I might try to mod some pedals like this....I just dont know what the ground lift does.
The ground lift is basically the same concept as the voltage starve, but for ground side of the power supply. It increases the resistance between the circuit and the ground connector of the power supply until the pedal is totally ungrounded. You can kind of think of it like an MS-20 type filter, where you're creating a "window" based on the hi-pass and lo-pass frequencies, but it's with the voltage and ground instead.
I wouldn't suggest doing this mod to other things; it seems potentially unsafe.

Nobodies gonna mention Trogotronic? Idk I'd it's even distortion so much as just pure destruction of everything.
They have great stuff!
I'm with you on that. I have a 669cv and I love what it does. As well as screaming destruction it works well to slide a small amount of it into regular beat driven tracks for some unusual texture. Plus it has the best momentary buttons going I think.
I have 2x 'holy grail' eurorack modules and m666 black is one of them.
Had the m666 years ago and sold it. Love trog but that module is only even semi-interesting if it's self-patched to hell and back

You can't even hear anything above 20k, this is silly. Most audio systems will have some sort of low pass filter, and anything digital will have a filter to remove aliasing. What I would do is instead of focusing on that aspect, I'd focus on pedals that have extreme levels of DB boost or that include a feedback loop.
My triple death metal chain smashes your nerd logic like Belushi did the acoustic guitar in Animal House

Which Trog synths do you like? I just ordered a Mother Mutant and I'm hoping it'll be a keeper.

I have a 669. I dig it. It .akes some wild noize. I like it enough to say that I wished it tracked 1vpo through a switch to put it in that state. That would be cool.

So, you ground out the emitter when you use the transistor as a switch for on and off purposes....to set the branch off I believe. I think the emitter collector resistor ratio is modified for amplification purposes. Might be what's going on when you build a fuzz circuit....like when you .od out a fuzz face to do some crqzy sh!+. It ends up sounding like one of those soda meizers I think. Let me look for this video where it talks about that....
Mother Mutant is the Trogotronic 658, based on the Mini Mutant 657. My first Trog box. I have X1L3 Shard and Underwurlde, both very good. Underwurlde is more unique, IMO.
I don't have one yet, but the Eoten fuzzbox has some interesting features and a bit of CV. I wish there were more fuzzes and distortions built with experimental controls, feedback, CV. I might get a Ritual Electronics Miasma+Crime just for that reason, even though it's not that aggressive and has no tonestack.

Have not had a bad one besides the m666, everything they do is great tbh....the m666 could be commissioned if you had the money (pretty hefty sum) last I checked, but WT will likely try to talk you out of it as there are other less hard to find Trog units that can do the exact same + more....the 669cv might be one of them, I forget. The m666 isn't a terrible module, just nowhere near as fun as their other stuff in my opinion. It was one of the modules I was after for a good couple of years.
Sherman Filterbank + ye olde DOD fuzz and/or this is the nastiest I've gotten.

I tried out a pedal chain yesterday with a white noise generator into all my most obscure and 90s-harsh-noise appropriate pedals, in the end what sounded harshest was when I bypassed all of them and just had the WNG going straight into a Behringer Bass EQ

Well, I'd certainly also like such a list, if only to know which modules I should avoid using when little children and dogs are around.
I was on this same mission for my eurorack and ended with the Ritual Electronics Miasma. Honestly its too gnarly and I never use it lol. That feedback knob tho

Do stomp boxes counts ?
Boss Metal Zone.
Shitty and agressive.
Absolutely they should count.
Absolutely that one is nasssssty.
I need to add the DA 120 preamp pedal to this list.
That thing is nuts. Anybody heard that one?
It's brutal and then it like opens up another door or filth that wasn't there before.....cenobite doorway territories.
Probably not the most agressive or brutal, but i love the retromechanical labs EFFCV. I like a distortion that retains some tonality, otherwise it really is just a screeching mess. And i like the fun details like labeling the knobs 'Hurt' and Pain' and having them function in the opposite way: counterclockwise = more pain
Hertz Donut and 100 Grit eurorack modules get massive brutal mayhem in modular land or my Virus TI2 synth do fantastic job. Pedal wise the Dwarfcraft Great Destroyer pedal is crushing
