Quatschmacher Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 Someone selling an FMeron on TB. Says USA only but sometimes people can be persuaded otherwise once shown that it makes no practical difference to ship to the UK. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/iron-ether-fmeron.1316215/ @CameronJ, @Al Krow, @tonyxtiger, @GisserD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Also you can use shipito.com to forward any parcel from the US. I've done this when buying from TB'ers or sellers that don't ship to the UK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 That's a really helpful shout - cheers DB I would for sure be tempted by this pedal (in 2018 ), as I liked it when you first plugged it DB at the start of this thread. But this guy is not exactly making it attractive pricing it at $220 when a brand new one can be had for $235 and without needing to persuade someone about shipping to the UK / sorting out via shipito.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Krow Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 @Quatschmacher which bass synth pedals have you now got / tried out and which are your top choices? (And why?!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GisserD Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Im disappointed to inform you that I also cancelled my mothership order. After being told it wasn' going to arive until after Christmas. Thats the last straw. I could better use the cash right now. I'l probably still buy one early next year when they are actually available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 And I see the prices have gone up on them as well by 6% in the past couple of weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And why?!) I’m actually still only at the beginning of the journey. The only one I own is the Subterranea. I had the Future Impact on loan for a couple of weeks. I think I already mentioned that I loved the sounds but found it didn’t really feel right in terms of responsiveness to playing; some settings yielded a sluggish feel or incorrect pitches triggering. I must say, I’m tempted by the Boss SY-300 that’s listed here after checking out some videos. It’s a lot of cash if I find I don’t like it though. It’s definitely one I’d like to rent.

Quatschmacher Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 (edited) Also, Broughton Audio has a new octave/synth pedal, though it doesn’t look as good feature-wise as his discontinued Broughctave. http://broughtonaudio.bigcartel.com/ Edited December 24, 2017 by Quatschmacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe then I'd actually get round to saving for one. This is what I get for reading and walking. I totally missed this post and came across the very same product by chance yesterday. Looks absolutely amazing! Browsing this site, it appears a basschatter sold one last year. Hopefully we can find out who has it now and ask very nicely if we might get to try it. If it does what it says it does then I’m totally getting one. Edited January 6, 2018 by Quatschmacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quatschmacher Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 I’m reviving this thread in light of recent discoveries. Anyone heard the Red Witch Synthotron? Also, the SonicSmith Convertor and Squaver are worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the SonicSmith Convertor and Squaver are worth a look. I love the idea of the Sonic Smith stuff but it’s not cheap and the Squaver gets absolutely destroyed over on Talkbass....I’m not prepared to risk wasting that much money. The Red Witch Zeus (which I see you’re looking for) was, IMO, ok but nothing special but the synthotron looks interesting (have you got one?).

After checking out that video it seems quite similar to the Sonicsmith implementation (though the SS stuff has more control over the input tracking now after a round of improvements).
