Thumping Double Square Snakes vs. Electro-Faustus EF101

So... basically I am an owner of the Electro-Faustus EF101 Dual Oscillator and I am eyeballing the DC Thumping Double Square Snakes. The Square Snakes has three oscillators and the EF101 has two. The Square Snakes has a mix knob and the EF101 has a rate knob. Does the Square Snakes have a rate knob for each oscillator also? :idk:

Basically I'm looking for some more oscillator bliss and I want people to talk me into why I need Square Snakes in addition to my EF101.

Any feedback from users of the Square Snakes would be super and if you have a EF101 also you get bonus points! :p

i have neither. :grumpy:

i do have a rot yr brain and it is super, thanks for asking! :p

i really really really want a TDSS and i do plan on getting one at some time. the electro-faustus look like good fun as well, but i prefer the demo vids of the TDSS. that is not to say i would not also get an EF101. i had never played with any of these oscillating synth things until i got that ryb and i am hooked so much fun! :joy:

OF COURSE YOU NEED TO BUY THE TDSS!!!


my question for aen is which TDSS are being made? he made a demo for the original and a demo for a "tame" version. I would like both versions! ;)

:dance: :dance: :dance:

Right on. I would love a rot yr brain! I think Aen is just making the 'tame' versions these days but I could be wrong. :idk:

Oscillating synths are really fun!

The first generation was using a chip that I can't seem to source again, so it sounded alittle harsher, and the pitch would drift pretty bad. So now, yeah, it's the "tame" version, which is arguably about twice as usefull. The real magic comes when you starve it though...

Hmmm.... a starved Square Snakes sounds like a treat!
