Creating and experimenting with fun and unique sound effects can be one of the most interesting elements in a musician's wheelhouse. Harmonizer, pitch shifter, octave & modulator pedals opens the door for guitarists to invent exciting new melodies or enhance existing ones. By combing multiple audio signals to create and alter the tone of an instrument, these effects will have you playing spectacular grooves in no time.
Ring modulators produce a resonant, metallic sound, offering a full modulation effect. By suppressing and replacing the original sound wave with a ring of higher and lower pitches, the guitar will have an almost 'stuttering' sound, adding texture and depth. Ring modulators have been around for years and were famously used in the Black Sabbath song "Paranoid". An octave pedal on the other hand, allows the guitarist to either go up or down one octave, matching the note with the same note a scale above or below. This allows you to reach higher or lower sounds than would otherwise be possible, making them ideal for added flexibility in solo performances or practicing harmonies.
Harmonizer pedals are popular as they ensure your chords and notes are on the same level in a proper harmony. They can modify pitch by altering the frequency of a sound wave or adding new harmonies. When there is a need for pure, perfect chorus tone, a harmonizer pedal can be a fantastic option. Similar but a bit more to the point is a pitch shifter. These handy little devices ensure you always sound fantastic by letting you choose a note then pairing it with the pitch you want; after this point the pitch will be in complete harmony with your guitar for a perfectly synched sound.
If you are looking for a specific type of sound pedal, the Moog MF-102 Moogerfooger Ring Modulator can create effects from a subtle tremolo to loud sweeping or gong sounds. On the other hand, if you wish to enhance any instrument from guitars, horns or vocals, the Pigtronix Mothership Analog Synthesizer guitar effects pedal produces a wide array of tuning options and harmonies to encourage experimentation.
Whether you're jamming in front of a full house, or just having some fun at rehearsal, harmonizer, pitch shifter, octave and ring modulator effect pedals are a fantastic tool in achieving bold new sounds and creating pure, perfect harmonies. With the press of a foot pedal, you'll be enhancing your sound like never before.

Following the footsteps of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid – A Patagonian Adventure!1
After a very long stint in Buenos Aires (everyone I have ever known has gotten stuck there for weeks and weeks beyond their intended stay – might have something to do with the Argentinian Men, the electric atmosphere of the city, the incredible nightlife and….well, the Argentinian Men…) I decided it was high time that I head south and see what all the fuss was about.
The vast and hostile terrain that makes up Patagonia, the southernmost point in both Argentina and Chile is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful sights there is on this earth. Snow-capped peaks, vast mountain lakes, glaciers, fjords, not to mention the wildlife – penguins, whales, sea lions,…and did I mention the penguins!? They are so cute – like miniature black and white people with funny stumpy legs!!
In order to get a sense of the scale of the place – it takes 50 hours to get from Buenos Aires to the tip in Ushuaia by bus (luxury bus that is) – Immense!…I cheated, however and flew down to Punta Arenas on the Chilean side (in my defense… it was only just the end of winter, and many said it was the only way of getting there at all! Turns out wasn't, but this made me feel slightly less guilty at the time).
Punta Arenas was a rather depressing little town – very grey, crumbling and weather beaten…perhaps what you'd expect from such a harsh climate. Puerto Natales (my actual destination) was the same. From a tourism perspective, it is simply a jump off point for Torres del Paine National Park and the ferry ride back up to Puerto Mont through the Chilean Fjords (a stunning trip, so I'm told). I was on my own at this point in my travels, and there was absolutely no one else around –well, apart from 3 incredibly brave German girls – only 13 years old – that were on the adventure trip of a lifetime in their school holiday exchange break. They adopted me as a 'big sister', and we decided to go off trekking in the Torres Del Paine national park for a couple of days. It was spectacular – despite our 8 hour trek yielding nothing but fog-ridden views and knee deep snow. Occasionally, I would drop back from the girls and take it all in – space, as far as the eye could see (which was a long way when the fog cleared intermittently!), beauty, nature at its most powerful, and there I was – practically at the end of the world!
I soon left Puerto Natales and made my way back into Argentina, anxious to see the Perito Moreno glacier. The nearest town, El Calafate was far more bustling and welcoming and the hostel (run by friends of friends back in Buenos Aires) was a home from home (the Argentine people are among the kindest I have met in my life – generous, hospitable and above all fun!).
I didn't have much time to spare, so I organised an ice trekking trip for the very next day – a little expensive but something I had always wanted to do! It was one of the most exciting experiences of my life! There I was, trekking on a real life glacier, crampons and all! My little group followed the guide in single file as he took us on a walk up and around the glacier, explaining as we went about how they worked, the dangers, etc. I have never seen ice so blue, so pure, so white – and looking out from the top of the monstrous slab of ice that was moving, living, breathing: I felt like I was in another world.
I did a bit more trekking in El Chalten National Park and then, deciding to forgo Ushuaia (another 18 hours south-west), headed north to see the whales and the penguins in Peninsula Valdes, Puerto Madryn and the lakes and ski resorts of Bariloche.
I had never before been so close to such incredible animals – my little boat was entirely surrounded by whales as far as the eye could see – almost close enough to touch! When we got back to shore, I wanted to go out again and again! Instead, however, I headed over to a different part of the peninsula to see the penguins, sea lions and elephant seals – fascinating! I just sat and watched for hours until it was time to go home.
My final stop in Patagonia (for now, at least…) was Bariloche in the lake region. Probably the least 'alternative' stop of all – it reminded my of a Swiss alpine village with chocolate shops aplenty, beautiful mountain lakes and even a ski resort a short distance from the town. It was, in a word, idyllic; it was extremely hard to tear myself away from the ease and comfort of it all (I even indulged in a little spa activity while I was there!)
Patagonia is a nature lover's paradise – its raw beauty is undeniable, and this, coupled with the simplicity of life within the boundaries of the region soothes the soul (without wanting to sound too cliché or cheesy). I felt refreshed, alive, and invigorated after my stint there and would recommend it to anyone travelling in the South America region. I myself have vowed to go back one day to the very tip of the world – Ushuaia – to experience the Ferry trip and perhaps even hop on a cruise to Antarctica.

The debate over immigration reform has once more shown its capacity to fracture the Republican coalition. John McCain, a co-author of last week's reform bill, recently engaged in a nasty exchange on the Senate floor with fellow Republican John Cornyn of Texas, who opposed the bill. And bill supporters Saxby Chambliss of Georgia and Lindsay Graham of South Carolina were roundly booed at their respective state conventions.
So far, the response by the Republican faithful to the Bush-Kennedy-McCain immigration reform proposal is redolent of both the 1976 uproar surrounding the Panama Canal treaty (which would help make Reagan president in 1980) and the current administration's Dubai ports fiasco. As with the Panama Canal treaty, which roused patriotic sentiment, immigration in general touches on American's sense of national identity. But the phenomenon of illegal immigration, which this bill was designed to address, strikes closer to the heart of citizens: working and middle-class voters feel that they have been made foreigners in their own localities by the influx of cheap labor. As with the Dubai ports deal, the Bush administration seems to be undermining its own core principles by failing to put security first.
The Washington Post noted in a front-page story that there is little reason to believe that the (deservedly maligned) Department of Homeland Security will be up to the enormous administrative task of implementing the legislation. Similarly, many voters will remember the 1986 immigration reform bill, which provided amnesty for illegal immigrants in exchange for enforcement provisions that never took hold.
McCain will no doubt be hurt by the fallout from the deal and his show of temper in defending it; Mitt Romney, in yet another flip-flop, now claims to oppose the bill. Rudy Giuliani has done little other than question the bill's security implications. Though immigration is unlikely to boost a second-tier candidate into the top rank, it might provide the opportunity for an outsider like Tom Tancredo (who has already murmured about running) to put together a breakaway campaign based on his opposition to both abortion and illegal immigration. Whatever happens, it is obvious that for the Republican party, the political costs of this deal are going to be high.

4.3.2 is out...I wouldn't suggest jailbreaking an iPod touch... I've tried it before. Its awesome and cool looking but it reduces your battery by so much. Plus any games that don't have online saves...you'll have to start over again.
If you have 4.2.1, do not upgrade. You can use greenpois0n to jailbreak it. I'm not sure about 4.3, 4.3.1, or 4.3.2 though.
Sent from my iPod touch using WiiHacks
Okay...thanks. Anyway, message I'm trying to get across. It's great and looks cool but you have a really, really, really reduced battery life. So expect to charge it frequently.Originally Posted by richardsito
I am on the Super Mario Galaxy 2.5 forum.
Still on my trusty 4.2.1. jailbroken with GreenPois0n. No need to update I feel. Unless since then there has been some super features for the iPod Touch 3rd gen. I know there were ALOT of battery drain issues. So I just stuck where it seems to work the best. Any worthy updates to maybe consider upgrading? I know there are untethered JB's for all FW's (what about the new 4.3.3 you mentioned?), but is it truly worth it? I always say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"....
Go to Jailbreakme.com works great
Yeah, but doesn't 4.3 with redsnow have to be tethered instead of untethered? :-(
Redsnow can jb untethered for any 4.3.x except .4 and .5

Francis Marion and Sumter National Forest Supervisor Rick Lint is reminding visitors and campers that the use of fireworks is prohibited on all national forests and national grasslands. This requirement is year-round and includes all weather conditions and holidays.
"As we approach the celebration of our nation's independence, we remind forest visitors to celebrate safely," said Lint. "We each share the responsibility to reduce the the threat of human-caused wildfires and protect our public lands for the future."
Regulations are enforced on the Francis Marion and Sumter National Forests, and violation is punishable by a fine of not more than $5,000; imprisonment for not more than six months; or both.
Forest visitors are also reminded to ensure that all fires are extinguished and cold to the touch before leaving them.
The mission of the U.S. Forest Service is to sustain the health, diversity and productivity of the nation's forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations. The agency manages 193 million acres of public land, provides assistance to state and private landowners, and maintains the largest forestry research organization in the world.
