Playing around with my Arcing prisms today, and there seems to be a lot of hiss when I switch it on..

@Taylor Livingston any eta on more xerograph deluxes? Will it be after the new dubadoobdub pedal?

Should be in the next few days.

Is there less hiss when you turn Feedback down all the way or roll off treble on your bass? Like any delay, any noise in your signal will build up with feedback, and upward frequency shifting can accentuate it even more.

The feedback control has no effect...the shift control seems to lessen it somewhat, but not a great deal.

Rolling the treble off on the bass has no effect.

I have an Fmeron, and that is dead silent when turned on, and as far as other delays go, I have an echolution and that is dead quiet as well...

Tried a bunch of other things, different cables, switching the power supply, etc. and also ran the pedal on it's own. None of that helped...
 
I'd be happy to help troubleshoot by email - I'm at info at ironether.com.

There have been a bunch of nice IE pedals hitting Reverb and the classifieds here.

Saw an Oxide (First in a while), and a Subterranea, as well as a few custom finish Nimbus's earlier this morning.

I took a little too long thinking on the Oxide, and both it and the SubT got snagged moments after I saw them.
 
Yeah I was way late and way bummed about the Oxide. The SubT yesterday was an unusual blue color, real nice. I PMd the seller with an offer for a little less because of the Dubterranea release and I already have a Subterranea. I told him it wasn’t about getting a “deal” and he was super cool.
I’m realy hooked on that pedal, multiple voices but still modular. Just a great concept. Plus I bought a couple cheap synthy things for me a my boys to make noise with. My existing SubT is staying on the board when I get the Dub. You know I think it’s octave is, arguably as good or better than any and extremely flexible.
I have been trying to find an +1 octave that I can really dig but it hasn’t clicked yet. The FoxRox Octron 3 is pretty cool cranked thu a Xenograph, sounds like a distorted Rhodes up on the neck, seriously cops it but I want Chic Correa lead sounds and it’s Geranium up is too fuzzy for the faux 8 string thing. The the +1 on the Dubterranea will decide that pedals fate! I generally play fretless bass with the synth board. You can do Glide and Mod Wheel like that pretty convincingly. Waiting and watching.
 
The SubT and Nimbus SE in the classifieds are mine. The SubT sold on reverb.com really quick, but the Nimbus SE is still up for grabs. I'm bummed to let it go, since I bought the Nimbus & XD custom with 'same but opposite' paint jobs. But I am trying to really thin things out and narrow down to a regular and small board. In this scenario, a stand-alone reverb pedal won't make the cut...
