It likely requires too much thinking, tinkering, and remembering for me to enjoy using it on a long term basis. If I can’t easily figure it out by looking at only the front panel, then I’d argue the interface is poorly designed.

Basically anything digital with an LED screen, menus or secondary functions, not very 01010111 of you

But now I'm curious, what kind of music and instruments do you play?

There had been a pedal that I was eyeing for a couple weeks. It was used and at the lowest price I'd seen. Bought it, fucked around with it for a week and decided it wasn't for me. Went back on Reverb with the idea of reselling it, maybe even mark it up ten bucks from the low low price I'd bought it and actually come out ahead for once. Now there are three listings for the same pedal at least $15 less than I bought it for. The vicissitudes, man...

Whatchu got

Source Audio Dimension Reverb.

One or two times a year I buy a reverb and then remember that I don't really like reverb all that much.

I have no need for any more guitars right now, but if an Epi casino or wildkat just happened to fall into my lap... I wouldn't say no.

If a Dean Razorback fell into my lap...I would perhaps scream.

and bleed.

Found a used wildkat locally years ago, and still regret not buying it
I was afraid I wouldn't use my other semi hollow anymore though

I suspect there's something wrong with them coz there's always a few on ebay over here. They look really great though, and I've got no hollowbody at the minute.

there's nothing wrong with the Wildkat. i had one for several years that i had to sell in the post-2010 purge, and it was a well-made, very playable. it does have a couple of problems, though. the import B7 Bigsby doesn't work well because of the steep string angle from the B7's tension-bar to the bridge. i'm told that using a softer spring in the B7 helps. the Tunomatic bridge is also problematic; it's the older style with the spring that holds the saddle screws in place, and the spring is too weak so the bridge saddles wobble alarmingly back and forth when you hit the bar.

the other thing about the Wildkat is that the P90s are insanely hot, something like 12kΩ, and the metal PU covers purportedly make the pickups even honkier.

If I were to get either a casino or wildkat I would be fully prepared to change the stock pickups for something better, get a roller bridge for a bigsby, and e m b r a c e _ t h e _ f e e d b a c k

they're not that feedback-prone. i suspect one reason they are so common in the used market is that they don't actually sound like people expect from their appearance...at first glance they look like baby-sized Gretsch archtops, but are really a chambered (solid) Les Paul-esque mahogany body and a thick maple slab top with f-holes, so they don't resonate like a hollow body. i think people expect a twangin' rockabilly sound and attack, and it's not like that at all. with the uber-hot pickups it's monolithically dense. i'll bet it'd slay with effects, which i didn't use much with my Wildkat.
