Hey all, I've been out of the IE world for a few years. In the distant past when I wasn't really familiar with a lot of fx, I had an XD and an Oxide among other IE pedals. Sold them of course. Recently got the GAS again. I now once again have an XD :woot:.

I'd like another Oxide, but it's not on the site any more, is it discontinued? What's the model for production and sales these days? Hopefully not as dream-crushing as the Broughton world...
I did the same… got an early Oxide, loved it. I think I did the first demo for Taylor with it. Then stupidly sold it (it’s what I do), anyway a few years ago, I got an unsolicited offer to sell one to me and I snagged it… say hello.

And you want to sell it to me??? Unsolicited?? No, I couldn’t!

Well, ok, I accept.

I would like to imagine a Xerograph (possibly bigger enclosure) that also has a High-Pass filter. Then ideally, you could engage Low-Pass or High pass alone and together they become Band-pass. Might be pushing the limits here, but I'd love to have all those options on my board in pedal form, controlled by an expression pedal.

Think the only way to do this currently would be to get some Euro rack modules (like John Davis) and mount them on the board somehow.
 
If you set the XD to sweep up doesn't frequency knob effectively act as a HPF? Sure it's technically not creating a slope attenuation of frequencies and instead a hard cutoff point because it sets where the filter sweep begins, but it is allowing you to define the band of sweepable frequencies. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are going for with a band-pass.
