Holy **** even the feds know about this. I'm getting one. No really I'm anxiously awaiting clips too.

Just got home from a 16 hour hospital shift and just caught this...LOL, well played :D

Audio clips sound real good...I've gotta figure on selling some things so I can grab the Sub as well as the Xero DLX...to get the full Iron Ether synth pedal deliciousness :ninja:

by the way, i got some crazy stuff out of your polytope yesterday: three note jangly chords on a high-strung 6-string. chord of eb-b-c. as the chord degraded, it sounded like the notes *were bending*. i asked people in the small audience if they hear it that way and they had.

crazy cool ;-)

Just ordered mine!!! Now my problem is figuring out how to fit it on the board...

That's also my second board lol. I've been thinking about blending my two boards together so I can use my IE pedals more. That or doing what Jean said and getting a second expressinator( hate moving pedals from board to board) and a second expression pedal.

The Subterranea is really forcing this issue...

I haven't bought a pedal in over three months, and haven't used a octave pedal on my board in a six. Yet as soon as I saw this come out I HAD to have it.

All of Taylor's pedals are like crack, sweet sweet crack.

I'd vote red.

Then again, as cool as the blue ones are, all of my IE pedals have painter's tape over the LEDs. Otherwise they are so bright that I have trouble making knob adjustments (especially on the Polytope) in low lighting which means pretty much every gig.

That's useful feedback. I know some of the really early pedals had crazy bright LEDs but if it's a problem on the Polytope I suppose we need to tone it down a bit!

Tough call re: LED color. Blue would match the others, but red provides continuity back to the venerable OC-2. Blue. (after almost no thought at all, picked randomly)

As for LED brightness, it seems that pedals that are too bright on a dark stage are just right on a sunny festival stage, and pedals that are fine on a dark stage are invisible on a sunny stage. So I'm for brighter LEDs since you can mitigate them with tape, but there's no way to make a dim LED brighter for a sunny stage.

Along those same lines, my Polytope (and the Subterranea from the photos) have the knobs with little notches that are grey/uncolored unlike my Xero which has the black lines. This adds to the difficulty, for me at least.

Small nits to pick, but honestly I don't have any other criticisms of the IE pedals.
