Nice simple Vintage / Modern Fuzz
Switch between vintage Germanium and modern Silicone style fuzz, Not too much adjustment on the level of fuzz, just an input dial to boost the signal going into it if needed and a subtle "colour" dial which adds some tone shaping - big difference with the GE / SI switch. Unlike a distortion type pedal, this doesn't "clean up" when you dial it back, the input just helps you to control the signal going in to achieve the best fuzz character for your pickups

Awesome High gain Distortion
This thing is amazing, instant screaming feedback at the stomp the button. A bargain, loads of control, transparent tone, fantastic responsive harmionics

Go to Acoustic Dreadnaught
Nice silk finish to the body that's aged really well over time, Had this about 10 years, The preamp hasn't worked so well for a while, but it's a nice guitar with a full bodied tone without being too big.

Easy to use multi effects
Great range of good sounding effects with proper knobs and dials to play around with - fantastic value for anyone starting out with guitar effects - had this for years and it till works and looks as if it's brand new. Using it more for home practice recently as I find it's a bit easy to switch in and out of memory / tuner mode in a live situation - but it's convenient to get out and use in a hurry

Fantastic - Flexible "Tube Like" amp
These things are awesome - got it off ebay for £250, bargain, I use it live, no worries, it's plently loud enough and with the 6V6 tube setting has loads of headroom and real fender character if you want it, and Marshall, Vox, Messa, pretty much any style of amp is there for you to discover, save and recall - with massive tube like power it's a 60W digital amp that has the same punch as an equivalent valve amp, without braking the bank or your back.

Pride and Joy
It's awesome - I've recently adapted it a little with split coils and a push pull tone pot but it's a fantastic looking and great playing guitar - the finish is flawless and I've had it for years!

It's a compressor - nuff said
Nice subtle squash - perfect for single coils, it's a compressor, is it worth going nuts on such a subtle effect? it does the job very well, I leave it on the whole time, it's tonally transparent and doesn't suck too much unless you really turn up the attack.

Great tone and chrunch for some amps - but not others
Works great on EL34 valves such as Marshall amps, not so great with 6V6 valves as used in fender amps. Volume is a bit loud, but as the gain works very differently with different valve types it's worth a giving it a go.

Nice and simple chorus
A little bright when engaged, but a simple straight forward analog chorus with true bypass for not much money.

Great, simple delay
Solid, quiet, transparent analog (style) delay, a fraction of the price of a similar USA made one, fantastic for slapback and echo trails, simple to use and play with.

Great tube screamer clone
Great tube screamer clone at a fraction of the price - it may be a cheep clone, but it's solid, quiet and full of tone. In a sea of other cheep clones, some which you can find along side the real thing in your local store - why pay more?

Great toolbox for all kinds of options
Everything you might ever need for that one song that needs an effect you don't have or use very often.
