Incredible
It plays amazingly, the build quality is second to none, the sustainer and fuzz factory are genuine improvements that can be used muscially instead of gimmicks, and the PF-1 pickup is exactly what I want out of a guitar
Avg price: $684.36
Great lunchbox head
Small enough to carry around, loud enough to gig, and the headroom/bedroom switch makes it viable for home use as well. The gain goes from crystal clean to hard rock, and with a TS style drive you can even get a halfway decent metal tone
Cort Classic TC Manson Stage Series Single Cutaway
Avg price: $323.12
Comfortable modern tele
Super comfortable to play, all the hardware on it feels solid and the guitar as a whole feels well built. The pickups are slightly more modern voiced, so it maybe won't give you the classic telecaster sound, but it does sound great.
Avg price: $258.68
Best seller for a reason
This amp is incredible. It has endless sounds in it, it's easy and intuitive to use, it's cheap, it's small, it's light, it's loud, there's very little not to like. If I were to get it again, I'd opt for the 100w version that has a different speaker, but that's not to say the speaker in the 50 isn't good, just different. Since I've got a Orange Rocker 15 Terror, I've mainly used the Katana with a Dirty Shirley overdrive pedal or Big Muff to blend in with the Orange, and it excels at filling out the sound.

Better than expected
For the price, this is one of the best pedals I've ever bought. It pushes the amp like a TS but for 1/5th of the price. I wouldn't want to take it on stage, I'd worry about breaking the plastic housing, but for messing around at home that's not an issue.
