I got this guitar after I had found a large crack in my Ed Sheeran Multiply Signature Model. This is very close in tone and I love to use it. It is now my go to guitar while my other one is being fixed
I bought this guy after finding myself wanting a bit bigger of a guitar. I mostly played LX1E's up until now. I wanted it to still feel like my other little guitars though. So I set out to find something similar. This is honestly the best of both worlds. It's not a huge body but big enough to not sound boxy. The body is also around the same width as the LX1E, so there wasn't any discomfort there. I had played some Dreadnaughts and couldn't bring myself to like them since I felt like the strings were much further from my body than my LX1E. The pickup is just alright. I'm still trying to find that EQ sweet-spot for it but I have faith that I will. Honestly, if you are on the edge of buying this guitar, you definitely should. It's great to take places and is easy playing. Highly recommend this piece of gear!
I love this little guitar. It's the perfect size to travel with and the sound quality is great. This guitar was the one that made me switch to Martin
I made this pedal with the idea of having an "unlimited" looping experience. The pedal itself is just a glorified keyboard. It sends keyboard commands to a laptop using a program called Mobius. The functionality of it is based on Ed Sheeran's Chewie Monsta pedal. However, I wanted to split the record/overdub and the play/mute functions into separate pedals. I haven't had any issues with it and at the point of writing this I have played around 6 shows with it and have had no issues. It has a very solid construction and can take a beating. There are 4 channels to loop to. These channels are GTR (or Guitar), PRC (or Percussion), RC30 (it functions like the boss loop station series), and VOX (or vocals). Each channel has different effects and eq. GTR has a standard guitar eq with a little bit of reverb. The PRC is bass boosted to have a punchy sound on the percussive hits. The RC30 channel is eq'd like a standard loop station would be with a tiny bit of reverb for color. The VOX is high-passed with reverb. It's a pretty standard sound but I'm extremely happy with it. The loops are only limited by the amount of RAM that is installed in the computer. This pedal took a ton of time to make but it was worth it. If you have any questions about it, please contact me on here.
I am a bit bias towards this product, since I made it. It's nothing really special. It actually a glorified keyboard. My laptop is the brains of this looper. It runs a donation funded program called MOBIUS. Link to download for yourself: http://www.circularlabs.com/. I use it as a VST plugin in Ableton but that isn't necessary, you can run it straight through the program itself. To explain what is going on, when I play live with this set up, I use an acoustic guitar and two vocal mics (one running through the looper and one going straight to the house mixer). I have MOBIUS set up with some custom scripts for the pedals to activate. With that in mind, here's what the different pedals do. In the bottom row, we have the first button (the white arcade button) which is the Play All button. Essentially, this looper has 4 different tracks to record to and this Play All button starts all four of them at once. Then the next button in the bottom row is the Stop All button. Then the next four green buttons are the Play/Stop buttons for each individual tracks. The first track is only recording my guitar and I have it EQ'd normally. The second track is only recording my guitar but the EQ on this track is heavy on the bass tone. This second track is what I use for my percussion. The third track acts like a Boss RC-30 or RC-300 would. It records both the guitar and the vocal mic into it. The EQ on this is set to be the same as the EQ on the first track. Then the fourth track only records vocals. I have the EQ on this track set to be about the same as the EQ for the mic that is going straight into the house mixer. I also tend to throw different effects on this track depending on the song. Some songs it's reverb or chorus or even distortion. It just depends on the sound that I'm trying to achieve. The top row is a little different. The first button on the top row (the blue button to the farthest left) is the Clear All button. Basically, it clears out all of the loops/overdubs that are on each of the tracks to make room for the next song/loop. The next button (the next blue one) is an Undo button. It will undo the last overdub that has been recorded on the selected track. I find this button to be very powerful. You can press it multiple times to clear out all of the recordings on to that specific track if you want to take the song in a different direction or (if you're like me) have made a mistake and want to try again. The next four buttons (the red ones) are the record buttons for each individual track. It's how you start and complete a loop. Remember, this is just the prototype, the finished product will be better built and will use actual footswitches.
I bought this guy when I decided that I needed to dive into the world of digital mixers. I was finding major limitations with my analogue mixer and didn't want to spend anymore on it. So, budget-wise, this was what fit for me. I haven't used every feature yet but I do like the recording straight to a flash drive option. It's not a multi-track recording but still nice to have. I'm liking the effects, however finding that I need to use them in much moderation. The EQ and Compressor are a great feature. Wishing there was more options for integration with DAWs and/or WAVES Plugins but it's a great stepping stone to possibly getting a mixer like that someday. If you have a Small Band or play a Solo show, I'd recommend this.
I got these speakers because my shows were growing and the little 60w PA that I was using just wasn't cutting it anymore. These are loud and have got some great bass to them! These are my main speakers at the moment and have very little issue with them. They can get overloaded easy but other than that, these guys are great!
This little thing is amazing. There are 6 different types of inputs on this device. 2 of them have pre-amps built in and allow you to use either an XLR input or a 1/4" (TRS) input. There are 2 other inputs that allow you to use 1/4" (TRS) inputs but not XLR and also do not have pre-amps. The other inputs are a MIDI input and a SPDF input (RCA connection). This is more inputs than I would ever need, however it is nice to be able to expand if I need to. This thing also feature dual headphone out ports with individual volume controls for each of them. This is great for collaborating with people on certain projects. I highly recommend this device.
I added this little guy to my show. I wanted to be able to have complete control of the sound that was coming out of the keyboard. I am actually not a great keyboard player at all. However, I feel like I can really use this thing. I also use the other midi functions to turn on and off reverb effects that I use.
I use these Elixir strings all the time. They are the only strings that I buy now. Either these or the other Nanoweb by Elixir. I switch back and forth between the two every few months. Ever since I've play Elixir strings I will never play anything else...well, unless something better comes along.
I mentioned in my other selection of Elixir strings that I go back and forth between these and those ones. For acoustic, all I use are one of these two Nanoweb strings. I would recommend them to anyone.
I needed microphones with really good quality on the cheap. I found this little set on amazon and was immediately drawn in. These mics are very well made and hold up to a lot of abuse. I use them for my live show and have never gotten feed from them...now that I say that, it'll probably happen at my next show!
I bought this little mixer because I wanted to be able to add different effects to different inputs. I mainly only use the reverb on it, I believe the effect number is 19. Powerful eq's on this little mixer make it a good choice at an even better cost!
This was the pedal that I went with when I decided that I was going to play shows. It has 3 time synced tracks that you can record to. This was great when I needed to get my head around the idea of playing different parts to a song on different tracks. However, I did find some limitations with is pedal. There are only 2 outputs that can be used on this pedal. A "main out" and a "sub out". I really wished there was a third output so I could eq and put different effects on the channels separately. Also, to make sure that the processor in the board can handle the recordings, the audio gets compressed. Not too much at first, but once you begin to layer more and more on one track, the audio becomes distorted. And, I never really touched the on-board effects with the RC-300. They never really suited my needs.
I bought this because I am building an new loop station around the program Mobius. Basically, I needed a low/zero latency interface to get my guitar and mic signal into my laptop. This came highly recommended from a friend and so I went with it. It was a great choice.
This was the first great sounding acoustic guitar that I ever bought. I now play a Martin that I love but I will always have a special spot in my heart for this guitar. Beautiful bright tones come out of this thing and the model that I have has a Fishman pickup in it with a lot of tone control on the guitar itself. The line jack/strap knob came loose and has messed with the electronics in the guitar, so I don't really use it live anymore. Maybe I'll fix it and use it again someday.
I don't play electric guitar as often as I play acoustic. However, when I do pick up an electric, I tend to pick up this one. Obviously, this isn't quite as good as a Standard Fender Strat, but this guitar has a great tone range for the price.
I bought this little inexpensive tuner mainly to cut the feed from my guitar and my loop station on the fly, just incase I needed to unplug and change guitars in the middle of a song. The pedal itself is mostly plastic and sometimes creates static noise is bumped. As for the tuning part of it, when it registers the signal, it's very accurate. However, the low E on a standard guitar can be hard for it to pickup. It does however pretty cleanly cut the audio coming through it when it's turned on, which was the whole reason I bought it. So, I can't complain too much.
This PA system is a good starter one. I wouldn't recommend it for anything larger than a bar. I've used it for a few gigs and have now upgraded but to start out these are good. If you can swing it, I would recommend that you get the bigger brother with 120 watts.
