Okay

I've got the same model, but in high voltage violet, which is a really bright purple-ish finish. It's an okay guitar, but definitely not as good as any prestige I've ever played.

Great Keyboard

It's an awesome keyboard, comes with quite a few different instrument settings (two pianos, electric piano, vibraphone, harpsichord, organ, strings, choir) and is really versatile. It's essentially a keyboard, but also a digital piano with semi-weighted keys. It's even got MIDI capability, which makes it super useful to me!

Great guitar for the price!

I've got a JP100D in trans black and it's got a great quilt top. I especially love the pickup pairing and the trem! Now I'm after a true EBMM JP model! Honestly, incredible workhorse guitars :D

Pretty damn wicked!

This thing is my favourite fixed bridge guitar! It plays incredibly smoothly, with one of my comfiest necks. Mine's got Duncan JB/Jazz combo, which I feel fit the guitar pretty well, giving it a super versatile tone range. I have the TKF trans black finish model, which is a japan-exclusive finish, and it looks classy as hell! It's actually labeled wrong here though; the model name is actually RGA121

This thing is awesome.

My first seven-string, and I don't think I'd be completely off to say it's probably going to be my favourite for a long time coming. It's super versatile, plays so smoothly, and that added functionality of the 7th string really pushes me to improve. It's incredible. Only thing lacking are the pups. I might swap those out sometime in the future, but they're not excruciatingly bad, just not too great.

Super Versatile!

All the extra functions on the 535Q really push it from just being a wah pedal to being an ultra-versatile tool in my effects arsenal; not to mention the fact that it's hella fun to use :D

It's a Standard

Just your run-of-the-mill standard noise gate pedal. It works pretty well, well enough to keep the hiss from super distorted tones from bothering me.

Compressssssssssssssssss

It's a nice, cheap pedal that does its job. I only really use it when I'm looking for tones for tight riffs and to smooth out lead tones. I like to keep my cleans and lightly driven tones free of compression.

It's Dirty

I use the ML-2 to get my heaviest sounds, but most of the time the gain's not past 12 o'clock, so I can still pull some nice lightly driven tones. Not ultra-versatile, but it does a good job at what it can do.

It's a chorus pedal hurdur

Uh, yeah, it does what it's supposed to do, hahah! Just a nice chorus, I usually use it more subtly unless I really want it to be noticeable in a mix.

The Tone is real

My oldest piece of gear out of everything, hahah. It's an all original vintage 1984 DD-2. Pretty much identical to the DD-3s that are still out there, except DD-2s were made with better components, which is why they still work great despite being >30 years old.

It does a good job

Works exactly as you think a looper would, not to mention it has all the extra fancy functions and features and barebones looper wouldn't have. Only minor issue is that you start to get a bit of subtle noise that gradually intensifies after maybe 4 or 5 overdubs. Great unit overall, though!

It's pretty sweet :)

Works well, has 4 mic/line inputs which is really nice when I want to mic an amp thoroughly or record a drum kit.

Wicked

Two magnetic humbuckers, my are upgrade to DiMarzio PAF and X2N, pretty thick and sturdy 3 piece maple neck, and of course the piezo system. Ultra versatile piece.

My Go-To Strings

I don't like changing my strings often because it's a hassle; and with Elixirs, I don't need to! They can last up to a third of a year for me under regular play which is great because I play daily and man can these things take a bashing! Also, I like how smooth and silky the strings feel under my fingers; it makes for quicker, more eloquent playing, I find.

Pretty Standard

Hahah, just a standard couple of sticks. Pretty comfy for me since I have small hands, but whenever I buy a new pair I like to try a bunch out to get a nice weight I like. It may just be me being crazy, but I like comparing how comfy I find them, hahah.

Beautiful, rich tones!

What more can I say other than it's great? I got it for a really awesome price, and mine is black, but it can do some beautiful, rich, luscious cleans with a whole lot of depth, as well as an awesome overdriven tube-saturated distorted fuzz tone straight from the amp. It doesn't pair all too well with distortion pedals, but a good OD pedal will push it right into that heavy range.

A(mp)++!

This is my go-to main amp! It's super versatile, and can handle tones from the most shimmering bell-clean sounds to a perfect post-punk grunge dirt, and if you throw a distortion pedal in front of it, watch out, because it's going to rip at you with a fury! Seriously though, out of all the tube amps I've ever tried, the Peavey Classic 50's probably my favourite. Not to mention it's a 410, and it's light enough to move without too much effort, but it'll still provide more than enough sound for a BIG venue.

Bottom line: Awesome!

It's a basic bass amp; sounds pretty nice to me!

It's pretty minimalistic; just got the volume and three band EQ, with some inputs for line ins and a headphone jack. It sounds pretty nice, then again I'm just a hobbyist bassist, hahah.

Warmoth Partscaster

I have a hand-built deep translucent red strat made of Warmoth parts, with Dragonfire pickups. It's a swamp ash body with a flamed maple top and a flamed maple neck, and it sounds incredible!
