I suspect they'd like to distribute Gristlizer clones.

I didn't know that Tim's company name is LOFO.

Or is it someone else selling these designs off?

What is this "Gristliser"? I saw your Gristle Box layout, but  no values.

Chris Carter, of the UK noise band Throbbing Gristle, used the Gristleizer.
In fact he more or less claimed to have invented it, but it was a guitar effect (switchable filter /tremolo) from a UK DIY mag (Popular Electronics I think). Had a filter swept by a LFO, and you switched out the caps to make it a trem (if I remember tright).
In all fairness to Chris Carter, it would have disappeared without trace except for his use of it, nobody had ever used one to scream through before. I had thought of producign a clone last year (20th anniversary of the Gristelizers 5 minutes of fame) but, to be honest, it sounds pretty tame compared to what we have today!!
A classic case of, it isn't what you have, it is what you do with it :wink:

In fact there is a commercial clone,
