Favorite Reverb Pedal
I've got a CME Exclusive version of this pedal with a red/black color scheme, its super unique. Maybe one of the best reverbs in the game right now, it's got simple reverb, but you can go all the way up to cavernous, mystical reverb sounds.

Fantastic Guitar
I've had this Tele for a couple years now and it's been my go to guitar for almost everything. I know people rave about American made Fenders, but honestly, I can't see myself spending that much more money for something just as good as this. Fantastic guitar.

Great combo for practice/home use
I've used this amp for quieter practice and some coffee shop gigs and it has amazing clean tones, good overdrive tones, and good distortion tones. Distortion gets a bit bass heavy sometimes but otherwise tone is no problem on this combo. Really easy to use the effects and set up different presets.

Massive sounding bass combo
Local or professional, you can't really go wrong with this combo. I would recommend using a sansamp to dial in tone more, but you can really go either way. Only con is that it's insanely heavy, you need two people to carry it safely.

Great budget PA for practice spaces and local shows
It has great volume for local shows. I have used this for local shows for about a year and it's never sounded horrible so far. Sometimes gets repetitive feedback but that can also be attributed to the smaller spaces I play in.

Great microphone, not insanely expensive
I have used this for live and studio scenarios, it performs great in both. Clear sound, almost as good as an SM58 for half the price.

Beats out other budget wireless sytems
100 foot range and 6 hour battery life for $150 is really nice, especially for local gigs and such. There is no noticeable latency unless you really try hard to find it. It also allows for 4 different channels, so if everyone in your band has one, they're all useable at the same time.

Great budget guitar
This guitar was around $180 when I bought it, it was my first electric guitar. This guitar couldn't get any better for the price tag. Pickups sound great, one of the pots is a killswitch, and it's a perfect guitar for $180.

A guitar with flavor and uniqueness
I received this guitar as an anonymous gift, to my surprise, and it is now my prized possession. You don't see this one as much as you do the classic Silver Burst, I think the cream binding and hardware really give this guitar a nice touch. It also comes with coil splits which gives it a lot of versatility. The top is a gloss finish, but the whole back/neck is open pore satin, which I personally enjoy. An absolutely amazing sounding guitar, will most likely remain the flagship of my guitarsenal.

Great budget guitar
I've had this guitar for a couple years and it is pretty fantastic for around $200. The stock pickups are hotter than most and you'll get a good metal tone out of them. I will say that along the way you might want to upgrade some of the other hardware, I upgraded to locking tuners due to the fact that it loses tune a bit easier than some mid and high range guitars.

Favorite distortion circuit
Throw a good overdrive in front of this distortion and you've got yourself a crunchy, nice distortion if you dial it in right. The filter knob is also great because you can go from a cleaner refined distortion to more of a fuzz sound.

Classic overdrive
There isn't much to say except for the fact that this pedal will get you a great overdrive tone. I've got one from the 80's and it sounds amazing on my board.

Best multi effects bank I have tried
Amp simulators work wonders, clean tones are fantastic, but it takes a bit more work to dial in a good amp sim with distortion. The range of effects and the fact you can download your own effects to the bank is also quite nice. I mainly use it for effects that I don't have in singular pedals, and for an easy noise gate and EQ. Wonderful multi effects rack.

Amazing amp head for the price
First amp head I have owned, it came in a combo with the cabinet. Again, if you need something to crank at a local gig, this is it. Amazing clean tone, classic distortion tone. With a couple of pedals thrown in the mix you could use this for a professional gig.

Amazing cab for the price
I will say, this cabinet was my first 4x12 I have owned, and it sounds fantastic. It came in a combo with the head, and if you're looking for something you can crank at a local gig, this amp is perfect. I also have no problems getting studio sounding tone out of this, and have used it for all of my recordings.
