Improved my playing
I hated playing with picks because (1) most picks feel flimsy with my heavy pick attack, and (2) dropping picks while playing became a routine thing. I looked into these and not only do these hold up well, but I think my guitar playing improved once I got accustomed to them.

Clever pedal
There is a bit of a learning curve to this pedal, but it's very useful once you get the hang of it. The "Chaos" mode and "Momentary" mode are a blast to putz around with. Aside from the usual hard-cutting tremolo/fuzz combo thing I do, use it for things along the lines of "How Soon Is Now," "Born To Run," "Evil" by Interpol, "You Should've Hung Out" by Rival Schools.

Fun as hell
A fellow musician was downsizing and gave me this. It was a great addition to my pedalboard. Around the same time, I got my hands on an EHX Small Stone Nano, which is essentially the same circuit. I wound up selling it because of its large footprint on my pedalboard and it didn't make much sense to have essentially two of the same phaser pedals.

First Electric Still With Us
I borrowed a 2008 Mexican Tele from my brother while he was in the Marine Corps. I learned how to play electric guitar on this instrument and I still use it from time to time. The only modifications on this are the tuners and the Tele/P-Bass style volume and tone knobs. I now have the Fender locking tuners and the Fender amp knobs.

Great beginner dirt pedal
I used this as my main distortion sound as a novice guitarist with only a cheap 10-wat solid-state amp. Then I discovered what valve amp distortion was. I kept it around for several months afterward, but I ultimately let it go in service of cleaner closet space and a less crowded pedalboard.

The best thing to happen to my bass rig so far
As a bassist in my band, I use a borrowed Fender Rumble combo from the early to mid-aughts. I only used that for nearly a year. I don't really like the preamp sound and having only the onboard aux out to go to the front of the house is pretty limiting in an indoor live setting. This handy tool helped to eliminate these issues. I run a cable from my bass to tuner into the Bass DI+. One 1/4" out goes through the front end of the amp. I have the amp EQ bands tuned all the way down. The XLR out goes to the front of the house. With all of that in mind, I still have one more output jack at my disposal.

I will never part ways with it
I purchased a 2011 Mexican Tele with a flight case included. The only issue I had with it on the day I purchased it was that the bridge pickup sounded weak and thin. I replaced that with a Dimarzio Pre B-1 to get more of a Tele sound I was accustomed to. I will never part ways with it.

Simple, yet effective
I purchased this almost a year ago and I have to say this thing sounds great. I mainly use the depth all the way up for a nice stuttering effect. My only concern with this pedal in particular is that when you engage the pedal there is a noticeable volume drop. Not very helpful considering it's the last thing in my chain. However, that can be easily fixed by prying out the C4 capacitor. Now I have no issues with the volume drop.
