Thought I'd pass this along...
VFE's Peter Rutter is trying to expand his growing business and offer some new versions at the same time.
Some good stuff coming.
I backed an early bird V2! (if it gets backed that is...)

Enterprise V2 updates:

Taking everything I have learned about designing & building pedals in the last two years, and using the increased purchasing power that Kickstarter provides, version two of the Enterprise makes many improvements.

1) Extended range of the SPEED control. Using a custom-made pot, the speed range is increased while allowing for more fine level control over the faster speeds.

2) Extended range of the DEPTH control, which will be called the CENTER control on version 2. This still the same control as before, but the sweep goes past the normal maximum and shifts the center of the sweep towards high frequencies. This allows for a full sweep, a throbbing low sweep, or a mellow high sweep.

3) A custom-made FEEDBACK control has a more even sweep, plus a center detent to let you know when it is set at zero feedback.

4) Precisely tuned phase stages for an even more natural, smooth sweep, especially at slower speeds. I really took my time to tune the phase sweep for the widest array of natural phase tones.

5) The MODE switch now has a middle position, which is a cross between the focused phase mode and swirling vibe mode.

That's really cool! VFE looks pretty nice. I've never played one, though I've wanted to try the enterprise

I have the Old School tremolo and Dark Horse distortion and can say they are for tone freaks that like knobs and switches
Plus Peter is a stand up guy to boot!

the kickstarter ends in 4 days and you can still nab the early bird of the v2 enterprise! or better?

Thanks for sharing this!
I decided to pledge for the V2 Enterprise.
There are still some spots left for $150,- which I think is a nice deal if the pedal does what it should (sound like a great Phase 90 with extra options to boot).
By the way, one of the most interesting features hasn't been mentioned yet and that's the dual mode footswitching that is included on all V2 pedals.
It allows the footswitch to be operated as usual, or by tap+tap+holding down over 3 seconds you can turn it into a momentary switch, freaking awesome!

yeah guess I failed to mention that!
VFE is ahead of the curve I would say in added options while keeping the footprint and price small.
you can also send in any older pedal to be modded with the dual mode switching if you wish.
I'd pledge more if I had it...

little over 3 grand to go to get funded.
kickstarter is a little weird in that way.

I hope it gets funded. I have an Enterprise, it's a great sounding phaser.

VFE makes some cool pedals, but I think people are getting tired of the kickstarters...this is his 3rd one since january

I received a Choral Reef today and it seems pretty cool but it will take me a little while to get accustomed to the controls!

They're stuff is so ugly. Sorry... Had to say it.

I love all of the features though.

well I hope it gets funded too, it's tough to run a business these days and meet demand without bankrupting yourself.
it's all about tone and control in my book.
and he's local to me, so that's a win too.
he fixed a tremolo of his I picked up that had a busted knob for like $10 I think, which was the shipping

doesn't look like this is going to get funded unless it gets shared in different circles or something
oh well, and hopefully north korea settles down.

Kickstarter is a much safer option than poorly run pre orders. Seems like 1 in 10 pre orders is administrated decently.
