All jokes and scalping aside, I love IE pedals. You should set them loud. Highly recommend.

@scubaduba beat me to my post. I do not want this thread to be closed. I want Taylor to be successful. I want to continue to purchase and discuss EI pedals. I will never pay slightly more than retail for an EI pedal All of my other thoughts about the current topic have been deleted.

EI is completely off my radar. Must be some proper next level unobtanium!

FYI FMeron available to pre-order on the IE website!

aaand my paypal account just got thinner

Would a FMeron be for a synth bass sound or is that the Xenograph?

FMeron will give you an FM synth sound, kind of like a DX7. The Xerograph is a filter and doesn't generate tones (unless it's self oscillating).

FMeron preordered. Looking forward to being notified that preorders are up for the Arcing Prisms, whenever that might happen.

 

[JeffTCS]

I just want a polytope

 

[ModuMan]

This is like a breath of fresh air. I'll be looking forward to... all the ones I don't have yet!

Depends on the definition of synth. It has up and down octave capabilities, you can get really deep swells from the two mods, modulation from fine tuning and even a percussive sound with the attack around noon. I think I read the envelope used to trigger the one mod is the same from the XD, but used in a different way.

I will say this, I jumped on the 1st batch of the current FMeron not really knowing what it did, after having that, my XD and subT, the FMeron is still my favorite IE pedal, and honestly as crazy as it can get, it has been the easiest to work with in general. Octaves and envelopes have there quirks and needed adjustments, the FMeron works on every setting, no glitchyness, on all of my basses, passive and active.

So, NO, not synth in the sense like a octave + fuzz or filter, but definitely a synthesized signal. I personally use it as an octave up pedal, but with extras. It sounds really good going back into a typical octave down pedal, and then into fuzz.

It would be the last IE pedal I'd sell.

Looks like the preorder is already over.

 

[JeffTCS]

Yeah, I went to get one, then talked myself out of it, then talked myself back into it and they were gone... making decisions is the thing I am least good at. Things like this happen quite frequently haha.

Thank goodness it’s over I was doing the same thing… I am now at peace

Hey Folks, I know this is a long shot, but looking to buy a Dubterranea. I had one and stupidly sold it. If anyone has one they would consider parting with, hit me up! There is a distinct lack of Iron Ether on my board at the moment, and I am hoping to rectify that!

I've got a rack of pedals these days, but my current favorite *get super vibey at night while your space lettuce is piloting the ship* combo is: Iron Ether Polytope into Subdecay Super Spring Theory.

It's an older Polytope, no exp ctrl etc. But it goes all wet, has the HPF, and can do a lo-fi-ish dreamy slow warble....which into a distant, hauntingly chilled long spring reverb, sounds just otherworldly.

In particular, the HPF on the 'tope when using 0% clean, only modulated signal, has the ability to put a bass's otherwise rather overbearing low range (when drenched in reverb) out to a far distance, sounding like someone acoustically jamming onstage in an auditorium when you're off in the wings, spectating.

I want a Polytope so bad. I am trying to not buy really buy pedals this year except maybe one or two. Went a little overboard last year. Polytope in on my list to buy no matter what if it is available. It wasn't easy passing on the Omnicomp but I would not be able to resist the Polytope.

 

[Lebowsky]

If you want an idea of the Arcing Prisms tone but you're willing to look at different options, the Pladask Feber can be very similar. And in staying true to the current pedal economics, that's another builder who's work gets scalped on the Verb..

I love Pladask. I was lucky enough to get a Baklengswhen the last batch went up for sale. I immediately clicked with the pedal.
The Feber is too wide for my already crammed board unfortunately. Only an Arcing Prisms can fit

Pladask Feber just got put up on his website, still available if some here are interested... I changed my mind and ordered it. hopefully some advanced tetris will make it fit on my board.

I’m thinking about selling my Dubterrograph. If you’re interested, PM me for an application.

@Matt Dean you're just not an octave guy, are you?
