Fair point, I had forgotten about the Eventide stuff. I'd still go with my
EDP/MPX-G2 combo over an Orville, but my experience with the Orville
(limited to playing with Luca and asking him lots of really arcane 
questions
about what it will and won't do) has been pretty good - he certainly gets
some amazing noises out of it.
