Is he, secretly, gutted that he bought the Page and not the Harlot?

More likely just getting on the waiting list for the latter as well

@JerkMoans yep I had a similar thread last week. In essence my understanding is (assuming latest versions of each as of Jan 2024): 

Overdrives:
Page - boggo middle of the road OD (aka the best OD you'll ever play)
Page TS - as above with TMB EQ tonestack and More switch for extra boost
Harlot - Basically a Page with more gain available and More switch
Minstrel - smoother than Harlot, with TMB tonestack 
Jester - AC30-like OD
Peasant - simpel booster with impedance control
Serf - even simpler boost, no impedance control


Preamps:
Squire - Dumble-sounding simple preamp
Constable - literally a Plexi preamp in a box. Loads of switching for more gain 
Juggler - Dumble style preamp in a box with switching for mid boost, more drive etc.
Herald - AC30 style preamp

I think that's right... 

I wouldn’t say the Jester is an AC-30-like OD. It’s very smooth, well rounded OD and I’d say it’s almost like a higher gain Timmy/transparent OD. It’s based on one of Simon’s own amps.

It’s basically a Minstrel I believe, with an added boost side,

The Harlot gets into spikier/fuzzier gain territory maybe more akin to a cranked AC-30

Ta - good to know. I'll amend my post to avoid confusion.
