This thing is overall a great player. I've had to get a setup on it once I got it and I'll replace the brass nut with a titanium one, but it'll be perfect after that. I love the pickups, and I really enjoy the wide neck, it helps with vibrato. I am still unsure about the G-Force tuning, but the ability to quickly fix my tuning with the touch of a button or completely change tuning with a single strum keeps it on my headstock. Fantastic guitar that gets a lot of hate for no reason.
I love the finish on this thing, neck and body. It's a stripped down rock machine that you don't have to baby. It plays great, sounds great, and looks great. If you want a genuine Gibson SG at an illogically low price, this is the guitar for you.
This pedal is a staple and its easy to see why. When I, along with many others, think of a distorted guitar, this has the sound that comes to mind. You can get a variety of tones out of this and I have seen multiple quality mods on it as well. It's not outstanding, but it does sound great if stacked with an overdrive pedal.
This pedal does a great job of creating solid overdriven tones when I'm unable to crank a tube amp up loud enough to cause it to distort and stacks great with other pedals. It takes a little to get used to it, but overall it sounds solid.
The pedal has a wide variety of intensity of effects and doesn't mud up the tone of the guitar.
At first its difficult to find a sound that's not completely overpowering, but after fiddling with it, it's become a necessity to me. Would definitely recommend to a friend.
It's the original, what else can you ask for? Sounds like classic rock and blues to me, but it is capable of being used in any genre.
Overall it generates great tones, and the built in effects aren't bad. I've used it for home practice and have used a mic to hook it up to a PA for gigs. It does what you need it to, nothing more, nothing less.
