Iron Ether Appreciation Society

#961
Head up! Brand new Frantabit in classifieds right now.

I got my Frantabit in just yesterday but I have my 3 kids with me. Early days with an new Iron Ether requires attention.
I’ll just be looking to get a few unique sounds to add to the synthy repertoire. Tones to put thu the XD and use in a musical context. Not “landscape” or outer-space stuff. Given the nature of this effect and Taylor’s predilection for wildly interactive, wide ranging controls I might need some help to achieve that end but my expectations are reasonable and I am prepared to put in the time to do so.
Any thoughts would be appreciated:
I would like to implement this Frantabit to achieve musical sounds, in conjunction with other effects as needed, that can only be realized by having the Franta in the mix!

Here’s the Frantabit in the mix! Kinda ended up with a Monochrome looking pedalboard, not intentional but cool. A number of replacements for pedals in the works: Polytope for Mod, Dubterranea for octave/synth voices, different comp and a Shift Line pre! Still want another Subterranea BTW!

A lot of pedal manufacturers are doing that right now. I've been donating a little here and a little there because they are all for great causes. And hey.. I might get a pedal out of it.

Thx Carl, Thx Taylor
There should be no doubt about it; One of the lowest ebbs of human nature persists. Nurtured by advantage and the fear of its loss. Institutionalized because the very formation of establishments we rely on today and whom so many serve honorably and at great risk to themselves, were predicated on the control and exploitation of other humans. Perpetuated by ignorance and the deliberate division of people lest they realize they share, even when in general disagreement, the common and simple want for just three of the Inalienable Rights, the promise of The Declaration of Independence. The Pandemic has already laid bare a Cost-Benefit Analysis mentally and that those the least able will bear the cost portion of any such calculation. So I suppose it persists because we allow it to as is evidenced by this latest tip of the iceberg moment.
I haven’t done nearly enough. Thx for the wake up call.

I’ve discovered a couple of cool sounds possible with an octave, the Frantabit and the Xenograph. The clone pedal between them won’t work unfortunately, it needs a blend or better yet the high pass filter treatment. But anyway I’m getting a very controllable and extremely fast kinda synthy sound. It’s the almost complete lack of artifacts that is interesting and can be riffed heavily.

@Taylor Livingston ?


Looks like it's good to go through today, since it's the 10th.


To help support those who are putting themselves in danger for what matters, I will be giving away 2 Iron Ether pedals with custom finishes, to benefit the Combined Bail Fund. To enter to win, make a donation at the link below and send me your receipt. Every $10 you donate is one entry, so please donate as much as you're able to.

Winners can choose any current-production pedal that I make, with their choice of color scheme (or I can come up with something special for you). Winners will be announced Wednesday, June 10.

https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bail_funds_george_floyd…

Details: To enter, please send a screenshot of your donation receipt by email to [email protected] with the subject "Donation". Receipts should be dated between now and June 10. A random number generator will be used to select the winners.

I take it the results will be announced here?
Thank you to Taylor for donating the pedals!
Custom finishes, wow that’d be cool. How many of you would just say “surprise me”?

I never plan on winning. I generally have really bad luck with any fundraiser/contest/lottery/raffle, so I doubt that will stop here. ;) I always joke that I'm saving up my winning/luck/karma for a really big pay-off someday!

Also, since IE will have your email address, I'm sure they'll probably email something, but I'll be keeping an eye out on the FB (I already have IE listed as 'see first') so if it doesn't hit here right off, I'll share.

Oh of course, I’d forgotten about email. Thank you. Yeah I check that less these days, not much going on yet and I don't do Facebook.
I’m not planning on winning.
Almost everything is actually random. Just wondering if given the choice would I relinquish all control

Since it is a great cause, winning would be just a bonus!

Not too late! The winners will be selected randomly at 6pm Pacific time, which is 4.5 hours from now as I write this. Thank you guys so much for donating. I don't post announcements here because of the commercial user policy, but winners will be notified by email and I guess I will announce them on FB and Instagram as well (I wasn't sure if winners want their names to be announced publicly, but at the same time I think they need to be for transparency's sake.)
