How many ring mods is the right amount of ring mods?

I’ve never been a fan of conventional sounds, Throbbing Gristle and The Residents are some of my favourite bands, so naturally this is where my board has ended up over the years.

Ring mod into fuzz, ring mod after fuzz, reverb into fuzz, phaser before or after fuzz or ring mod. Tasty.

I think the boss DSD-3 is hugely underrated both as a delay and as a weird little thing. I have the rack mounted version for my synth, and I had to get the pedal. It’s either a crunchy lofi digital delay or it’s holding a short phrase that it plays back every time you stomp on it.

How to make music that sounds slowed down?

Of course I can just record something and slow it down, but if I wanted to just play a part live that sounded like that… there’s more to it than “just play slower.” The attacks and decays need to be longer, and I’m wondering if two pitch shifters in a row, one shifting up and another shifting right back down might get that kind of artificial pitch feel…

Edit: I am primarily talking about a guitar rather than a synth or anything sampled
