Ok for what it is....

My old trem pedal finally croaked, needed a cheap replacement. Find I need to whack the intensity and rate up a bit higher than my last to get the desired effect. Can't knock it for the price though,

My new favourite OD

Loving this play with my jazzmaster, the HP/LP switch flips the tone between a Fendery vibe and a Marshall/Vox-ish one. Not had it very long still squeezing tones and textures out the wee beastie.

Rather nice for the price

Great delay pedal for the price, tend to use the analog option on a fairly low setting. Adds a nice touch to big up some of the cleaner riff and bits I play.

Great guitar, still getting to grips with it....

Finally gave in and bought a Gibson, after lots of umming and ahhing went for one with P90's rather than 'buckers.

Only had a few weeks and still really getting used to it. The P90's sound great but they can be a tad noisy, found that I've had to lower gain and distortion on any dirt pedals I use with in to stop some annoying screeches. But once the "sweet-spots" are found this baby can sound great, particularly liking the sounds I'm getting from my Proco Rat.

I've already become attached to the lighter weight compared to my Gretch, loving the thinner neck as well,
Have found the tuning doesn't hold that well, this seems to be a known issue with Gibsons usually fixed by a good set-up.

Once I get it in for a set-up I'll get back on here and update....

...on stun

Great phase pedal, mainly use it for either full-phase freak outs or subtle texture/tone stuff..... The mini EH pedals are great if like me short on pedal board real estate.

Versatile Noise Pig...

Although owned and used this pedal for year I've only really just started to really get to grips with it. Forgot my amps switch pedal one practice so used this instead, found with a bit of patience I could get a reasonable OD tone along with the usual distortion....like all Boss pedals it's built like a brick hits house...

Telemonster....

Bought a cheap squire to mod, quiet a nice guitar for the price. Currently rewiring with new pots after a recent pick-upGrade. Still wondering why I didn't buy a 2nd hand Fender one now as I'm becoming a telecaster convert. Maybe if I get a pay rise....!

In black.....

Had this a while now and I have to say it's a great guitar, sound wise to me it's the swamp dwelling mutant love child of a telecaster and les paul.....sounds great with crunchy od and distortion.

The bigsby isn't as extreme as other trem systems I've used and can take it's toil on tuning when over used. It certainly looks good though :)

Currently toying whether to use this in the 90's UK indie covers band I've just joined.

Rude name, rude sounds

Love this pedal......taken a while to tame but it's now a valuable part of my sound. Will write more later...

Good amp for smaller gigs...

The Vox ac15vr is a nice amp for small gigs & practice. Some great clean tones to had from it. I originally bought it to try and emulate the cleaner jangly indie sounds (aka the great Mr Johnny Marr). Currently using it as an all rounder amp for the band I play in.

Like most things it has some really strong points and some flaws/weaknesses. The am does have a habit of getting way too bright when cranked up, this can be compensated for using the EQ on the amp and tone knobs on the guitars I use. It took a while to tweak and I had some issues with my old Fender Jaguar (both together were just too shrill). Once these tone issues are address it's great.

A massive bonus (for me anyhow) is how easily it feeds back, with a bit of practice this can be but to good use in noisier songs.....

I'm looking at a bigger amp soon as it's starting to get drown out by the rest of the band when we play in large rooms, still plenty of life in the old dog if it's miked up though....

Used more as a boost pedal

Nice pedal, makes great boost pedal for solos or heavier riffs....

Nice little 'verb pedal....

Needed to add a bit of reverb to my sound as the built-in one on my amp was pretty lame. Read a reviews and decided on this one. The small size mean it fits into my already cramped pedal board well. Produces some nice clean tones, needs a bit of tweaking once used with other FX though.

Great guitar - used it as my main for the last six months.

For the price this guitar is fantastic....

I've used this for gigs and people just assumed by looks and sound that this as a full-fat US Fender.. The pick-ups which seem to fall somewhere between single coils and p-90s work well with all manner of pedals (this thing loves fuzz equally as much as clean jangly tones).

I've made a small change adding a roller bridge which helps with trem use & overall tone and stability....

The only doubts I have are sometimes I wish this was produced in another colour. Other than that I can't fault this wee beastie...

Thanks J......
