one of my credit cards gave me a surprise $1000 bump in my credit limit. you wouldn’t believe how hard it is not to order stuff like a crazy person (heh). i’m holding off on getting the Supro for the moment because if things go OK i might be funded for next month. i’m stalking a Belmont (sparkle white) and a Sahara (“Wedgewood Blue”) on Reverb that are both under $500. i’m terribly tempted by the Batverb, but even at $400 and some used it’s the most expensive pedal i’ve ever considered. i need to spend time with the lo-fi board and see how much of what the Batverb does i can get out of the ‘verbs that are there.
i watched some demos of the Meris Enzo X and to me it doesn’t sound as good as the original Enzo, more metallic and artificial. that’s one heck of a user interface, though. maybe not my brainwave but impressive. why do builders always degrade the sound of complex pedals when adding more bells and whistles for v2? the Particle springs immediately to mind. the $64 dollar question remains, do i really want my guitar to sound like a synth? Fripp’s Soundscapes become less interesting to me the more synthy they sound.

Been interested in the Priestess since it came out, love the original Pharaoh.
