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?
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!

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.
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!
