Iron Ether FrantaBit

[tigerbass]

Got it yesterday!!! Only got to play with her a short while but I am loving her already!!!
I have been after a killer tonez/soundz/noise machine for some time now and this is looking like it's it!
And I believe I've already made quite the discovery...details coming soon!

I'm thinking this pedal may be what I am looking for to complete my pedal board. Heard a few clips on Youtube that made me curious. Seems like a lot of usable effects and also some " noise " settings. Having this and the PitchFactor will ensure many hours of annoying neighbors with crazy sounds!!

Still waiting for IE to make that synth/square-wave thing on the Xero-clips on the IE-homepage

I'm still really liking some of the stuff that readily spills out of the Frantabit.
Glorious noise

So, if you chained the FrantaBit with a Subdecay Noise Box, would the result even be remotely something someone might call musical?

 

[behndy]

wellllll.... depends how you define musical.

Noise Box takes in and comes out pure NOISE BOX, notes affect the output, but it's an awesome swirly filtery sploopy mess. in a good way.

Franta's a bit more reflective of what you're putting into it.

I received my FB yesterday...it's the single coolest pedal I've acquired in a long time. Yeah, it's great for random noise and abstract sounds...but it's highly musical if you spend a little bit of time with it. With a straight bass signal into it I was able to achieve some rad pitchbend and octave stuff with a great ambiance just underneath...kind of a chamber reverb. With my B assmaster into it, fu*k it. Forget about it. This thing is tops. Add to that the tremolo you can do with it, and who knows what else...(I've only played with it for about an hour). The FrantaBit will definitely be a big part of my sound shaping explorations to come. Bravo, Taylor.

Thanks, godblender, glad you're enjoying the FB! Looking forward to hearing the sounds everybody is creating with theirs.

i've been playin wiff behn's for a few days now..it is SOMETHING ELSE. Taylor is a friggin CHAMP at innovating pedals, perfecting each effect style! what WILL he do next?!

NB obliterates the signal, so I would run them in parallel via an LS-2 or somesuch.

So this video was posted yesterday......if you're not yet sold on the frantabit then prepare for GAS.

Note: this has some regular old guitar playing in it (not bass).

That could be the best pedal demo video I have seen on YouTube. Excellent job.

Love my Frantabit.

one man's noise is another man's symphony

Giving the Frantabit it's first live audition tonight. I hooked up my EB Volume Jr as an expression pedal to control the sample rate whilst leaving the b1Tz around 8. Going to run my POG2 through it and it may very well quell my need for syNtHZ.

Hi,
I have a Frantabit waiting for me at the post office, bought to experiment and have fun with it without any kind of real sounds or goals in my head. I just figured everything Taylor does is awesome, this must be awesome too!

So I was wondering how you guys are using it? What kind of music / setting /chain tickles your frantabit fancy.

I've seen them on a few boards here and I know you guys rock and looking forward to hearing from you (yes, soudclips would be great!!)
