jokinglyevil's Electronic Studio Setup
This is my current studio setup, it's got most of my instruments. I'm cleaning it up this weekend but it's really messy at the moment because it's so cramped

sounds amazing
I play this thing almost every other day. It sounds amazing, and you are able to create your own sounds with it. For the... '70s? '80s? This thing is amazing. Every synth needs a "funny" preset.

Very solid strategy copy
I love this guitar. I have one with an American flag pickguard design and red body, and the neck feels so nice. The frets are just right, and everything about just feels right. The only gripe I have is that the lever for picking which pickup to use feels very cheap. Sounds great though!

Nice practice amp
First off, I'm a solo musician, still fairly novice. It's a good amp for practicing and beginners, you can get some nice sounds on it but you'll probably outgrow it fairly quick. It's very sturdy (I have it sitting precariously on another amp and it's fallen off a lot — still works perfectly fine!) and works great. Had it for a couple years. Nothing particularly bad about it, but you're likely not going to get your signature sound on it. Sounds great when you crank up the gain!
Good for: beginners, practicing
Not for: pro anything, especially recording
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Cranking the gain, treble and bass up to 10 while keeping the volume at 2 sounds great while keeping it quiet!

Great tone, lots of settings
You can get amazing tone from this. My aunt gave this to me used (from maybe the 70's? 80's?) and it sounds great. I use this for everything -- jazz, prog rock, metal, you name it. And it sounds great with any of them! Very warm when you keep it clean, great turned up, etc.

Solid multi-effect pedal
My parents got this for me for Christmas a few years ago, I play it a couple times a week. It feels very nice and solid, and there are a lot of effect options. None of them that I've tried are outstanding, I'd say, but by no means is anything bad. A solid 4.5 stars. The reverb sounds pretty good.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Reverb + octaver, no drive, sounds pretty good.

An amazing quality guitar
This guitar (I have a black one) sounds amazing. I got it from my dad. His parents bought it for him in the 80's, and since he couldn't really finger the guitar he had the lightest strings possible on it. About a decade later he put it away, and this year he gave it to me. The same strings and everything, and it was surprisingly mostly in tune. I tuned it up and it worked great! (needless to say I put new strings on it a few days later, similar to what he had on there.)
It's got a great, full sound and feels amazing. You don't have to press too hard or anything. (note: I almost never use a pick unless absolutely necessary, I always fingerpick or fingerstrum.) If you're looking for a good acoustic guitar, I would recommend this to almost anyone. Beginners, even pros (I haven't actually played any "pro" guitars though).
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Really light strings on it sound amazing, especially in an open tuning.

I love this trombone
I may have the wrong trombone, but I don't think so. I play in the high school band on their trigger but use this one to practice often, and it's very smooth and feels good. My parents bought it for like $300, I almost feel like that's a steal. Very good sound. It's a very good quality instrument, no bad parts, nothing exceptional but a solid 9/10.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Using the Yamaha lube on this feels just right
