elephantgrey Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Has anyone heard from them recently? I know that there was some troubles, and that they lost a few people so where struggling to catch up to orders (and posibly just before releasing new/updated pedals?). Does anyone know the state of there backlog? They must have been not taking orders for about 6 months now. I am starting to worner if they are just swamped with backorders, or if they are actualy going to start taking them again? Any news would be greatly apreciated. I've been sitting on the money for a Frantabit since just after they stopped taking orders and still am really GASing for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I think they might be just starting up again. Taylor has been posting at Talkbass and I'm sure I saw a couple of people mention their put orders in recently. Best off trying to email him or ask around on TB.

Kev Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Not sure what is happening with their business model. I think all of the dealers they had dropped them, I believe due to a costing issue, and following this a new potential flagship pedal was released with a quite obvious flaw. A bit odd, but hope they get things sorted as they are cracking pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I thought they only ever sold direct? Anyway, here's the thread for you: http://www.talkbass.com/threads/iron-ether-status.1070657/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyboo Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1399314707' post='2443068'] Not sure what is happening with their business model. [/quote] As far as I could read the main reason for not taking orders is that he had some health issues exactly at the time when he released Subterranea. So his order backlog has grown up.

elephantgrey Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 I also believe he lost a few workers about the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, here's the thread for you: http://www.talkbass.com/threads/iron-ether-status.1070657/ [/quote] No UK dealers, but several us ones, including prymaxevintage.com. Bought all mine from them bar the sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Ordered myself a Frantabit today. I love my Bugcrusher but I'm always turning the chicken head knob with my toe, it would make much more sense to have a pedal with an expression pedal jack...
