Best Guitar I've Ever Owned
Most beautiful guitar I have ever seen. Plays like a dream and incredible tone. Dream guitar that I will never let go of.
Best Amp I Have Ever Owned
The best vintage tone I have ever heard out of an amplifier. Amazingly clean and responsive. My only qualm is to beware of blown fuses.

clean? the ac30 has the least truly clean headroom of any amp between 30 and 45 watts. Although my experience with the Chinese ones is pretty minimal, maybe they re cleaner than the 60s AC30s and handwireds. The circuit is certainly tampered with substantially....
Hey Jim, I appreciate the incite but these are all my opinions. If you don't share that opinion, that's fine, but you can submit your own review if you have a different one. Thanks :)

Just What I Need
This distortion is a perfectly rounded pedal for almost any use. Whether you want to use it as a solo driver or just to dirty up your tone, this pedal can do it all. Very reliable and easy to figure out. Lots of possibilities. Highly Recommend.
Great Reverb, Very Fun to Mess With
This pedal is a TON of fun to mess around with. Plug in stereo amps and this thing will blow you away with real 3d soundscapes. The left toggle switch (when held down) holds the reverberated notes infinitely, great for transitions between songs in a live setting. Loads of fun and will hold up to a 30+ second reverb. Though I will say, when putting it at the end of your signal chain on your pedalboard (especially with any overdrive engaged) it does tend to get a bit muddy. It is not a pedal you run though on your board and away you go. It will take time to figure it out and perfect its use, much like many other EHX pedals.
My Most Used Pedal BY FAR
There will never be enough good things to say about this incredible reverb pedal. I hardly ever turn it off. With incredible capacity for sound and the ability to make some of the largest space reverbs I have ever heard, this pedal rivals the Strymon Big Sky for massive reverberation. Incredible pedal and I would highly recommend. (P.S.: The modulation of this pedal is what really gets me, it is unlike any other reverb, and trust me. I've tried almost everything.)
Incredible Delay Pedal
This is one of my most used pedals by far and I could not be more happy with it. Though size wise it is rather large, if you really care about delay, you will make room for this powerhouse of a pedal. With countless banks and programable and quick-changable presets, this pedal can switch independently between 3 different presets at a time. The tap tempo helps a ton when you need to make last minute speed adjustments on the fly and has come in handy several times live. The DL-4 is used by some of the best in the business and for good reason. Whether you want quick snapback delays or huge (and I mean HUGE) stereo ping pong delays, this pedal can do it all. For cheaper than most EHX pedals, the only better pedal that I know of in terms of delay is the Strymon Timeline (more than 2x the price). To sum up, this pedal has never let me down, extremely well built, and can create about any delay sound you can think of. Do yourself a favor and go get this pedal as fast as you can.
