I've owned the guitar for around a year now. The multiscale design provides very good string tension and tuning stability. The thin c-shaped neck makes the wide fretboard easy to adjust to for a first time eight-string player. For stock pickups the Schecter Diamond Heretics provide great clarity and a tight sound on high-gain tones for most genres. I've wanted to play an eight-string for some time to play songs from guitarists like Tosin Abasi and Misha Mansoor. Overall, this is an exceptional instrument for anyone looking to transition into the world of extended-range guitars delivering premium features, great tone, and excellent stability without a massive learning curve.

This is the eighth synthesizer I bought. Not my number one recommendation as a first synthesizer because of 2 reasons. One it's very expensive. Two it's a re-issue of a very old synthesizer and therefore extremely limited. On the other hand it has a very simple and intuitive layout that many later synths are based on. Because it can't store sounds you are forced to create every sound from scratch. Meaning that you will learn synthesis very quickly. On top of that, it has a great sound. It sounds fatter than basically any other synth that I know of, but it still remains musical and pleasant to the ear. Unlike for example the MS-20 which sounds much cheaper and can get totally gnarly (which has it's own use). I bought this synthesizer because even though I owned 5 analogue synths (and 2 digital) I often reached for a Model D vst and I was a bit embarrassed by that. I tried to recreate the sound of the Model D vst's on my Subsequent 37, and I can get great sounds out of that one as well, but it just can't do every sound the Model D can. It misses the third oscillator and it sounds too flat. The Model D is also nice to look at and a joy to work with. Very inspiring.

Very sturdy and well made. The metal feels like it is indestructible. The travel is smooth and everything works just great. I wish my HX stomp worked better with it by default or the pedal came with better setup instructions as I had to guess my way to getting the toe switch to work as Switch 8. But overall a great buy!

You don't come across many Crowther Hot Cake clones, even though that pedal is arguably as mythical as the Klon Centaur. I've been looking for one for quite some time. After all, it's the drive pedal of some of my favorite guitarists, including Jeff Parker and Nels Cline.

This affordable clone from the French-Canadian builders at GupTech was exactly what I needed to understand what all the fuss is about. What I like most about this pedal is how huge it sounds while still preserving much of the clarity and character of the guitar's clean signal. The dynamics are impressive - you can go from barely dirty to almost fuzzy and gnarly simply by changing your pick attack.

Legend has it that the original was conceived with Vox amps in mind. I've used this clone with Marshall and Fender amps as well, and it absolutely kills. Highly recommended.
