Hi All-
I bought my Supreme back in 2001 (saw it, needed it, went back and got it after I had a paycheck...) and have yet to do it justice.. i went 23 years of plugging it directly into my Line6 DL-4, with the mags going through a TS9, and then into a Princeton Chorus, with the volume basically super glued at 1... It's time to do better.
First and foremost, what's the first thing I should plug the piezo line into?? I see a bunch of options for piezos in general, but just found this group and would love some advice from the Parker community..
Thanks!

Hi @fellraps and welcome! I’m loving this thread already 
For my Fly, my piezo hits a Fishman Aura straight away—here’s a demo video of how it sounds (borrowed from this thread):

Re: Need. Pedals.
I like knobs, so I vote for upscaling the fisherman aura to the more expensive version:
just plain lost
Re: Need. Pedals.
+1 for the Aura Spectrum DI.
Caveat: My great fear with software-based pedals is that they will eventually lose their software support and, I think, the Aura series has already... but the Spectrum DI has so many IRs already loaded that you should be able to find *something* that sounds reasonably good.
Alternatively, anything that supports IR loading should work really well. In addition to the Aura Spectrum DI, I also use the Line 6 HX Effects (all of the Helix line is good for this) and the Kemper Profiler where these remove the need for a dedicated IR pedal from my board.

Re: Need. Pedals.
The Fishman Aura Spectrum DI is definitely worth checking out - tons of acoustic IR presets built-in. If you want flexibility, the Line 6 HX Effects or Kemper Profiler are killer options that let you load custom IRs. Your axe deserves some sonic love after 23 years! Enjoy upgrading your rig.
