Iron Ether FMeron | Synth Bass Pedal
To date, the FMeron from Iron Ether Pedals, is the closest thing I’ve found to true FM synthesis in a pedal for bass players. Just the simple feature of being able to take out the attack in the note, would have alone been worth the price of admission. The fact that it alos has an incredible onboard filter, modulation frequency selector to tune or detune the signal, multiple octave ranges, and expression pedal control of the FM wave, is a massive bonus.
It’s one of the few bass pedals I’ve tried in a really long time that simply doesn’t need anything else to make it sound hip. You can, of course, run this in conjunction with a huge range of other pedals, to take your sounds to ridiculous new heights. And towards the end of the video I did just that.
But in terms of right-out-of-the-box, bang-for-your-buck value: this pedal is a monster. From Blade Runner to Mike Dean (who has done synth work for Kanye West, Jay Z, and a host of other megastars) this single stomp box can do pretty much all of it.

I think the name of the pedal is a play on the word "ephemeron".
What drum loops/sample pack are you using or recommend?
Seems like you can have bell sounds like with Ringmodulation but without losing the pitch beyond the tuned note. Is my impression correct??. Thank you!
I've had one of these for a few years. I did have it up for sale but after watching this, I've decided Im gonna keep it! Thanks.
Has anybody ever tried running a Dubterrenea through the FMeron? Might be an idiot idea but I'd love to know how that'd sound.
Holy cow this is roots dupstep in a pedal
FIMERON
You should have two of the vintage bass octaves on your board. One for the Jojo Mayer setting and one for full dry and full octave 1 so you have that 80s bass octave sound
FM-mer-ron
How does this only have 3.5k views? Wow. Also, helluva pedal. I hesitated and missed out buying one a couple of days ago. Great video!
The Jojo Mayer sticks looked like it had a normal color wood stick instead of the white finish. I want a pair of those if they exist
I’m going with”FM-eron”
Janek, Have you tried the synths in the stomp?
YAY! my picks making more appearances!! @5:58
Proud owner. Cheers from Indonesia. ????
Loving the pedal show Janek! Great production, great sound quality, amazing intro 🙂
Really helps me to understand some of the amazing sounds you and other guys like Tim Lefebvre and Chris Morrissey are producing. Now I need to save some money to buy some of those amazing pedals and explore the sounds myself. You are presenting al these pedals with such enthusiasm, it makes me want to have all of them 😉
Great show loved it! Thank you????
Ok,..I’ll say it!…unless like him you’re in a band that allows you to use FX as such,..one would be challenged to find an abundance of use for the tones in the real Bassist role on gigs.
The sounds are cool tho’,..Bass & Drum Dub sessions would be killer!!
That said,..I’m still holding out for a more practical sounding FM synth pedal..you can do some great known/familiar grooves with!!…????✨????????✌????????????
Did I hear The Lick at like 10 minutes?
Can it do the classic DX7 bass patches?
Still sounding ring modulation not synth…but cool
Damn that tone at the end is bananas. I need this pedal now for the dnb band I play in it’s perfect!
Εφήμερον (ephemeron) is the greek word for ephemeral. Such a great pedal!!!
Have you also checked the boss sy300?? This beast has it all…Oscillators,filters,envelopes,
arpeggiators… You name it!!! Don't get fooled by those crappy youtube demos…
Yo Janek, love the new series for pedals!! Keep up the good work!! Love synths, check out the Bananana Effects Matryoshka micro synth. Awesome little box with a HUGE amount of sounds!! Cheers ????!!
gawd all the Iron Ether pedal sellout SO FAST
Since I dogged on them in the octave video, I feel it necessary to say good on you, MXR!
Nice work getting the Mayer signature sticks in there while playing material that sounds like Nerve.
ephemeron = singular version of ephemera.
Meaning transitory or short-lived.
Great play on words/letters here.
As videos like this help us in choosing the right pedalboards for the three videos or two of the series i already realized that my bb preamp is an excellent tool and i almost sold it these days i would make a serious mistake. thanks again Janek!
