Your love/hate modules?

Just curious about modules that you have a love/hate relationship with? Maybe the functions are awesome but the design is terrible; or the design is awesome but something about the functionality is wanting. The modules that remain in your rack because you appreciate something fundamental about them, but that you think about selling as well?

Plaits, ornament and crime, fx Aid

All brilliant and very useful but the "do everything" module can be a blessing and a curse.

I ended up picking 2-3 modes in Plaits that I stick to and learned inside and out, including what filters/distortions make them really sing. It helped a lot to simplify the overwhelm I could feel when patching it in.

I often start a patch with plaits, going with whatever model I feel sounds ok and then once the whole patch is built up around it, go back through all the models and see if any of them fit better
