I play mostly Van Halen music, but will learn other stuff as well. Just love that classic "brown sound".

If you love the Van Halen "brown sound", this amp has it, just plug in. This is the best amp I have ever owned and I think it is the best. With Eddie's name on it, how can you go wrong?? I have read some reviews where the "bad" column read..."It's TOO loud!" ha ha ha ha, yeah right! Too LOUD???
Good value for money and packs a punch. I use my Satchurator pedal with this one, it really adds a nice growl to the tone. The gain is pretty good too. Lots of power in a compact unit.
I bought this amp as a beginner and it was inexpensive, so it has fulfilled its purpose. Now as a more advanced player, I realise it is not that good. I use it on clean now with effect pedals, but would like to get a better one. Cheap price, not great quality. Would not replace this amp if I lost it.
This little amp packs quite a punch that I did not expect. It has great gain distortion and a very nice built in reverb. There is a knob that blends either American or British amp sound, I really don't understand what that is about and can't tell much difference from one end of the spectrum to the other. Great bedroom practice amp, and I suppose you could take this out in a park somewhere and annoy people with it too. I am very glad I bought this amp, it is great!
I've always loved this distortion pedal. You can dial in a lot of different tones. I had 5 stars for a long time, but then I bought the MXR Dime Distortion pedal, I like it much better. So now, Fullbore Metal may be sitting on the shelf more often.
I am glad that I got my hands on one of these, I'm pretty sure that they have stopped making them now. I play my bass guitar through it, gives it just the tone I am looking for. And I love the "MORE" button, it gives it a real kick when you want a bit more.
This pedal does everything as far as delay, so many ways to tweak your tone. Also, I love that it can split your output into a dry and wet output. I use this to split my guitar signal into two different amps for a great stereo sound. With one amp on delay, you can really have fun with heaps of different set ups.
It is a fun way to change things up, and you can nail certain Van Halen songs where it is necessary for that certain sound. I don't use this one a lot, but you can use it to make all kinds of different tones.
Okay, I am biased when it says "EVH" on it. But this thing rocks! Goes great with an EVH amp. You can also find a sweet spot on the pedal and leave it as distortion. Metallica did this on Sandman. It's just one more way to find that tone you are chasing!
This guitar sounds great with my EVH 5150iii 50 watt 1x12 combo amp. This will be my main guitar for a long time to come. It just fits nice, and will only get better with age.
I got a great deal on this guitar, for some reason it was marked down pretty good at the guitar shop. It has active pickups, which produces a unique sound. I enjoy playing this guitar very much, but it cannot get 5 stars from me after I owned a Wolfgang, but still a very great guitar.
I started playing on this guitar and it served me well. I won't part with it now, but after getting past the learning curve, I find this guitar unplayable. I have basically retired this guitar for sentimental value.
This bass guitar does the job and doesn't cost a lot of money, reasonably priced. I have repainted this one green with Van Halen style stripes on it, sort of like Wolfies bass. I would love to have another one as a back up!
This is my string of choice. Have tried quite a few sets, but this one is the one that is closest to the sound I want.
Great value for money. Does more things than I could have possibly imagined.
Great bass tone and so convenient to use. Comes with built in compressor effect as well. Can be used as normal headphones where you get a lot more bass response from your music.
I bought this pedal second hand not knowing what it would sound like. I was very pleased that it has the sound I am looking for, instant metal tone. I have the Full Bore Metal pedal and this one is far superior to that. It's very easy to dial in the perfect sound. If you are looking for high gain metal tone, this one is a no brainer. It is true to the Pantera sound (inspired by Van Halen). If you like these bands, this pedal is for you.
You can get a lot of different sounds from this amp, and they sound good. You can pipe in backing tracks by bluetooth as well. I would buy it again!
Good value for money. You can get a very accurate tuning with the strobe feature. It's easy to learn how to use and you will hear how much better your guitar is tuned right away.
