No. I don't have a Brat.
Here's some of the apreggiating thing i was talking about before with the Tone Axe at the beginning. Then I switch the Tone Axe off and the Würst on. Würst is in the pitch up mode. I totally forgot to roll the volume knob back up before turning on the Würst. I meant to do that. It sounds better that way. Oh, well, I guess I'll have to make another video.

Good stuff, Chankgeez. That weird thing with the tone axe and HA was awesome.

Thank you, gentlemens. Yeah, I really dig that TA + HA thing. Gonna have to explore that in greater detail.
Since I don't like white knobs, I had Keeley send me a Würst with black ones:
Not sure they look totally right. So, I may throw on some purple ones.

Thanks, goosekevin, yeah, the arping is sick. The craziest part was that it was louder than what I was actually playing. Really nice!
Yeah, the Würst PCB finish is nicely done. I swapped out those black knobs for purple ones. They go better. Pic later.

Here's a clip of me manipulating the feedback using the expression pedal with the Tone Axe:

So, Sir Chank of Geez. Where are we with thee after a suitable period of honeymooning? Thumbs up? Down? Sideways?
I've finally been Octasynthed, thus creating an opening in my perpetual Subdecay GAS and loving the NoiseBox as I do, I am more than curious about how that Antagonizer matches up. I appreciated your initial comments--anything further to add?
Also--still digiing the Wurst? I liked the "annoying little sister alien Mikubird" vocal quality--does it have more than one trick in it's bag?

I've been a little busy. Been meaning to update this thread.
I'm sorta sideways on the Würst. It does three different things, none of 'em truly outstanding. Solid though. Yeah, I think the octave up function is my favorite part of it. It does sound pretty. I've been meaning to make some more video clips. You'll see/hear, hopefully soon. It doesn't really stack that well with mid-level dirt. Sounds pretty good with some mild fuzz/dirt or being totally obliterated.
I like the Harmonic Antagonizer. (As I've said before, not as much as the Noise Box though.) HA is much more controllable than the Noise Box. So, it's kind of a trade off. If you like the NB, but want a more usable pedal, the HA is for you. Again, I plan on doing some more video clips for this too.
Sorry my updates aren't more forthcoming.

Naw--you've been great. I really can't work out the deal with the Wurst--would definitely like to hear more/more about that....
The HA I know I'd like/love, but having a Noise Box clouds the issue for me. No doubt there have been a few times when I wanted to be able to tame that beast a little, but not at the expense of the cray. In a vacuum I'd jump on it (HA), but these days I'm learning to rein it in a bit with the acquisitions. I'd actually like to hear more of how the HA operates as a (stable) synced oscillator with little to no filter sweep--I think it could be a great sort of "base tone" for synthy manipulations. The Vitruvian Mod already sort of does that, but I'm interested in what sort of flava the HA oscillata has. Not that I don't like the enveloped filter sweeps, but yeah, this could be a good utility pedal I think....
OT--besides the Moog FreqBox and I guess Pigtronix Mothership are there any other pedals out there that do a synced oscillator that is relatively stable? To add to the difficulty factor for this question--exclude PLL and PWM devices?
Thanks Chankgeez!!!!!
