Weird, it turned out to be a power supply issue. I was powering the subT with a one spot. I got the distortion when the subT was the only pedal on the one spot. As soon as I added any other pedals to the one spot, it sounded great and tracked fine, even if the other pedals were not in the signal path.
Anyway, subT is fine and sounds amazing.

That's...weird? It's usually pedals act up when they're on a daisy chain, not that daisy-chaining fixes the problem. Did Taylor have an explanation for that?
No, I haven't heard back after I sent him my discovery. Yes, it's totally backwards, in fact the whole reason I tested it as the only pedal on the power supply was to avoid problems like this.
I'm moving to a pp2+ Soon, so hopefully it won't be an issue. I suspect the problem is in the one spot,bulimia (but I'm) not sure.

I actually have one pedal where the engraving went completely nuts, the text fades from normal on the right to somewhat mutated on the left and the IE logo is quite twisted and cuts straight through the enclosure. I like the idea of taking unexpected accidents and celebrating them. Maybe we shouldn't always hide our mutants under the stairs.
Here's what I was talking about, for anybody interested. I felt that it worked especially well for the FrantaBit, since "malfunctioning machines" is a good way to describe what the pedal sounds like.
What a beautiful monster! That really does look sick
(in the best way possible)
There were a few really useful posts with settings suggestions in here but I can't find them buried in the 1,000+ other posts... and now that we've all had ample time with the pedal I'm wondering if folks have anything to add to the attempted settings thread from two years ago: Subterranea settings | TalkBass.com
I'm just curious to see how y'all are using this beast.

Both synth voices off, octave at about 10:30, filter at noon, dry at noon for just a good octave tone.
Digging this thread up again for a question that has been on my mind for a while. I love the Subterranea, but is it my ears or is the filter control for the clean sub octave not really doing much in the first half?
this is my experience also. up until about 12 o'clock there is not a lot of noticeable change and then it has a huge impact on the sub tone after then.
Nope, not just you. I experienced similar results with the filter control.Cool. So it's not just me. Just checking.
Okay. As mentioned. This doesn't really negatively influence my opinion about the pedal. It singlehandedly replaced my OC-2 because it works great as a clean octave and does so many other whacky things.
I checked on IE site and the Subterranea isn't listed anymore. It looks like you're right :-(
May be you could email Taylor and ask him about it.
Fingers crossed for an updated version! Ive had bad GAS for one of these. P.S. if anyones looking to unload theirs, i got some funds set aside
Just bumping this up in case anyone has heard of a SubT revival...
I’m actually more interested in the Octo Synth side of it. Anything out there that gets close?
