtle was on the other end of the railway from Carlisle.

But seriously, any self oscillating, pad type or drone sounds are boring after about 30 seconds of trying it once, if not to the player then to any others unfortunate enough to be in earshot.
I think its like a good whisky, if you say you don't like whisky then you just haven't found the right one for you.
I don't like anything past a four stage phaser. Sounds too synthetic too me. I'm going to use awful words which have no real relation to sound....I think that a nice four stage phaser can sound nice and chewey. Which is bs, they are both electronically processed sounds. It's not like 4 stage phasers are grown on trees.
Many effects (mostly the earlier ones, I guess) were made to replicate situations in the real world - reverb, echo.
Some effects were made to rreplicate non-electric music - vibrato and chorus that occurs in singing, multiple instruments playing together etc.
Think of places you have been wbere there exists extreme amounts of reverb and echo. You can get slight phasing (and flanging) effects "naturally" if you overdrive the input by shouting and clapping.
When my son was wee, we went somewhere where there was a lot of reverb and echo. Children are delighted by the effect and make more noise, which increases the effect, so they make more noise, so...
For a few months after that whenever we drove under a bridge of through a tunnel, he'd start shouting, bawling and clapping his hands..
Still not sure about Ring Mod though, but the solo in Paranoid sounds ace.
