probably not. it's been awhile since IE released a new ped and it IS ****ing awesome looking, so it's understandable that he's swamped with orders from jump. but history has shown that he'll get caught up pretty quick and have way faster fill times in a bit.
I ordered day one. Still waiting for a shipment notice.
Just got a Xero deluxe - can't wait to pair it with the sub t!

lulz. did you... did you just give yourself a nickname? BOSS.
Hahaha...
Yeah, and I referred to myself as my self-appointed nickname in the 3rd person...
Definitely time for a new pedal when that starts happenin'
Maybe I just don't get it at all, but from listening to the sound clips on IE's product page I predict there will be a few of these hitting the Classifieds ... or can someone please enlighten me what you would use this pedal for? Maybe it needs to be combined with other effects?
It's for creating synth sounds, and yes, I think it will shine when combined with other pedals. The Subt can be the starting point in the chain - like the oscillators on a real synth.
Up til now, people have used an analog octave pedal, which produces a square wave modulated with your bass's signal, or a fuzz, which produces a distorted signal with lots of harmonics, as the starting point. The Subt will give more options of waveforms, tones and octaves.
Or you could look at it as a more flexible analog octave pedal - it does a similar thing to a Boss OC2, although without the 2nd octave down, but with an added filter control.
But with the OC2, you often need to play an octave higher than the synth tone it produces. The Subt also produces waveforms at the octave you are playing at.

Thanks for the explanation, I'll keep my eyes and ears open for coming sound clips once it hits the pedalboards.
