Decent for the price, very hollow sounding
The mic doesnt have the depth I would quite like from a mic, everthing sounds very thin and hollow. Spend the extra money on an Aston Microphone (probably the Origin) and you have a studio quality mic from only about $80-150 more (canadian)

Outstanding mic, and light on the wallet
Some of the crispest sounds I've gotten out of a mic. And it's super versatile. The built in pop-filter and stabilizer saves some money on extra equipment. I've used this mic for very clear vocals, micing a kick drum, and is outstanding as a guitar amp mic (little untraditional for those uses, but it holds up VERY well)

VIntage and plays well
1980's Era. I can't give a full review as the one that I got was a hand-me-down and the headstock was broken, and sat in storage for 15 years. Some of the absolute best resonance i've heard. May be some variables, lie being kept in temperate storage, untouched for almost 15 years. But it soudns GREAT. hauntingly beautiful. I have to keep it in C-standard tuning to avoid too much tension on the oddly fixed neck (bolted back in place), but it has amazing bass, and amazing resonance. The second octave strings arent extremely prevalent in the initial sound, but give a hauntinly beautiful shimmery-octave ressonance

Decent guitar, needs modding
I like the guitar, it plays well, but the bridge is a solid wood peice, making intonation impossible. I'm going to try mdding it to put a new bridge on it. Love the way it's a mostly solid body guitar, but resonates like a hollow body (the interior is semi-hollowed just to give more room for wiring and such, so its not a traditional semi-hollow, but its not a solid body either). Love the guitar, but the bridge is a huge drawback

its never the same as fender polepiece magnets though... still the fly rules, wish I had one

agreed, I'm thinking about one day possibly putting in some custom pickups

Great beginner pedal, works amazing with a little modification
No longer in my chain as I'm not a fan of distortion. Look on YouTube for some demos of how to desolder two specific diodes that fix the volume and tone sucks that the stock pedal has. Without the mod its great for a beginner pedal as its cheap and sounds decent. The mod makes it sound like pedals about triple its price

Little pricey, find a used one
Pricey pedal, but I found one used for $60 (Canadian). Great for creating a soundscape. I use it live and in the studio to fill the sound, and is great for practicing on your own to have something to play over. Also great for sustaining notes in a solo (if youre into that). Works best for my shoegaze-style playing, or ambient stuff

Perfect for my uses, great price
Since the Orange amps Terror line to not have an equalizer (just a tone knob), this is a mainstay on my board. Stays on all the time to dial in the perfect tone. Could be used as a boost as some have mentioned, but it has a very harsh switch (at least mine does) which causes a large pop when you engage and disengage it. Great for the price and for my use! Just started noticing that is is fairly noisy however, it only just started getting bad after about 3 months of use, but its only noticeable when there is silence from your guitar, otherwise it isnt loud enough that you hear it while you play.

The best reverb pedal i've owned
Absolutely love this pedal. it's a little pricey to get in Canada, but I promise it's worth it. ITs perfect for any use of a reverb, little bit of hall reverb to fill your sound, very wet reverb with a long attack, or a nice shimmer over ambient/lead tones. I love that you can dial in the exact amount of each octave that you want, and store 3 preset taht are easily accessible. I dont care about the size, since I love it so much, i base the rest of my board around it

decent, but you get what you pay
Sub-par chorus tones unless you have extra signal going into the pedal (a boost directly in front of the pedal), in that case you get fairly good tones, but it means you need another boost in your FX loop. Cheaply made knobs that feel like they'll snap off by using them. Decently built outer body

Fat switch isnt great, but very transparent
The gain on my unit is a bit finicky, and the hot switch gives the most ridiculous boost to the signal which overloads my amp past being overdriven (and adds a LOT of low end), may just be my unit, but its great for a light transparent drive on the warm setting, especially if you're planning on stacking overdrives after this pedal (I use the boss BD-2), in which case it gives really good overdriven tones great for heavier music
