I'm also learning that the Dub side needs to be played with finesse and states as much in the manual.

I really like using an expression pedal with XD to get more modern sounds. 10/10 recommend. Set a good range and gtg.
I have two Xeros on my board... an old school three knob Xero for filter sweeps and a Xero D for enveloping.
you have some really cool looking stuff I will have to look up!
Polytope on Reverb from the same seller. The Nimbus is gone.
Edit: I bought the Polytope. I’ve decided to give it another try.

If you’re talking about the red/black nimbus se, I think that listing was from nearly two weeks ago and sold then. There is a nice oxide on there now though.
Just got a Nimbus SE in (thanks to a fellow TB’r). I had been searching for the right reverb pedal, for my personal taste, for a while and wow does this thing deliver. I went through multiple pedals, some exceeding expectation and some falling flat. With reverb and bass I tend to tread in the realm of more ambient playing of texture and pad work in unison with other pedals and sparingly for light use with solo passages in recording. I don’t use it that often, if at all, in jam settings but at home just trying to to be creative I tend to use it the most. Not sure how you would describe the Nimbus’ reverb, maybe subtle to overly-large hall? I didn’t get the “cavern” style vibe and its not metallic like some. Little more airy then others but a lot more deep and present in the mix (without trying to sound like I’m cork sniffing). Also I never thought the EXP function was something I’d use from previously reading about it but its probably the biggest game changer of this pedal and has so many creative avenues of use. While I guess the pedal could be seen as more of a barebones reverb and is not something with either multiple algorithms or unique modulations attached to it, it very much excels (from my brief experience with it so far) in pairing it with other pedals in your chain and doesn’t fight for space in the mix with modulation.
That’s all, just wanted to share my initial review/experience in case anyone was interested in this pedal.
Also here’s a shot of my IE pedals because Taylor’s aesthetics in pedals is top tier.

The Nimbus SE was my first IE, it's got some company now. They all sound great and look good!
Why Polytope up front? Doesn’t it screw up the tracking on the DubT? I would think in the loop of the DubT would be a great place.
Finishing up my IE-heavy board. Can't wait to start gigging again, maybe this summer?
I'm still tweaking the Divaricator, but the more I learn and experiment, the more I realize how much it improves my tone.
Chain is Tuner > Keeley Bassist > SubT > Divaricator > (Loop send) > Oxide > Xero > Cascade Bass Chorus > (Loop return) > Le Bass (Loop send) > EQD Hummingbird > (Loop Return) > Out

I haven't used the Dubt after the polytope, and I haven't tried the Polytope after the Dubt either......but maybe worth a test run?
Try it in the DubT’s loop to slightly detune the synth voices. Should make for a nice thicker sound.
We need a Polydubterrograph. Or a Dubtopeograph. Pretty sure the enclosure will be large enough to fit any name it gets.
Don’t hate the player hate the game..also not mineDubT on reverb but marked up $70
There is some ridiculous pricing going on at Reverb.
