Hello gents, long shot, but if anybody sees a Xerograph deluxe around for sale, hook a dude up! Trying to work with Taylor to make some small tweaks to the envelope follower, but I don't have my XD anymore (because I'm an idiot). And because of the chip shortage, he isn't making them right now. So I'm trying to find one to send to him to play with. The disadvantage with having so many amazing pedals come into my studio, is sometimes you let go of things prematurely.

Read back a bit. The chips that the IE pedals are based upon are currently not available due to supply chain and manufacturing issues because of the international COVID situation. Without the regular flow of new pedals that Taylor was making (though in high demand even then), people are paying way more for the privilege of purchasing one now.

I'd have totally leant you mine, but definitely not to be torn up. Still like it too much to let it go. If I see one come up and it's reasonable rather than some of the stuff that's hit the market lately, I'll let you know.

@Matt Dean has a few and is right down the coast.
Greetings fellow fans of IE… after receiving a nice note from @Proton Lenny asking about any extra XeroD’s I might have, I thought I’d post my Xerograph inventory and what I might consider selling. For the record, I own an old school three knob Xerograph, which I will never sell as it’s the best filter sweep pedal EVER. I also own two XeroDs - one is standard issue which is currently doing duty on my main pedal board. The other is part of a Dubterrograph, which is currently languishing on a lonely shelf. If I sell anything, it will be the DubTG and I will sell it for what I paid + shipping (I was not born a capitalist).
Anyway, what I am now calling the Great Crumble is really effecting our ability to get the toys we need/want and love.

Agreed - I waited 7 months for my boss sy1 to come in last year due to covid and shortage of stock… if it’s not insane pricing I’ve been a bit bad lately and just buying any pedal I’ve always wanted to try if it’s in stock somewhere!
let’s hope this stuff goes back to decent production rates sooner rather than later…

Yeah, for the time being it may help developing trades. Jumped on a second Xerograph Dlx as i know it's a nice trade option to get another unobtainium pedal i'm after (3leaf Octabvre MKIII). Don't know if it'll work, but letting this one go for decent price and having to pay the premium for a MKIII is something i wouldn't consider.
Holy Smokes... I really shouldn't have let mine go... especially for the price I sold it for! LOL
Hmmm I went to look at this out of curiosity and could not find it. Is it gone? I am wondering if it has to do with region since I am in Canada. I have heard of people saying they couldn't see ads because of that.
On a side note I got MY QF2 last week (3 weeks before delivery date) and I am absolutely loving it. I was planning on writing something nice up but have been busy and sore.
What I can say is, it is amazing. Works great stacked or on its own. It can get deep and heavy with the frequency down low too.
For me though the highlight of this pedal so far is the note clarity when playing chords or double stops. It is just simply not muddy. I can hear each individual note. It was pretty trippy at first but I love it.
So glad I got mine. It was my dream dirt pedal from almost day one and I am not disappointed.
Since I can't see the ad I want to say I hope it is a fair price and goes to somebody who will love and play the pedal like it deserves.
Oh yeah. Picture for fun

....I need a new, bigger table. This test has shown me 4 rows is too many rows for comfort. Maybe time to make a "real" board?
With prices these days I don't even know anymore. It is more than I paid. Makes me feel good about that at least.
I changed my region on reverb. Super easy. Might end up being a bad thing for my wallet though.... Maybe I should just change it back
Change it back for reduced competition’s sake
I decided to lockdown an “Ether only” board and sit on it for awhile. Taking suggestions on signal chain flow. Planning on going in the FMeron first and across the bottom row (with the Xerograph in the Divaricator hi loop) and then across the top row, left to right. Suggestions welcome.

I do Subt into FMeron personally, the FMeron's upper octave setting receiving the Subt's signal is pretty cool and I'm sure with the Dubt it will sounds just as great.. the rest of you plan is basically how I'd do it. You could always play around and swap places between the Polytope and Arcing Prisms and also between the QF2 and Oxide to experiment.
Hello Folks,
i have a IE Franta Bit mkI.
The PSU it needs is center negative, right ?
( i ask, since i just used "that" PSU on another old stomp ( which needs center neg), and that other stump has a serious problem, or: i just killed it yesterday)
