A very well-made guitar with a great feel. Got this guitar after one year of playing guitar, and has been a great improvement from the GRGR131EX-BKF, a low-entry Ibanez guitar. For a difference of nearly 300 euros, the improvement was evident. The bridge, the wood, and sounds were pretty good, and quite remarkable for solos. It is very heavy, though. The design is nice, but as you look deeper, it definitely doesn't look like a premium guitar. The pickups are probably the most "meh" part of the guitar. They were much better than what I had, but the RG-370AHMZ's Quantum pickups are the most replaceable part of the guitar. If you can do it/afford it, I strongly recommend upgrading. To sum up, the quality and the price is outstanding especially for intermediate guitarists, and if you can, upgrading the pickups will make you want to keep this guitar forever

This was one of the first pedals I've ever bought, so I was quite excited. The reverb has 3 modes with 2 types each (so 6 in total), besides the shimmer, they are very weak. The sound quality is decent, but the shimmer, personally, to my taste, does not sound very nice. One thing I was really disappointed with was that in just 6 months, the bypass suddenly stopped working (no, it was not the dry kill switch, which is pretty useless), I really hope my unit was faulty because I rarely used this pedal. Despite that it looks solid.

The dynamics and the tone of the reverb are pretty solid. It has plenty of modes, and almost every single one of them has nice sounds, but personally, the shimmer was my least favourite. I really like this pedal because even if you crank the settings, it respects the volume of the tone, and you get a surprisingly The Modulation reverb is an interesting mode, and I can definitely see myself using this in the studio for some ambient stuff. The Spring reverb is one of the least i have tried, but they do their job pretty well and they sound natural The Plate and Hall reverbs are again the least used, but they sound nice The Room reverb is very good. The Dynamic mode is one of my favourites, clear example that despite cranking the settings up, it does not get "washy" and blurred, it lets you to be clear with the notes The Shimmer mode was decent, but again, it is personal taste, sounds a bit artificial for me The Delay mode is decent, but I wouldn't use it if I already had a delay, the MVP's of this pedal are the Plate, hall, dynamic and the room reverbs If I had the money, buy it. I don't regret buying this pedal, but, for the price, it lacks other settings like reverse reverb. If that's a concern , buy a polara.

Pitch shifting in real time requires a lot of processing power. I say this because once you go down, tone gets a little bit worse. This pedal is nice for gigging and rehearsing, because that means less time to change tunings especially if you have a floyd rose style bridge. **Of course this pedal is unthinkable for recording** The difference in tone is quite minimal, to be honest, and it handles bends very well, something that the Boss poly shifter struggles with. For distorted tones, it is ver good, but for cleaner guitar, be careful. one-4 semitones is fine, but lower than that, the difference is quite noticeable. The octave is meh.
