Recently moved, haven't played in a few weeks, finally couldn't stand it & had to bust out the holy trinity.
Beautiful setup! I go similar with the Ocabvre MKIII>You’re DOOM>Proton V4. Polytope on the way but been using and plan to keep a JAM Ripply Fall bass, I’m sure the IE is capable of not weird extremes which will be fun
what different uses do you have with the Subterrania and Octabvre? Love everything I’ve played from IE, but haven’t explored their Dub and Sub stuff yet.

Ive wanted to try the ripply falls but yeah, the way I have the poly set up is a just a simple lush chorus.
I like the 3 leaf trinity but honestly the ie combo of subterranea, oxide, & xd is just nasty & hard to beat imo.
For those of you that have the Ghost Finish, have you noticed any issues with the finish or patinas developing?
I haven't noticed any issues. I don't touch them too much though. I did apply the oils from my fingers to the front of the octabvre mkIII just to darken it for the sake of font readability, so it definitely does change as you touch it.
Have you noticed if the finish scratches other pedals it contacts? If I recall that was a concern someone had with the media blasted finish
I've had "patina" or surface rust, oxidation, on all the bare metal 3leaf products
There was a fair amount of discussion about the ghost finish a few pages back when the new Doom 2s landed in people's hands. Here's the way mine came out of the box.
5sg.
Bob just announced v2. I love mine. My favorite funk by a mile. Not sure I’d trade up for a new version but maybe? These were unavailable for a little while but now he’s got them.
I’m a big fan. He also makes one of my favorite fuzz pedals, it’s branded for Bray amps.
It looks different enough. I’m interested but not sure. I love the OG, no hurry to unplug it.
It looks like the same pedal
works on bass and guitar, no more bass or guitar versions.
Picked up GR1 #53 on a lark when down in Portland this weekend and had to buy a big board to make it all fit. Still thinking about putting the B:Assmaster in the loop. Excuse the cable spaghetti, placement isn't permanent yet.
Silver Wonderlove on the 'verb for not totally outrageous price
The last drop sold out in about six minutes so the interest is definitely there. Rightly so too as the pedals are excellent.
I don’t know what the background to any delays in making pedals are but there is a similar level of output from 3Leaf as from other top boutique manufacturers. Parts are scarce and COVID hit a lot of them hard (financially and otherwise). I’m trying to be patient because, to me, the output is worth the wait.
Hopefully we’ll be lucky enough to have another drop soon and hopefully the backlog in the system will begin to even itself out over the next year or so.
If you can hold out for an Octabvre, or snag one in the classifieds, I recommend you give it a go.
