this is one of my favorite delay pedals, and its modeled after one of the greatest tape delays in my opinion (re-201) this thing had amazing characteristics, it can be a little overwhelming with how different it is but trust me you get used to it and learn how to manipulate it.
i really enjoy playing through this amp, at low to mid levels the clean is full and warm! the quality of the build seems pretty good, no complaints. it comes with a nice foot switch pedal for your two channels and reverb. oh it has a real spring reverb inside! huge plus! it comes in a bag that is screwed to the bottom of the amp. i wound up taking it out of the bag and just setting it inside the amp for now, ill screw it down soon. my only complaint is that it doesn't have the best clean headroom. this is a 40 watt amp so its absolutely loud. but the clean headroom dies out around 5 on the volume level. I'm pretty sure it just needs a better speaker than the stock one it comes with so ill be swapping that out eventually.
These delays are classic, not much tops it. Enough different modes to keep everyone happy and trust me theres tons of room to experiment with. The looper on this board is a very nice bonus, plus everyone should play with a loop pedal at least once. If you have a little bit of money for a decent delay then look no farther, this pedal can and will delay it all
i picked this up about two years ago and it hasn't left my pedal board since, it can go from a fairly dry signal to overly wet so be careful. The spring reverb is pretty much a your classic spring reverb minus the spring but still holds its ground. The hall setting is what i tend to use primarily, usually between 9-10 . The flerb... something i still haven't quite gotten the hand of yet, maybe its just not my thing, regardless its great to have as an option
This pedal will send you to outer space though the cosmos far far away from that pale blue dot you call home. The presets alone on this digital reverb pedal are amazing. I must admit as soon as i received this pedal i became a huge "shimmer" fan, something about it that has allowed it to become one of my top reverbs. If you ever get the chance to try one out I'm sure you'll be purchasing one shortly after.
I've owned my sg standard for a little over ten years now and this guitar has never disappointed me in any way what so ever. It great for styles from classic rock, doom metal, to ambient, and jazz. I've kept mine completely stock simply because it just does everything its supposed to. theres too many positive things to say about this guitar so if you interested in one of these, i highly suggest going to a local music store that has one in stock and play it. See how it feels for you.
if you're interested in investing in a affordable stratocaster that won't hurt your pocket you really can't go wrong with one of these mexican standard stratocasters. the neck has a nice smooth gloss finish with feels very nice on the hand. when i received mine i did a little fine tuning myself such as adjusting the tremolo, truss rod, and action which is very simple on stratocaster guitars. i was surprised to notice that when i went to adjust the intonation i plugged the guitar into the tuner and to my surprise i didn't have to do a single thing, the guitar out of the box had perfect intonation. The pickups are just fenders stock single coil pickups, they're exactly what i wanted so i don't think ill be swapping them out anytime soon.
I purchased this 1987 rg550 from a friend of a friend, when i received it the pickups had already been swapped out with two seymour duncan invader pickups so this think was ready to shred to hell and back. Even though it's a basswood body it still had a very comfortable feeling weight to it, doesn't feel too light. The maple neck is still smooth even considering its almost 30 years old.
I purchased this as a backup head because one of my amps tends to be a problem child so i wanted something reliable without sacrificing tone. This head does just that, its solid state so its lighter, straight to the point, and solid. Its nice having an eq for the dirty channel so you can really dial it in but was a little disappointed when i noticed that there wasn't a full eq for the clean. I was very pleased to see that it comes with a single foot switch pedal that you can either use to switch from channel 1 and 2 or use to turn on and off the amps reverb.
I have nothing but positive words about this amp head. The wattage control knob is perfect for slight tonal differences. If your'e like me and wanted a small, non colored head to run your crazy pedal board though then this little guy is perfect. I very well would have given it 5 stars but mine has had a little of a problem (it happens) while i would be playing at a moderate volume, out of no where the volume would just drop to about half of the level. I had done a little disassembling and had noticed that the wire going to my volume knob had burnt up. It is getting repaired now and hopefully thats all that is wrong with it.
This is something i have just received a couple days ago so this is really just a first impression review. When i first opened the box i was actually surprised to see that it came with a very nice vox speaker cable. As soon as i sat it on top of 4x12 orange cab, plugged in my Mexican fender stratocaster standard and turned the head on immediately was shocked by how loud this 30 watt head is. The other thing it came with was a vox soft cover for when the amp is not in use, though i would suggest letting the amp fully cool before covering. This amp head does indeed get hot from all those tubes
Very well rounded versitile cabinet. its "big", powerful, and orange, what is there not to love. The celestion vintage 30's are a classic, they crunch, they twinkle, and they always get the job done. I personally use this cabinet for jamming and bedroom practice, might be a little over kill but with the quality and hand work put into these cabinets i just don't see myself plugging anything else in if i don't have to.
