I really love my Dean Tyrant. It has the simplistic charm yet the killer graphic on it. My pros are, the awesome body shape and graphic, the awesome neck profile, jumbo frets, and it's lightweight body that still balances well. My cons, the neck heel does not work well with high fret use, it's stock dean pickups aren't great, and the tuners are just average. I'd buy it again.

I wanted a guitar for cleans. I found this in a pawn shop. I enjoy the 24 inch scale length and the duncan designed pickups. It's a heavier guitar, but its shape and contour makes it very playable. Pros- Simple controls, looks, and neck profile. Cons- 21 frets (mine has 21.), cheap tuners, and it's pretty heavy.

I've had this guitar for 2 years now. It's slowly but surly became my least favorite guitar out of my arsenal. Here's some advice. Buy something else. Mine came with the pickups barely working. Sometimes the pickups would work. Sometimes they wouldn't. The tuners crapped out pretty soon after that. Pros- Les paul shape, nice neck profile,. Cons- Pickups, cheap parts.

I got mine from a friend a few years back. It's jacked up but I like it. Mine has the green and grey tribal on it. I wouldn't buy another one but I enjoy mine. If BC Rich got their act together I'd consider buying something from their new Mark series. Pros - Warlock shape, Widow headstock, decent pickups, 24 frets. Cons- Pitched back neck - rendering some areas unplayable, heavy weight, balances weird.

Great pedal. It's a tuner of course, It tunes. It does it's job well. I'd buy it again. Pros - low price, metal housing, chromatic. Cons, Small, can be a little weird.

I run this pedal in front of a distortion pedal I use for all my gain. It does it's job of juicing my distortion for a tighter sound. (Using the Amp as an EQ, distortion for my gain.) Watch Fluff's video on youtube for some sounds. He compares it to a Maxon OD808 and it fairs well considering the $30 dollar price tag. I'd buy it again.

I use this pedal as my clean boost to get some volume for my clean sound. It works rather well. Use this with some chorus and reverb and you're set. I'd buy it again.

Note this is the only wah I've used extensively. It can be set in whatever way I want. I like how simple it is. Having a switchless wah is the only way to go in my book. The leds make it easier to use as well. I'd buy it again.

It's a noise gate. It does what it needs to. It's not for staccato Periphery stuff. However in my application of metal, it works just fine. I'd buy it again.

I use the ME25 for clean effects, low drive, and wacky effects. The distortion in this is laughable. Unless you want a digital sounding gain, use a different unit for gain. However the effects I use for cleans do their jobs well. Using it for flavors is its strength. I love the looper. And I love having all these effects in one box. I wouldn't buy it for $200 new. But it's worth 70 bucks if you can find one new.

These are the picks I have always used, and will use probably forever. If you play fast, buy them.

Before I got a bigger amp, I used this app for tones. It's okay. Don't bother buying any additional things though. None of them sound as good as the Valveking anyway. If you're gonna buy an amp, buy the Peavy 6534 on there. No other amp can get a tight, clear, and dynamic rhythm sound.

I threw this in the bridge of my Epiphone Les Paul LP Special Player ii. The installation was okay until I messed up the grounding wires. That was my bad. I contacted EMG for some replacement grounding buttons. They sent me 2 without charging me anything, which is commendable considering I'm just a normal guy. Unfortunately they sent me the wrong things. I correctly installed the pickup. Just with the wrong stuff. It has this hum that never ends. However, when I play, I can hear the guitar. The sound I hear is good. It has a slightly compressed sound and tons of output. So much that I don't even need my overdrive into the distortion. I found out I'm crap at changing pickups, and that pickups that hot aren't my thing. I will commend EMG for trying to help. That's why it gets 3 stars.

I'm a metal guy. I've been using these heavy cores since I started guitar. I've used the 12-54 primarily. When they're new, they're great. After several months in South Carolina's humidity, they die and go flat. More so than Ernie Ball paradigms. But they're worth the price. I use dunlop.

These are some really great strings. They've beaten all other strings I like. However, they aren't cheap. If I had my way I'd use D'addario for all my string needs. But I can't afford it. I love these strings. But my wallet doesn't.

Do note that I used the Not Even Slinky 12-56 set. I liked the strings. I jumped at the idea of a string that won't corrode for 90 days. However, South Carolina humidity has a way of ruining everything. They corroded. I can't prove it cause this was in July 2017, but they did. I like them, just not the price tag.

I really like this cable. It does what it needs to do. I like having the 20 feet. It's also very durable. Would buy again. The only problem I have is that it coils up at times. But that's probably my fault anyway.

I like these straps. Despite being affordable, they work well. They're a pain to adjust and fine tune but once you've got your desired length, you're solid. I've bought 3 of these. All of them have been of the same quality. They come in white, brown, and black.

I like these picks for any form of music where I need a lot of pick attack. Also, using thicker picks with heavy strings is practical. I got these in a pack of 72 for less than 20 bucks. The only complaint I have is that they wear like crazy. There are other pics I prefer, but I enjoy using these.

Great sounding headphones given the price. They beat any skullcandy I've used. I would buy again.
