I went to the store expecting to try a few different guitars, but as soon as I got my hands on the Warhawk, I didn't want to waste time trying anything else. The P90 is my favorite neck pickup on all of my guitars. The combination with the humbucker in the bridge is great. So all three voices on the guitar are unique from each other which works well if you want some versatility. Also the bass contour knob is such a beautiful thing. I can simply roll back or up the bass when changing volume or pickups without having to change the amp. It is such a great control. This color looks much better in person. I can't get a photo to really show off how great it really looks. I was surprised how light it was. I'm used to my heavy Les Paul. I kind of wish this guitar was heavier, but I don't think that it would really make a difference in the tone and feel, so I can't complain. Pretty much a perfect guitar. I'm so happy with it and would recommend it to anyone.

This was my first non-beginner guitar, and it doesn't disappoint. The candy apple red looks really great, especially with the white, sparkly pickguard. The Seymour Duncan pickups are very nice sounding. The neck is super smooth. Everything just feels great on the guitar. I like that the humbuckers sound fatter than the usual single coils of a strat. It can handle heavier music, but still clean up really nicely. If you're looking for that strat quack, you'd probably want to get a standard SSS or HSS.

There are so many reasons this guitar has been around so long and still so popular and copied. This classic guitar is just amazing and magic. There isn't anything really that I can add that you probably haven't already read. Just get a nice leather strap to hold up the weight, and you're good to rock forever. Mine is in the natural finish, which is very classy looking.

This was the first guitar I ever got. It has surprisingly good pickups in my opinion. I still play around with this guitar every once in a while. I love that it has an explorer-style headstock. I think that is a fun touch. It doesn't stay in tune very well. When I was first learning I hated that I always felt I was tuning, but you get used to it. I may get some better tuners and nut for it so I can keep rocking it for longer.

The overdrive channels sound really good. It might not be quite Marshall-tube like, but I still love it. I haven't had any of the reliability issues that I've seen in some reviews here and other places. I had a band back in high school, and it traveled to a few different shows without any issues. I don't play nearly as loud as I used to, but I've had this amp now for probably 18 years, and it's still alive. The reason I don't give it a full five is that I don't find the AC Sim or the Clean Channels all that great. The AC Sim is just too quiet. Even when using a boost, there is a big drop off. The Clean channel is okay, but nothing to write home about. And even though all of the built-in effects are very nice and easy to use, you can only run one at a time. It would be nice to mix and match them, but I guess that is what pedalboards are for. If you don't have the money for a tube Marshall, I think this is a great alternative.

I typically use this pedal as a boost to my OD channel because I like the natural tones of it, but this pedal is also great on the clean channel to get different OD tones. There are 10 different diode clipping settings, which can be adjusted so many different ways with the volume, tone, drive, depth and texture knobs. You can make all kinds of OD sounds. I don't know why this drive isn't talked about more. I have to admit I got mine for free via an Instagram contest, but I would buy this pedal. I highly recommend.

I never thought I would be one of those guys using a headless, fanned-fret guitar, but here I am, and I'm loving it. The guitar is so easy to play. I thought the fanned frets would throw me off, but I took to it immediately, and the upper access to the high notes is amazing. The pickups aren't the greatest clean sound, but it is interesting. Where this guitar shines is with high gain/distortion/fuzz. Oh my goodness I love the tones that this guitar makes when driven. There isn't a tone knob, but the volume control is very responsive. It feels like when you change the volume, it also changes the tone as well because I get completely different sounds depending on the volume. Another plus is that it already has a rout for batteries if you want to install active pickups. I think I'm going to continue using the standard pickups on it for now, but it is nice to have the option for actives in the future. I love it. As simple as that. Mine is only the 6-string version. I may have to get a 7 or 8 string in the future. This guitar has me impressed.

This is an analog delay, and it does it delay really well. I compared it to the MXR Carbon Copy and a couple other delays while I was in the store, and just enjoyed this much more. The controls are very straight forward. It also has chorus or vibrato modulation (depending on how you have it set), which can help you make some really space, cool tones. All of this power is contained in a mini-pedal enclosure which is great if you need space. I would recommend this pedal to anyone.

Oh how I love this pedal. I've been growing tired of the tones from my amp. I needed something that could give me the sound I've had in my mind. I have another OD pedal that can get close, but it still wasn't right. I've wanted a Friedman amp for a long time, but couldn't afford to spend that kind of money. I figured why not take a shot at this. I figured even if it wasn't quite the real thing, it would be close. I'm so happy I pulled the trigger. The two channels are great since one is slightly less gain, and they both sound amazing. It is a hot-rodded Marshall in a box. It nails the sound I want without having to drop a ton of money.

I got this guitar for cheap while I was in college because I only brought an acoustic with me, and I was missing playing electric. I didn't have much money, but I found this one at a local guitar store, and bought it right away. Compared to my other cheap guitars, this one was the best playing. The neck is nice and thin, which is what you expect out of Ibanez, and I loved that it had the two tones, two volumes and three-way switch. I liked all of the pickup combos. Sure there are some flaws, which is why I'm not giving it 5 stars. Some of the parts were obviously done cheaply. The output jack wasn't great, one of the strap buttons got loose pretty much right away and always felt like it might pull out at any time. It also wasn't the best sounding clean guitar. But to rock out, this guitar did the job. If you're able to snag one of these as your first guitar, you can't do much better than this one.

A lot of people make fun of this amp online (in particular because of the Insane mode), but I felt when I kept it clean or the lower dirt channels, it worked well. It was loud and clear, and it's plenty of wattage to get over drums. There were some funky things about it like if you try to manually change something away from your presets, there would be volume drops or big jumps depending where you're coming from. It was best just finding one base tone that I liked and staying there instead of switching around.
