Tough, Well made Attenuator
This useful bit of kit allows you to keep that sweet saturation of the power valves, but at a much more reasonable volume for home use, the attenuator features 2 dip switches that allow you to dip back some of the treble/ bass that may have been lost between the amp and the speaker, a line out socket for recording or into a PA system and an option to bypass the attenuator. The unit is well built and I've played my valve amp throughout the evening a couple of times and the attenuator never gets hot, room temperature at most. Only downside I would say is that the unit is a bit chunky and requires a bit of room/ a surface to sit on as it won't sit on the top of all amp heads which would be the ideal place. If you are like me and live in a terraced house where you can never really turn your valve amp up due to fear of getting a cease and desist order it is well worth considering purchasing one of these.
Rich sounding chorus
I bought this chorus pedal to use for some Def Leppard cover songs, the pedal has a liquid rich sounding chorus effect which I find is more desirable for when you want the effect to have much more of a presence, saying that though the chorus is very diverse, covers a lot of range and can be customized to suit your taste.
Comfortable, great tone and affordable
There's a reason why a lot of people say 'everyone must have a GS mini in their arsenal' The guitar is light and comfortable due to its size yet still has a a loud voice and great tone due to its wide lower bout and curved back that allows a lower frequency resonance and a larger out-of-plane vibration, these are made out of real wood (there are many options depending on your preference) and come with a professional, well made gig bag. I am very happy with this guitar.

Can of beans
Does what it says on the tin. I mainly use it to push my amp from a pushed clean sound to an overdriven sound and it does that amazingly, It can be used for a lot more though and is a great pedal to start with if you are new to the pedal game.
Great Phase pedal!
This is a great and in my opinion more dynamic version of the phase 90 pedal and best of all very simple to use.
Great value for money!
I mostly play clean, but every now and then its great to have a bit of dirt, especially as I love bands like Black Stone Cherry, Volbeat etc and for £30! you can't go wrong.
Prefer this to the new one :)
I really like this pedal, I use it kinda like a mini overdrive pedal, and it does the job! :)
Fantastic, very overlooked guitar!
I find alot of people are put off by the P90's with this guitar, but I find them to be fantastic, sure the buzz is a little annoying but having the clarity of a single coil for your lead playing and still being able to crank them to get close to the sound of a humbucker makes for one very diverse pair of pickups. The guitar also looks beautiful.
Ideal 1 x 12" Speaker Cabinet
I really like this speaker cabinet, although it only has one speaker I think the size/ large space inside the cabinet gives the speaker more headroom which really works well.
Classic, sparkly Fender cleans.
If you like your Country, Blues or Jazz, I would say this is the ideal amp for that tone, the clean tones are so sparkly and clear, this amp will make your notes resonate like no other. I find its an amazing pedal platform and pushes you to want to improve as a player, there is a reason why this amp is a big contender in the studio for most artists.
Nashville Spank with Stratocaster feel
Its a great guitar for the money, has that spanky Telecaster sound but with the added middle pickup can be close to what you would hear from a stratocaster, the addition of locking tuners, the modern bridge and cutaway make this a great guitar for modern playability. only downside I would say was mine had some slight fret buzz/ sharp edges along the frets.
