The tones!
This was the first pedal I've owned it is great. When the drive is down it gives you a good crackle to your tones but when the drive is high you get a really good punchy sound. The perks of the pedal are you can shape your tones just to really dig into that signature sound your looking for. The only reason I didn't give it a 5th star is that it wasn't able to give me the tone I was looking for. It felt like a very low end boosted pedal to me. Even when I cut out the dbs it didn't have that oomf i needed

Torture Test Approved
My band and I when we bought our 3 Shure Mics decided to do a closed practice set and gained up all of our mics to see what our gain to volume limits needed to be these mics can be gained nearly all the way to 11 without giving you that very common feedback that is a plus in my book. Also the tone! The spectrum that this mic is able to pickup is great nearly perfect to an actual amplification of the voice. Yes mics are supposed to do that I'm aware but most mics tend to cut out natural tones when not near the 'sweet spot.' Just buy this and see for yourself

best of both worlds
Solid State and Tube Powered This amps gives you that beautiful tube tone while using its presets to sound like any of the VOX line I prefer using the AC30 sound without buying the AC30 yes i know i should probably get one

if you like the simualtin you may not like a real ac30, the valvetonix tone controls don't behave like real top boost tone controls, they re way easier to dial in. The ac30 never sounds bad, but its a surprisingly tricky beast to tame. Mining the most iconic vox tones out of one requires a lot of fiddling around wth the controls and bridging the channels and such. Its more plaug n play than a marshall plexi, but when you fire her up and have at it it may not be what you're expecting. The Customs and Custom Classics are voiced a little brighter and less midrangey than any other ac30 and will be more of what you're expecting from the valvetronix, but I still recommend getting a current production handwired or a 90s RI for the build quality. But seriously, if you play an early 60s coper panel it might surprise you. theya re really hot, midrangey amps with less pronounced jangle than people expect unless you set them in really extreme ways. Killer amps, love mine, not the jangly clean machine people think they are getting and very finicky with pedals into the top boost channel.

GET IT
If you are playing this guitar and not sold on how it sounds acoustically you better plug this bad boy in a learn. If there is one thing Ibanez does right is create some great pickups and their acoustic line is no different

Idk about you but this
Idk about you but this guitar provides a fat full body tone with a smooth hand feel definitely a good buy for the price although mine is modded with PRS pick ups this guitar will give you exactly what you need

Cuts the fat off
If you want to really crank up the gain on a lead line but don't want to split every listeners brains out with your dang screechy feedback this pedal will definitely cut out the fat and leave you with delicious meaty tone

Its exactly that
Standard reverb pedal that does exactly what you want been around for years no need for a change

Great Purchase
This pedal is a game changer, if you are unsure of how it will sound checkout the intro on Faithfully by Journey this was the same pedal that Neal Schon used and its beautiful

Why didn't I get this sooner
This is my most recent pedal buy but Keeley made a great pedal here. It provides clear sustain that doesn't get in the way. I have it on all the time as a constant on my board now and it really gives my sound that freshly recorded clarity you would hear on your favorite tracks. GO GET THIS PEDAL

My new go to OD
Trying to find the perfect sound for my band and myself I have discovered this pedal. I recently used the WAY HUGE Green Rhino, then a TS-9, But this pedal has a certain fullness about it that makes it amazing the left switch gives you a solid MARSHALL sound and the right switch can act as a boost or as a TS-9 by itself! Its very versatile and i recommend it to anyone looking for a Worship or Alternative tone

Strong Pedal to keep around!
I currently use this pedal as an alternative OD on my board for when I want a different sound or maybe cut through with a boosted lead on a track/ set
This pedal provides a very Bold sound reminiscent of the tones of many late 80s early 90's bands like the FOO FIGHTERS or Nirvana
It does require an adapter as far as powering the pedal but once its on its on
