I found one of these is a small guitar shop an hour away, absolutely fell in love, but had no way to get it home. So I ended up driving back there the next day to go get it. It wasn't perfect to begin, but with a few minor alteration to the bridge and some new pots it has become an absolute dream of a guitar. The neck feels fantastic, it's comfortable to play, it has that perfect jangly sound you expect from a jazzmaster and the rhythm and lead circuits open up a whole world of tones to play with.

Elegances in simplicity. The first guitar I ever bought and what a path it sent me down. I couldn't have asked for a better doorway into this world. The feel is fantastic, the tone is awesome, it'd well made, looks amazing, stays in tune. The best £150 I've ever spent.

Great, affordable Rat clone that emulates the Rat and Turbo Rat sounds that have been used in countless songs spanning almost all genres. Stacks nicely with other pedals for your classic Rat tone combos. An all round good copy of the 70s icon.

Fantastic chorus that I kind of bought on a whim. Got some really great usage out of it though! Despite only having 2 controls, you can get a surprising variety of tones out of this! My only drawback is an annoying pop I get when first turning the pedal on after the power has been off, it's never been enough of an issue for me to need to do anything about it so I have no idea if it's just an issue with mine or a more widespread issue

All analogue signal path, digital control. Absolutely brilliant delay! Tap tempo, note divisions, modulation, it's got it all. Unlike some delays with modulation, I find that the full range of the mod dial is completely usable.

Bought this cheap off facebook sales on a whim. Best. Purchase. Ever. Versatile is off the charts, delay and loop quality is incredible. I've lost so many hours in an spacy ethereal delay induced creative bubble and I don't think I ever want to leave. The sheer number of amateur and pros alike that use this pedal should speak for itself. If you see one, buy it.

Really great reverb, not a bad sound in it. Does the classic spring, plate and hall really well but it excells at the more ambient sounds, church, shimmer and lofi. The tone print ability is such a fantastic idea, but I found it hard to use and so haven't really delved into it too much.

For the price, this pedal is fantastic. It's an excellent boss VB-2 clone and it can really hold it's own against the OG. It gives you excellent chorus tones all the way up to rapid vibrato, boardering on ring-mod territory when at max depth. The latching/unlatching mode switch is a great tool to have at hand aswell. My only draw back on this pedal is the enclosure. It's flimsy, squeaky and looks very cheap. But, it is only £20! A fraction of the price of a VB-2.

Great pedalboard, comes with velcro and a carry case so you're all set to gig! Plenty of room underneath for a psu and cables. I feel like this pedalboard is a gateway pedalboard, if you enjoy pedals, your gonna want more pedals and you soon find that this one isn't quite big enough, and the next one won't be big enough either, nor the one after that... it's a slippery slope from there

Good pedal for the price, nice smooth function and good tones. I found it difficult to turn on and off to begin with from my usual seating position, so had to adjust to use the wah. I would really call that a draw back of the pedal though, it's more designed to be on the floor before a pedal board than on a pedal board.

Great compressor with probably the best power light I've seen, and as a bonus, when the pedal "compresses" the light glows red instead of white. The visually sleek design is a bonus and the back lit knobs are a great feature (with the ability to turn them off to save your battery). All round an excellent pedal.

Was bought this for Christmas many moons ago and it's been on my pedal board ever since. I've used it as a lighter overdrive into a distortion, a heavier distortion after an overdrive and as an always on amp in a box "pre amp" into an amp where the standard tone just sucked. This pedal can give you a great variety of sounds depending on your gain level and guitar volume so I'd thoroughly recommend it.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The memory man came out in 1976 and this pedal is the perfect homage to it. Smaller foot print and a scaled back set of controls but all of the fun of the OG!

Awesome spring reverb, simple single knob control makes it very easy to use. A lot of reverb from such a small footprint!

Great loop pedal for the money and an excellent tool to have weather your gigging or just bedroom jamming. Keeps a good level of clarity between individual loops when you start to stack them up. I use mine with a FS-5U to make stopping and undoing that much easier but you don't necessarily need to. Despite being simple, I'd recommend reading the instructions at some point so you can take advantage of the 2 settings you can change to get this loop to be perfect for you.

Bought this to use with my RC-1 Loop pedal and it's really helped me unlock the loops potential. I've also used it as an expression pedal on a few keyboards and it does that pretty well too.

Wow, absolutely bargain of a pedal and it absolutely nails that coveted Klon sound. Weather you wanna use it as a transparent boost or as a hard clipping drive, this pedal covers it! The added "voice" switch is cool too, it switches something in the circuit to work slightly different. It's hard to tell the difference at low gain, but when you turn it up past noon it sounds more like led clipping (maybe?). All-round, an excellent pedal for the money!

An excellent imitation of one of the most iconic overdrive sounds. The small footprint makes it great for cramming on to your pedal but the lack of space for a battery means you've got to have some sort of power supply running to it. Gets a little noise with higher volumes and gain, but I've never been disappointed with mine.

Bought this off Facebook Market place as a small amp to take to work to jam with a colleague. I wasn't expecting too much from the 3w 4" speaker but it's actually pretty good! The volume it produces is surprisingly loud, but damn near impossible to get a clean tone out of the amp anywhere past the 2nd notch. The overdrive channel makes for a vicious little creature, snarly and spikey but still a usable sound. Over all the amp sounds good, takes pedals surprisingly well and does the task I bought it for, I just wish I had a bit more control over the tone.

Absolutely fantastic battery powered amp, great tone at bedroom volume. Takes pedals pretty well on all 3 gain stages but any ground noise from your instrument can become unbearable. Cab simulated aux out is fantastic. My only down side to it is there's no inbuilt reverb, only delay, but other than that it's perfect

Got one of these as an absolute bargain off Facebook sales and it's just brilliant. It's got way more volume than my little flat can handle but still sounds great running at low volume. Takes pedals fantastically, I've only had to dial in a little more gain on a few but all my modulations, delays and reverbs just sound great. I'm not much a lover of the drive channel, there's a huge volume jump from clean to drive so it's not really practical for me to have to adjust the settings every time, but seeing as I have my gain on the floor for the most part, I just tend leave it on clean. The headphones line out works ok, a little more quacky in the sound, but still sounds pretty good.

I didn't expect much from a £50 second hand 2x8 solid state amp, but it's really surprised me. The dirt channel is not my thing, but the clean channel takes pedals fantastic, both with delays, modulation and reverb into the front and with it in the fx loop. The real spring reverb is also brilliant. I've not tried gigging the amp, but the volume just keeps going up the more you crank it, so I'm fairly confident it could definitely do a small gig! Only reason it's not 5 stars is just because I don't like the drive channel.

I bought this to go with my gimmicky collection of mini amps and to look cute sitting atop my much bigger Vox Pathfinder 10 and Vox AC-10, but it's actually amazed me how capable it is! For a 2w 2x2" combo, it's got good volume, the 3 gain levels are fantastic and cover clean Beatles esk tones up to high drive cranked Queen esk tones. The in built effects are great addition and the drum machine is cool too. I can't really understand why this was ever discontinued? My only draw backs are the tone control is limited and it's lacking the classic Vox diamond pattern grill cloth, but I intend to change the latter!

Simple to understand and real good quality product. Can be a little fiddly with the small buttons, but once your used to them your flying. I throughly recommend getting others in the pocket operator series, they sync up perfectly and you can create some real interesting stuff!

Wanna make a song out of retro video game sounds. Well here you go. This is perfect. Unfortunately you are limited to the C major scale on notes but you get an interesting array of synth drone chords to go along with it and it auto tunes it's arpeggios to the chord playing which is awesome. I recommend getting other pocket operators to go with it.

Really strong bass sequencer with a wide array of sounds and play styles. A lot of people complain it's limited to the C major scale, but thats not the case. If you use the effects you can pitch shift notes up by a half step! I've had great fun with this and I recommend getting multiple pocket operators for the best experience!

Been using this to better record guitar for videos and demo tapes and it works really well. It's simple to set up and get started and you get great life out of the batteries. My only draw back is the lack of volume control over the aux in ports, being able to fine tune the levels there would be a great help. Also, not controls for panning which is a bit of a shame

Never really got on with flexy thin picks so tried out these boys and never looked back.

Bought this guitar purely out of need of an electric guitar with very little knowledge around what was good and what wasn't. It allowed me to progress a fair amout, but poor and cheap build quality became more of a hindrance.

The amp that came with my first guitar. A thin, quacky, cardboard sounding little noise box. I moved away from it as soon as I had the money to do so!

Looking after this guitar for a friend for a few months and I've absolutely loved it. Took a bit of time to get used to the short scale from my Jazzmaster, but the twangy single coils and snappyness of the hard tail have made it really fun to play. The tuning stability is also fantastic.

Nice little guitar. Plays well and sounds good, surprisingly good set up on it out of the box. Needed the output jack replacing because the signal kept cutting out and definitely needs strap locks if your gonna use a strap. The position of the front strap button makes it very easy to come off, especially with the guitar neck heavy design.

Borrowed this from a friend for a couple weeks, so I haven't had super long to get to know it, but I'm a long time tubescreamer (clone) user so I wondered if it could convert me. Sadly, it did not. It's very much "the same but different" in very minor ways and by all means is an excellent alternative. However, I found that the colouration of the eq to be much stronger that my Kaffir lime and the gain seemed to be a touch more prickly. All in all, a fantastic overdrive. It's just not what I was looking for!

Bought this as an upgrade from my first practice amp and it sent me down the slippery slope of fx pedals. Ideal for bedroom practicing and exploring tone, this amp provides the perfect platform for learning about what amps, pedals and sounds are out there, if your willing to put a bit of time in to perfect them. Super easy to set up, adjust and use. The in build tuner is a godsend and the bluetooth connectivity is awesome. I'd also throughly recommend using the Fender Tone app for even more functionality.

First pedal I ever bought, but looking back now, it wasn't best suited to me. A good amount of gain on tap and ample volume to really slam the front of your amp (waay more than I need). Tends to take over your tone though and doesn't allow for much variety in the sounds it can produce.
