I missed the drop; one came up here, the seller is only 60 miles away. I am more of an analogue aficionado and if i can make a swap of sorts, it suits me better- that was my mindset. I cannot cost justify owning two of these.
One of these days.... If it was one week from now I would have the funds, its a 3 paycheque month for me. Probably for the best, well for my bank account at least.
Stings less knowing in the future Iron Ether will be better stocked.
Still super happy with my recently acquired Nimbus though so I am still super happy pedal wise. That thing is even better than I anticipated. Such a good reverb. My Ventris is so good I wasn't expecting the Nimbus to be so much preferred but the Nimbus has some magic for sure. I shouldn't be surprised. Iron Ether is my favourite of every version of effect I have. My Broughton dirts are the only real competition but then I turn on my Oxide and remember why I love it so so much.

And they're shipping in 3 months? It was 5 months two months ago when I ordered mine!
Wait a minute...
But it was worth the wait. Got mine recently and I am really satisfied despite I only scratched the surface of what is possible.
@Mr_BK Agreed; I waited 5 months for mine, and it was well worth it! The Subterranea is the primary core of any synth creation I do, but the FMeron offers a wonderful contrast. I've got it (just about) nailing a Minimoog-type sound, which is mostly how I use it, but it offers a lovely range of other sounds and textures. Some more suited to lead/melodic parts, but plenty more that hold down the low end in very cool ways.
Just a note for anybody getting one; play *very* cleanly with this pedal (tracking can be finicky otherwise), and ideally roll off as much treble content as you can from the signal feeding it. Robust overtones are another cause for it to track less than perfectly.

I’ve seen and used some of your settings, thank you. Have you shared your “MiniMoog” type settings?
Ah, wicked! That's super cool
Could have sworn I'd shared those settings previously, but I can't find that anywhere. So...
And here's some sonic evidence of how those settings sound!
Thanks @sloppy_phil , you’ve indeed shared this one! Awesome video.
Man I'd really kill for a solo SubT drop. I really do prefer that modularity of having individual sized effects that you chain together. I guess I'm in the minority on that one, but I love building my synth sounds from the ground up, rather than having a 1 big pedal 'synth pedal'
I'll trade you my 2013 Civic for a Cygnet (almost kidding).
In all seriousness, I'd love a Cygnet, but I'm currently having the MusicPCB Tap Tempo Tremolo built, which is essentially the same thing.

It's the exact same circuit board, MusicPCB was my other business (finally retired it in November).
