I have sure liked a Pepper or two i have played.
Perfected is kinda cool model name. (not quite as good as something like Hubris... Which i just figure should exist, even if it would be a bad idea for me to be involved in making one exist)
What others have they?
(I know i should know, i'm just blanking on non-Henry Distin details regarding Pepper. Well besides still publishing music, and naming and building the first sousaphone.)
