I've been using Sleepdrone 5 for a while now.
It's not a pedal per se, more like a tabletop drone synth, but really similar to the one you posted.

Skychord makes 'em as well as a bunch of other boxes kinda like it.

Dwarfcraft also makes weird oscillating boxes that I lust.

And ummmmm, does Kaossilator count?

I've always wanted a SOMMS or Sleepdrone
I wouldn't really consider it a pedal but the Drone Commander is awesome as well:

Here's a bunch of them:

I've always liked the sound of this one. Synthrotek Nandamonium with a delay.

That's a cool one. Its similar to the sleepdrone 6 but less expensive.

Theres also the Maximal Drone which is even less expensive but doesn't have the starve knob that this one has.

The one thing I really liked about the sleepdrone is that you can control the volume of each oscillator but a lot of theae boxes dont offer that.

Drone Commander RULES but is more expensive.

-------

I have a hand in a similar drone box like this, but personally I think it's going to be better and more fully featured. I'll post more later this week ;)

I have this one. Skychord Zodiac. The controls are pretty cool in the way you can control the volume for different groups of osc's:


12 analog square wave oscillators
12 volume controls
12 on/off controls
4x master volume for group of 3 oscillators (Top left & right and Bottom left & right)
2x sub master volume controls for group of Top 6 oscillators and Bottom 6 oscillators

Oh, not sure if this totally counts but I also have the Skychord Glamour Box. You can actually feed a guitar signal etc through it you wanted.

Masf osc03 and osc02v2 are fun, here together with a Montreal Assembly fertility one.

Maximal drone is 6 oscillators for like $110. If you want a cheaper option.

Though I know building these kind of synths is super cheap parts wise, if you feel like DIYing.

I use this. Simple, not that many functions, but still cool as hell.

need more videos of somms. less playing the guitar, more playing the pedal! :omg:
Michael Rucci's stuff is superb, and the shipping to Sweden is pretty cheap. You could always see if he'll do a custom for you.
