TGP: so transparent its like its not even there. costs $500
IFL: oscillates so much, its unusable. but it sounds neat! costs $200
I disagree on the unusable point. Most ODs ARE unusable, it's just people haven't figured this out yet. So make a OD into a oscillating fuzz/distortion you suddenly have a real effect vs a placebo-esque toy to make you think you are getting vintage blooz tonez when really you just spent $500 on something a little better then boss SD-1...
iunno, i'd argue that past a certain point oscillation is also a placebo-esque toy to make you think you're making cool sounds, but are actually just buying something to make self indulgent noises at home rather than some useable product
Probably, but at least people who buy crazy oscillating stuff admit they're just toys to make weird noises. I've got no problem with people buying klons, I just find it amusing, and personally I see an oscillating fuzz as way more useful than an overdrive so transparent you can't tell it's even there...

i'll bite and have circuit boards made. also... you screenprint? we need to talk.
Plus, on several occasions, I've used oscillating fuzz musically. I don't feel that it's a toy. I just feel that things can easily be dismissed as toys when one isn't creative enough to utilize them.

This. I've used oscillating fuzz live, no one has ever yelled at me cuz I know how to control my shit
Late to the party on this one, but I am totally down. I don't really care to say it...I've wanted a klon for a couple of years, but just couldn't justify the price on the used market for a boost. Really hope this comes to fruition!!!
