Cheap option to have many effects in a single pedal
I've had the M13 and M9, currently I use the M5 for some modulation or filter effects on my pedalboard. Like its larger versions, it has many options, it works like a kind of Swiss knife. Although it lacks many extra options that the M9 and M13 do have, for its size and price it offers many options. It helps me a lot to go and try out with new bands without having to carry 3 or 4 modulation pedals or any other effect.

Overpriced, not so good Reverb pedal
I prefer the Eventide space rather than this. Good sound but it is built kind of cheapy, fragile.
Not all parameters can be controlled with the knobs, you gotta adjust many of them internally, which makes it complicated. The price is very high in my opinion compared to other options with great features.

Great Digital Tape Delay Pedal
I love this pedal, it has all the features the old RE-20 had in a digital compact stompbox. Bad feature: No presets or memory. Good stuff: great, great sound, tap tempo, built as any boss: like a tank.

Not as good as M9, great option for avoid other pedals
Used to have it, You can have 4 stompboxes at the same time with 3 different pedals per stompbox. The bad thing is too big and heavy. I prefer M9. Check my review of M9, the effects are the same.

Great compact stompbox modeler
I love the M9 as it has a very good sound for a digital unit, a lot of effects in a very compact unit. I used it for modulations mostly, but it has very good effects for Delay, Reverb, Filters and synths, Od/Dist/Fuzz and it's not expensive. Whenever you don't need a lot of effects (you can use 3 of any at the same time, in the order you want) in a light unit, it's very useful.

Great live equipment, kinda oldie for actual standards...
The G System is a great piece of gear, built like a tank and with great options for sound. Not very friendly to use to use at first and it was designed in a time where digital distortion was not good in sound quality terms, therefore the loops to include different distortion pedals.
Pros:
-Great design and sound, very customizable and built to last forever. -The loops are great not only for Dist pedals but any that might be needed. -The presets allow to avoid the tap dance. -Every effect built in can be adjusted from a computer thorugh the USB, also the presets can be backed up and restored.
Cons:
-Effect chain can't be altered -When controlling amp channels from the unit, there's a minor delay between the change, not inmediate. -There's no amp simulation. -Pricy for actual products in the market.

Great Relic guitar
I've gt this guitar from a huge fan of Nirvana and my friend. The guitar is good, the relic job is great and the pickups are incredible. It's a modified Jaguar, with controls more similar to a Jazzmaster but with shorter scale, a better bridge than Jaguar's default one and good tuners. It's a great guitar, awesome look and great sound.

Nice affordable guitar
It's a nice guitar, HSH configuration, so you can have something like a super strat, but still a Fender. It has nice features and a lot of options to be modified. Affordable to go from Squier to Fender and not investing a lot of money. Made in Mexico. The humbuckers have a great output, the fretboard feels good and it has a nice look.

Nice reissue
A lot of people tell me the pickups of this guitar aren't that good and that's a scam from Fender. I particulary like the sound, feel and features of the guitar. Kind of heavy but comfty. The fretboard is great.

what they mean is that the pickups aren't actually authentic. They are fine if you want a PAF-style humbucker with a bar magnet charging 6 steel screws. A real Fender wide-range humbucker from the 70s has adjustable magnetic polepieces made of an alloy nicknamed 'cunife' and is more of a split singlecoil like a p-bass split-pickup only way more refined. Its a really unique humbucker tone for those reasons and because the coils are really big, sensing the string with a very large magnetic window. Also, having polepiece magnets these pickups have the strong string pull associated with, say, a tele pickup that literally influences the way the string vibrates.
Again, there is nothing wrong with the humbuckers in your guitar, they are just not accurate reproductions of the vintage originals so people get down on them. Chris Shifflet of the Foo-Fighters likes regular humbuckers in a tele deluxe so much that his custom model ahs regular Gibson-type PAFs in it. Viable sound, nothing wrong with it. If you are ever curious abut what a real wide-range humbucker sounds like contact Curtis Novak and have him make you a set of authentic ones and drop them in your tele. It will eat sustain but open the sound up dynamically and widen your frequency bandwidth, restoring its tele twang.

Great Dist Pedal with a huge range
I love this pedal. It has a very lineal Distortion, a huge range and nice options with the tone knob. I don't like the DC plug and it's kind of hard to make it fit in my pedalboard considering the big screws it has. Reliable and built to last forever.

Great looper, but not very intuitiv
I upgraded from RC20-XL. This is a good pedal, 2 Channels, can be used with Mic's and instruments, however it's not that intuitive in my opinion to change channels, looping and dubbing... The usb function is great, however there's no option to increase its hard drive capacity or record in different formats (only .wav supported).

Best Reverb Pedal Ever
I absolutely love this pedal. It has several modes and is so customizable that options borderline limitless... Not cheap nor easy to use, but it's bbuilt like a tank and has a badass look.

Grungie affordable reliable pedal
I used to have this on my teenager times. No w I got it again, it has that grunge particular sound from Nirvana I like. Easy to use a and a very decent range of distortion.

Great Pedal with some limitations
I had this Pedal some years ago. Upgraded it to RC-30 a couple years ago. I loved the Reverse function, and the looping was more "natural" and intuitive than the RC30. But it only has 1 looping channel and just 11 banks, my main reason to upgrade to RC 30.
