In the contexts I was talking about (hobbyist DIY guitar pedal forums) motorboating is often used as a catch-all for many types of oscillation, probably because the symptoms you describe are a very common error. Sometimes you get lucky and can tune the resulting oscillator by turning the guitar's volume knob!

I wasn't trying to assert anything about the article, just responding to a comment about desired op amp imperfections in guitar effects. It's fairly common practice to bandwidth limit high gain op amp stages to avoid the issues discussed in the article, amongst other things.
