You know, I got to give kudos to the folks at Iron Ether. Despite Taylor's recent illness, they have managed to stay in communication with their customers and deliver on orders. Nice job guys. My continued well wished to Taylor.
Hi,
I'm looking at the SubT on IE's page (Invalid Link Removed) and I see out of stock at the bottom there. What I don't see is a order when we have time to make a few more button. How did you guys place orders?
Edit:
Nevermind, I'm an idiot... the home page has this on it:
We are in the process of filling all current orders and will begin taking new orders again shortly. Please check back soon for updates and new products.
Thanks,
IE

Hey all, I've been having a problem with my SubT - both synth sides are fine but the octave sporadically makes excess noise, like electric chatter, whether or not I'm playing. It kept doing it after I muted the signal from my bass, both on my board and on its own, and in two different buildings. Cables seem fine.
Anyone else experience this or have suggestions before I ship it back to CO?

Those almost sound like the same issues a lot of us were having before the update to the sub t. Contact Taylor, maybe something came loose. He'll take care of you.
damn, my november 8th order is going to take some more time.. just re-read the whole thread, I so can't wait!!
Thanks!
I just like the few-buttonness of the xerograph better than the many-buttonness of the deluxe.
Thanks!

Simplicity is nice but IMHO with filters you want the wider range of options and flexibility that come with more knobs.
Does anyone here have experience to speak of with the xerograph?
Not the Deluxe, just the simpler one.
I am quite tempted by what I've seen of it.
The biggest difference between the Xerograph and Xerograph deluxe is that the non-deluxe version lacks envelope control meaning it doesn't have any way to respond to the dynamics of your playing.
It only works as either a static lowpass filter or as a manually swept low pass filter using an expression pedal.
You can use the Xerograph deluxe exactly like the non-deluxe by simply having the envelope up/down switch set to up, the resonance knob and clean volume knobs turned off and the filter volume set to unity.
I can understand the desire for simplicity if you only ever use the Xero for expression control, but I think the added versatility of the deluxe version is huge.
So my noise issue MIGHT have just been a matter of improper powering... Taylor suggested having at least 50 mAh on top for the SubT (and 100 for the Xero DLX) which I hadn't realized I was missing. So far no noise!
I have the 3 knob Xerograph and actually prefer it, because, I didn't like the way the envelope sounds and ended up using another envelope filter for my envelope needs. I play a fair bit of reggae and love how the 3 knob xero sounds as a low pass filter. I also use it a bit for filter sweeps with an expression pedal, so for these reasons it stays on my board.
I have to admit...you and SoonerMatt are making some very good points in favour of the dlx version!
Thanks!
