All Around Amazing Tuner Pedal
This tuner is a pedal that always stays on my board no matter what gig I attend. The precision on this pedal is exactly how good every tuner should be, and the options to be able to tune down are just incredible. Not a whole lot to stay, because it is just an amazing pedal, and every musician should have this on their board. ALWAYS.

Smooth, fantastic sounded Analog Delay, with incredible effects.
This delay always remains on my board. I find this pedal is great for setting ambient, spacy delays, that fill up the room while your rhythm section fills out a progression to lead into the main riff of the piece. This delay has 600ms of pure, analog tone. I can get anything from slapback, to very slow, U2/Pink Floyd type sounds. The added chorus just makes this pedal more unique. It gives it an almost, "warble" effect. The added tone controls let you control the brightness or darkness of the delay, as well as how muhc dry signal is getting pushed through. This is one of my favorite delays to use, the only thing I wish it had was a tap tempo (But sadly, analog pedals usually dont have this feature.)

Top Overdrive on the market for the price, very versatile
Although this pedal is not on my board anymore, when it was, it was my primary overdrive. This pedal is very versatile in the face that if can go anywhere from a clean boost, to seering distortion. Ive played metal with this, blues, boosted jazz solos, the whole works. he 2 band EQ really gives this pedal even more versatility, because if your amp is bass heavy, just roll back the bass on the pedal and boom, flat EQ distortion. I love this pedal because of all the different types of tones that come from it. It is a shame that Boss discontinued this pedal, it did so well.

Amazing head for clean tones, takes pedals very well, and can give you a variety of tone.
This is my main head for my Jazz rig. This head takes 6L6 tubes, and is 70 watts. This amp has an amazing, warm tone. The head has always given me a clear, crisp tone. But remember that this head is old, and will not give you a bright tone. I find this amp is made especially for jazz players, or even blues players. I used to pedal all my overdrives through it to play Pop/Punk, but later found out that this amp sounds the best when just played straight. I use this for my cleans in my studio, because this amp hits my ideal tone right on the money. I recommend this amp to anyone looking for a straight, warm clean amplifier. The only thing I would get done to this amp is get it serviced, It's had some miles put on it.

Amazing amp all around, anything from Pop/Punk to Metal to Country.
This amp is an amp that is used constantly in my studio. I use this head with a JCM 900 4x12 cabinet, and it gets those classic Marshall tones everyone is talking about. What people do not realize about this amp is that the clean tones are AMAZING. They sparkle, chime, just like any other amp would. But they are original to Marshall. These tones are not meant to emulate a "Fender Clean", or a "Vox Clean". These are Marshall Cleans. I find I have to set this amp a little bit brigher then my normal settings to get the clarity in the overdrive that I am looking for. When you switch to the clean channel, since there is only 1 EQ for 2 channels, the cleans are a bit bright. I woulod recommmend buying an EQ pedal for your clean tone, to bring out the bass frequencies and tone down the highs. I would recommend this amp to anyone who is looking for that classic Marshall look, and is someone who loves that british tone. Great amp overall, and have had no problems.

Perfect noise reduction pedal for 60 cycle hum
This pedal is one of the greatest investments that I have ever made. This pedal gets rid of the 60hz hum perfectly. I use this while I play my tele and my strat, and I have zero problems with any hum coming FROM THE GUITAR. That is what this pedal is made for. This not meant to reduce noise coming from the gain off the amp. This is meant to get rid of hum from the guitar, and it does the job perfectly. I would recommend this pedal to anyone who is looking to reduce noise in their rig.

Classic Tele tones, easy in any genre, and gorgeous to play.
I have owned this guitar for under 1 year. This has been my guitar of choice for Jazz. The neck pickup gets to clearest, and warmest tones I have heard out of a tele. The Texas Special Pickups make this tele sound a little bit warmer then something like an American Standard. The neck is the highlight of this axe. This neck is satin, which gives you hand the ability to slide without sticking to the back. The neck is easy to move on, and is easily the main reason why I own this guitar today. This Tele can give you the sounds for any style of music. I have played Pop/Punk through my Marshall with this, and Jazz through my Fender Bassman head. This guitar is versatile, and will always be one of my top favorites. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a little bit of a warmer tele.

Great gigging guitar, and easy to upgrade.
I've had this guitar for just over 3 years now. This beast of an instrument has been my primary guitar for the majority of my gigs in the past years. This is beacuse this guitar has a very smooth (although glossy) neck, is carved in the back for easy comfort, and is an all around great rock guitar. I use this mainly in my Pop/Punk band, but I have used this guitar for anything from Metal to Jazz. The only reason this one is not 5 stars is because the pickups are just not the best. If you are looking at buying this instrument, be prepared to probably upgrade your pickups as well. They are great for distorted tones, but they are muddy ad unclear when it comes to cleans. This guitar is an amazing purchase for anyone who is looking for a Tele style guitar, that can get those beefy, chunky tones. Overall, definitely recommend.

Amazing guitar for the price, can't go wrong.
I have had this guitar for just over 1 year now, and I have nothign bad to say about it. This guitar does it all. The body contours are comfortable, and are placed in just the right spot to sit in any position. The ebony fretboard glides with ease, with easy access to every fret on the neck. The locking tuners and floating bridge go hand in hand, and barely go out of tune. The pickups are hot and spanky, getting your those hot classic rock tones, to strat single coil, to jazz neck humbucker. The Piezo Bridge system is incredible! Probably the most reaslistic acoustic simulator I have heard. Controls are always in an accessable spot, and I have no trouble moving around this guitar. The Synth Output is a great feature, although I have not used it, I am slowly aquiring the gear to be able to use it. This guitar is every studio musicians dream, and is the ultimate tool for any genre. Even though my version of this is a Natural Flamed Koa Top, the one displayed in an incredible finish.
