No, not the new Serge Gator of course. This one appears to be a DIY device. You can find more info here. "The Gator is my implementation of an AM based synthesizer.
4 "suboscillators" with variable wavefom (saw / square) and range (LFO to above audio frequency) amplitude-modulate each other in a sequencial order. They form a chain of AM'd oscillators with a very complex output waveform which can be non periodic, i.e. never repeats itself - based on the interaction of the 4 underlying suboscillators.
The Gator features two of these chains (of 4 suboscillators each). For less chaotic results these chains can be synced in a special manner, still maintaining enough individual variations.
Frequencies of all 8 suboscillators can be controlled by knobs or via light dependent resistors. Special routing switches and knobs allow to dynamically change the way of AM - with an attenuating pot to define the amount of AM.
The signals of both oscillator chains pass through a 5 band equalizer - one independent EQ for each chain. Optionally a passive, coil/transformer based ring modulator can process the signals before sending them to the output socket on the rear."
