This is a flexible overdrive that ranges from Treble booster to overdrive

This sounds like a Class A English amplifier and has a very Vox like tone with a nice drive. This can get fuzzy and is very smooth.

This is one of my favorite analog delays of all time.

This delay sounds great and has functional features. The tap tempo is great for live or the slider can adjust "within the ballpark" prior to tap tempo. The lights show the tempo of the delay and work well live to prevent having that delay time not coincide with the song. The oscillation and modulation can build up to insane levels to work well live or on a recording. The tone from the unit is warm and still maintains clarity.

The only complaint I would have about the design would be for the placement of the screw for the battery case. Removing the feet, the delay can sit almost firmly onto my Pedaltrain.

I have had so many of these pedals and they have been standard in my board

It is an even distortion. This is an industry standard for distortion. There is enough grit and it isn't an out of control pedal. The frequencies are even and there is enough bass, enough mid-range, and enough treble. The tone knob is functional. Frequently, I will have the level higher than the distortion for a smoother sound.

This is what the Thomas Organs sound like.

I love the V847A which has a vocal sounding inductor and there is a smooth grit to this wah. I will use this as a semi cocked wah to emphasize specific frequencies.

This was my first effects pedal

I love this. This is where it started for me. The wah has a great vocal quality. I do not have it modified to be true bypass & lose a lot of signal when off.

This is a flexible wah

I love the chrome and the 4 different settings for the wah. The boost is helpful because it can get lost when the Q is set for a lower frequency.

This was a great tone enhancer

I loved the 2 - 9 volt power and the headroom made a difference. I could boost frequencies that made this a monster. I could get a rumble that wasn't expected from a guitar.

This is a functional delay

I love the tap built in. The attack can change for crisp to dark with the bite. It is brighter than a Carbon Copy and darker than a DD5.

This is a convenient way to be able to practice and learn songs without lugging the half stack out.

This is a modeling headphone amplifier that has decent effects. The Pocket Pod does have a USB port to hook up to a laptop or desktop to modify sounds. It is definitely solid state and portable.

This is a nice headphone amplifier with effects, metronome, tuner

This is a good portable headphone amplifier. The effects are decent. This is not a tube sounding amplifier. It is good for practice and cool effects without lugging around a bunch of pedals.

I love this pickup. This is a little hot, but not overwhelming.

This pickup is essentially the Seymour Duncan Custom pickup with an Alnico 2 magnet and wound on a larger bobbin to mirror the strings to the polepieces. This is "F" spaced or a Trembucker pickup where the polepieces line up to the strings for a Fender or Floyd Rose spaced bridge. The low end is substantial. This is not a screechy pickup. The midrange is defined and has a little throatiness. The treble frequencies are solid for harmonics and cutting through a mix. This is not a brittle sounding pickup. It is like a hot-rodded version of the the hot-rodded PAF. There is more warmth to the Custom Custom or Custom 2 pickup than the original Seymour Duncan Custom pickup. This is a well rounded pickup.

This was a super strat that was originally released in 1981.

Kramer originally manufactured aluminum neck guitars and decided to diversify. The original guitars had Fender Strat shaped headstocks and the 4 models that were released were from the Pacer series. The Pacer Imperial is a 2 humbucker guitar with a strat shaped body that was originally released with a Rockinger Tremolo bridge. Some guitars featured the ESP Flicker bridge. The other guitars that were released shortly were the Pacer Special, Pacer Standard, and Pacer Custom. The Pacer Imperial had a side mounted output jack with 1 volume and 2 tone knobs with a 3 way selector.

The guitars later came equipped with Floyd Rose Original tremolos as standard. Eddie Van Halen was not a fan of the Rockinger tremolo and preferred the Floyd Rose. To secure the endorsement, Kramer started using Floyd Rose and later Seymour Duncan as standard. The original pickups were Schaller pickups.

Kramer later released the Carrera or Pacer Carrera which was the sleek upgraded body with deeper cutaways, Black finish, black hardware, no dot inlays on the fretboard which had the same features as the Imperial - 2 humbuckers, 1 volume, 2 tone knobs, 1 - 3 way selector. The gold font decal is the only color except for black on the guitar.

Floyd Rose later invented a sustaining pickup similar to an E-Bow that was released as a Kramer Pacer Imperial platform.

This is one of the greatest analog delays.

My only complaint is that this isn't great to use live due to the fact that it is the size of a component cassette stereo. The delay is a great tone.The echo effect is pretty impressive.

Best clean chorus tone ever

This is a wonderful amp for clean. The distortion sound isn't that great. The chorus is great. The Vibrato is pretty amazing. The Reverb is smooth.

Greatest reverb and tremolo

This is a classic tube amp tone. I love the 7591 power tubes and tube rectifier.

My favorite amplifer

I love this amplifier. The clean tone was amazing. The distortion was over the top. This is an atomic bomb compared to other amplifiers.

I used this as a distortion pedal and flexible amp eq

Loved this. I programmed all 128 presets.

This is a hot rodded version of a Marshall amplifier with over the top gain and more flexibility equalization

This is a Dual Rectifier without the ability to change to 6L6's power tubes. The 2 rectifier tubes can make this spongy or sag. The tone is pretty impressive. The clean tone is pretty spanky. The amplifier has the ability to be 50 watts or 100 watts and using the clean channel with 100 watts and the dirty channel at 50 watts is pretty impressive. The solo function makes this amplifier have 4 different levels for sound. This amplifier does what hot rodded Marshalls were meant to do.

This is my favorite tremolo

The tap tempo and the light makes this tremolo really functional live. The tone from this effect is pretty stunning. The flexibility for this can change between time or ratio. The attack can be adjusted to the attack or fundamental.

I love this pickup. This is an even sounding pickup that really brings out the tone from my Gibson Les Paul Standard.

This pickup is great paired with a Pearly Gates bridge with a Gibson Les Paul Standard. You can hear the wood resonate. The bass response is tight and defined. The midrange is punchy, but it could be better if there was a little more midrange. The treble is clear and transparent. The treble isn't shrill and distinguishes the neck pickup from the bridge. The bridge versions of this pickup are great and the Slash model is the hotter version of this pickup.
