Iron Ether Subterranea

Man, prices on these have gone up. Supply and demand sucks.
All the pedals went up a good 10% on iron ether and still selling out in minutes. I think he could give them another bump and it would still be good.

Balancing act really... I'd love for everyone to have a chance to play around with these awesome boxes, and I know many people who would never pay more than 250 for an effect!

Yeah, I noticed they have gone up on IE too. I was actually referring to the used prices. Oxides were going for about $130 at the beginning of 2014 (I know, I almost got one). I get the fundamental reality of it, it's just unfortunate.

It's amazing how his sales practises have created a separate pedal economy. I have a Xero, bought second hand, a SubT, and Nimbus on the way, also preowned, and an Oxide that I lucked out on from the website. People order whatever they can get their hands on, knowing they can get their money back if it's not for them.
 
Precisely. I doubt that I'll have a permanent place for this Franta on my board but it will be a fantastic brush to paint and experiment with. And when I decide to sell it I'm comfortable with the resale value.

I've owned a Franta 5-6 times. LOL! It's a great pedal!!! Find a use sir!!

What I want to know is why the QF2's aren't selling. Some damn bass demos would be nice. Grumble. :)

Oh! The dude who makes'em (not taylor) answered this a few weeks back either in this thread or the ie appreciation thread. In a nutshell, he keeps up with demand and they do sell.

Good bass demos would be nice, i find them scrary.. To many buttons.

Yeah, I made the same QF2 comment and the guy chimed in :)

Still want to try a QF2 one day... I actually would get one if I was not so space-constrained right now.
 
Just gotr this through the post, loving the quality and finish....can't wait to try it out later.
