Definitely a pleasant surprise. It has plethora of options and one could spend hours tweaking with it. The presets that come with it are also pleasant and will work with any kind of guitar.

And both of them are trials! WinRar and REAPER trial. But for real though, a college student who cannot do much, REAPER has been a blessing for creating various recordings and sounds. It has plenty of options and it suits me just fine.

Guitars 2

It looks expensive, but it isn't really... It responds wonderfully to all kinds of genres, I haven't really tried it yet with the effects. It's an all-genre guitar, and it can do wonders if you play around with it. It's really heavy, and hour with it per day will bring you back problems, sooner or later. So, I would suggest sitting down while playing it, unless you don't want your spine shaped like question mark. EMG HZ pickups in it respond perfectly, on styles like Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith or something like that...it can be brutal, but it can also be gentle. Overall, it is a great guitar I haven't really explored... EDIT : This guitar is extremely good, it really suits me. The only thing that is the problem are the frets. They aren't done properly, so during bending and playing overall, a string can be stuck underneath the fret. Input jack isn't well done as well, as well as all the wires underneath it. They easily crack and make your guitar impossible to work with an amp, because you have to solder all the wires. However, tuners are rock solid, and guitar is holding tune really well. Well, unless if you break a string... EDIT2: My main guitar in 2019. EDIT3: I temporarily retired this guitar because of some issues with the electronics - the neck pickup is dead and there are some issues with the input jack.
Not sure if I chose the right version, but my my, this Dano can do wonders, especially on clean tone!

Studio Equipment 1

It works wonderfully, the latency is not even noticeable. A great, portable tool and if you were wondering why would one need to go digital...well, seek no further! A great, affordable interface for bedroom guitar players, just like myself.

Those came from my older Stratocaster. I installed those tuners on my acoustic, in order to track down noise and it worked! Awesome tuners!
If you have ever watched Eddy Wally saying wow for 10 hours like me, you would spend another 10 to say wow on those. Good grip, very tough, but still they do feel very natural in hand.
Amazing and awesome slide. This definitely does for open and alternate tunings!
I expected more of this pick. It just feels very unnatural in your hand. I would rather fingerpick or use Tortex picks instead.
0.6 for everything, just fascinating picks, I thought that this was just one piece of nylon...well, I was wrong. I also used 1.0 black picks for a few performances. Outstanding.
Not really much to say, very good capo, but Dunlop Trigger surpasses him...
I definitely recommend this pick for everybody that plays some kind of riffs or something. You can't go sloppy with it, it is amazing to play with it.
Wonderful picks, probably my first choice now, I replaced .60's with those, because strumming is very good and loud and soloing is better than ever.
As Billie Joe Armstrong uses those, I decided to buy some of them. They are amazing, and were my first choice, and I love them, but they are more for strumming. Also, for any kind of genre.
I've used few of them, and I strummed few times, later on, I found out that that my pick is falling apart. Seriously? I stopped using them, and switched to Tortex instead. What can you play with those picks?
My first picks, and picks that I use to this day. Absolute grip and good both for strumming and playing solos. Best picks Dunlop has ever made for any kind of rock and other genres except metal.

Strings 3

And yeah...they last long, they are very comfortable and those are a serious choice if you want to string a guitar.
Bright, punchy tone! I am rather impressed with what difference can strings make on your guitar. Even after a month of use, the tone is still as warm as the first day I put them on my guitar.

Very strong gain, but it is ideal to start out with!
Wow. For a 10-watt amp, I can say it keeps my neighbours awake all night:) As of 2017, this amp is out of use. It has been replaced by Peavey Backstage Plus.
As in the case of all cheap amps, many of them sound good on distortion but not good on other channels. Same with this one, definitely recommended to rock or punk players.
While I don't technically own this amp, I use it with my orchestra. Although it's intended to be used for acoustic guitar only, I have tried it with electric as well, and my-my, does it work! Reverbs and delays are more than enjoyable to use, especially if you have some kind of external pedal already on. Wonderful little amp, with a potential to be used as something much more than just an acoustic amp.
