Fun, interesting, and definitely worth a try!
This may be one the most intuitive and straightforward synth pedals out there that still gives you quite a bit to work with. Being that it is an analog synth pedal, the sound from a bridge pickup is incredibly unstable but there are very easy ways to get that grit back to you tone. Now if unpredictability is what your interested in, it does sound fantastic. Anything below around the seventh fret is also pretty sputtery, but that is also the nature of the beast that is an analog synth pedal. Overall, this is a fine pedal for anyone looking for that 8-bit, square wave synth sound.

One Solid Bass
This was the first instrument I owned and I'm very happy I chose this model. My model is a 2-tone sunburst made in 2006. Recently I went about replacing all of the electronics including the pickup with vintage correct parts; paper in oil capacitors, cloth insulated wire, etc. Listening to music from the era this bass and the wiring configuration would be used, it sounds spot on. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a sharp looking bass with fantastic tone to back it up.

Great tone but clunky and lack of control
While this pedal excels at being a solid phaser and pan, it is a mammoth of a pedal. The edges are a tad sharp and my feet have the scars to prove that as well. The controls are about as simple as they can be but one could also see that as a selling point I presume. Regardless, it is a wonderful sounding combo pedal and one that I would recommend to anyone serious about these two effects.

A huge value
Aside from the fact that I found one used for less than half the price of a new one, a new hot rod deluxe is still an absolutely worthwhile purchase. It greatly reflects how fender makes some of the most high quality amps money can buy. The cleans are crystal and for blues or hard rock, even some Sabbath style metal, the dirt channel is pretty satisfying. Overall I would recommend this amp to anyone looking for a versatile workhorse of an amp.

Super versatile
An amazingly versatile and great sounding amp. I threw in a cannabis rex to replace the seventy 80, but even before that it sounded fantastic.

Brutal grating fuzz
An incredibly reliable fuzz from one of the best companies out right now. Very flexible and harsh at the same time. No pedals work together better than Earthquaker Devices.

Crushing fuzz
Definitely a must have if you're at all into fuzz. Literally creates an impenetrable wall of rib rattling noise.

Incredibly solid and versatile instrument.
I got this guitar when I was about 14. I am 21 now and it works just as well as the day I brought it home. It has absolutely been put through it's paces. I wouldn't trade it for any other guitar.
