2 Oakley VCOs on a scope

"Checking the tracking/drifting. They track fine individually, but together there's some very small divergence that I'll need to adjust by ear. I hate doing that, but it's unavoidable.

The hardest part of this test is getting the frequencies exactly matched. After that, they just sit there, drifting slowly and making an aweome sound."

MWFX Wave Machine - MultiVCO Guitar/Bass Synth Vintage FX

via this auction

"Providing the guitarist with a chance to enter the realms of the synthesizer, The Wave Machine is a multiple VCO for your guitar. Implementing similar wave shaping techniques to those used within vintage analog synthesizers, the guitarist (or bassist/keyboardist) is provided with three wave shapes, Saw, Triangle and Square.

In taking the pitch from your guitar's pickups and moulding it into one of the three wave shapes, it is possible to create some unique guitar tones, especially when used in conjunction with other effects such as chorus, autowah and delay. The Saw wave produces a rich nasally sound, capable of mimicking brass tones whereas Triangle smooths your sound into something closer to that of flute and woodwind. Lastly Square wave gives your guitar that classic analog synth sound."

MWFX 8 Bit - Glitch/Chiptune

via this auction

"Inspired by Atari, Nintendo, C64, Amiga and Spectrum (and possibly Acorn/BBC) The 8 Bit, our square egg, pulls apart the fundamental tones from your guitar note and turns them into 'glitchy' square pulses reminiscent of 8 bit computer music. From dirty octave down to pitch shifting trail offs this is a truly unique pedal.

With just one control on top for volume and a setting inside to control response it is a simple effect primarily designed to react to the velocity, pitch and length of your picking. As you'll notice in the samples below the 8-Bit is capable of raunchy bass synth tones to pixelated lead sounds."

Hypersonic SIDizer

" SIDizer is a state-of-art emulation of legendary SID chip in a form of a modern software synthesizer. Using circuit modeling technology nearly all unique features of two versions (6581-8580) of SID chip among their famous flaws are accurately modeled. This emulation focuses on simulating nonlinear character of SID filter and mimicking special 6581 distortion that mainly influence the alternation of filtered signal in a real SID chip. It offers additional envelopes, LFOs , mod matrix and a routable bit-cruncher for adding extra lo-fi sound quality. SIDizer GUI is inspired from HyperSID that offers easy tweaking for all parameters on a single page. It is not only a powerful instrument for creating chip-tune style but it can produce a unique type of analog sound colored with harmonic distortion that is suited for creating bass, lead and drum sounds.

Main features:
-3 oscillators offering 8 waveforms: Saw, Triangle, Square, Pitched noise, "AND" combinations of them
-Oscillators special features: ring, sync, phase sync, Sqr PW, level
-Selectable 6581-8580 D/A distortion
-3 Amp envelopes ADSR
-12 dB (LP & HP), 6 dB BP SID modeled Filter
-Best matched Exponential-fitted curves for 6581-8580 filter frequencies
-Simulating 6581 half wave filter distortion
-1 Filter envelope + key track for filter freq
-2 LFOs each with 4 simultaneous outputs offering sync and retriggering option
-1 Mod envelope
-Versatile Modulation matrix
-Bug-generator module for reproducing famous bugs: oscillator leakage, ex-input noise
-Bit Cruncher with pre and post filter route option
-Advanced 8 step C64 like arpeggiator
-Master: Pitch and Mod wheel, Porta, Spread, Reverb, Delay
-Easy to use GUI
-Factory soundbank created by Torben Hansen (aka Metal of Vibrants)"
