Welcome Taylor!


Just wanted you to know that I am filled with LUST for a Polytope. And I love the Oxide I have on a long loan from Behndy. Amazing how versatile it is. Can't wait to hear more from you and check out the small run exclusives with extra sauce you should offer on ILF... :omg: We usually say our thanks by hyping the goddamnedest out of our builders.

Welcome! Love the look of all your pedals, I'm pretty excited to try the Oxide in behndy's tourbox if that ever gets going, and the xero my buddy just got (he frickin loves it). You'll definitely be getting my business in the future! :thumb:

Welcome, matey! I don't have my Xerograph Deluxe any more, but the FrantaBit is unbelievably musical and useful. It's another pedal I cannot find the will to take off my board to make sure the other pedals I have get their turn. I hope you enjoy your stay here!

No plans right now for RS clones, or really any clones, but as I am a huge ring modulator fan, it's definitely not inconceivable to think we'll have an original design which can do all kinds of over-the-top ring modulation with unique features and gnarly sounds. The Ring Stinger is an amazing unit, but believe it or not, even with all of its controls, it always felt a little limited to me, since it could never do a clean ring mod sound. It would be pretty interesting to do something that could be as fat and grimy as a diode ring mod, but with the flexibility to get clean and bell-like (plus with the usual IE touch of controls you don't see in other ring mods...).

Cool! That is a great amp. I even used to use the spring reverb on it with bass (just have to connect a spring tank to the RCA jacks, which IIRC are located behind the tubes on the right). It's not as versatile as a dedicated reverb pedal, or even an outboard spring unit, but it can be a lot of fun, particularly if you have a musical situation that can give the bass a little room to breathe.

Taylor!

Probably not the most appropriate place to ask but does the standard xero now have a clean blend knob on it like the deluxe?

The standard Xero just has Frequency, Resonance, and Volume knobs, a 2/4-pole switch and expression jack. So only the Deluxe has the clean blend. You can disable the envelope following completely on the Deluxe, by turning Sensitivity down. So if you wanted to just use it as a static lowpass, or with the expression pedal, you can do that.
