Hmm, right now it pretty much looks like all the IE pedals (minus the QF2 Gold, since I use the Copper version), plus some experimental stuff that I can't let out of the bag yet. With the experimental stuff removed, the chain goes

QF2 Copper-Oxide-FrantaBit 1-Polytope-Xerograph Deluxe-Nimbus-FrantaBit 2-Nimbus

...and I plug into a 2x20 watt amp I designed, which I will post a picture of soon, since it's not ever going to be a commercial thing.

At some point I will post a picture in the PYPB thread if the mods say it's OK - not sure if it would seem like spamming since it's all IE pedals.
 
Haveing my polytope and nimbus for a week now, and i absolutely love it. I didn"t thought i"ll need a reverb or chorus since i have those functions on my pitchfactor, but the IE do this way better. So thanks talkbass for giving me the GAS ;) and Taylor and IE for building such great pedals.

I didn"t had a chance to try it with my band yet, but i dont think there will be any problems, haveing a clean blend and high pass filter.

I record few sounds out of my board, using the polytope and nimbus (and later on also pitchfactor). I bet you guys will recognize the song, it came out a little cheesy, i know :hiding:

Thanks guys.
Indeed, its Adele – Someone Like You. Its not really my cup of tea, but it is my wife favorite album. So playing such tunes, and I might get a permission to buy more pedals.:D
Still need to work a little more on timing, dynamic and phrasing, and maybe to take off the track the Pitchfactor's crystals, but anyway its only ment to be sound samples.
 
Nice demo, tom_ric! I'm not a huge fan of that song, but you and IE's creations did it some serious justice!

I've been using my Polytope for a few weeks now, and it gets A LOT of play time. I use if for everything from chorus sounds on cheesy 80's covers ($) to straight up reese bass, when used with an octaver and Oxide. Once again, the versatility is crazy. The thing that I really love, though, is that it just sounds so good (not such a big surprise). This is my 5th IE pedal and that is the constant theme of them all.

Well ... I just came to see what's up with this IE polytope everyone seems to love as I'm looking for a chorus ...

Now I need it ... and the xerograph deluxe ... such as the oxide ...

Where's all my analog mojo gone ?

These pedals looks awesome, looks like my board gonna turn a bit digital !
