Guitars 6

This guitar has so much guts right out of the box. You definitely won't need to upgrade a single thing if you simply want a kickass rock n roll guitar. This guitar has grit and can sound dirty or clean and stays in tune forever. I bought a V cos I saw Bob Mould use one in Husker Du on the Joan Rivers show. That performance blew me away. He made a V look super cool and sound awesome. This is my main stage guitar and it's never failed me in 12 years of live shows.
I use this as a back-up guitar to my Gibson V. I swapped the pick-ups from the generics to Seymour Duncan SH4's and it sounds so damn good and is the perfect back-up guitar for me. It's a dream to play too. I love this thing. I can only imagine what a Gibson Explorer must sound / play like if the Epi's sound this good.

Bass Guitars 1

Probably the nicest sounding bass guitar I have ever heard. This thing sounds incredible.

Effects Pedals 25

This pedal is perfect if you want that raw gritty dirty sound as heard by the New Bomb Turks. Crank it through a Marshall and voila, DESTROY O BOY!
If you are looking for a nice heavy tone for either high powered rock n roll, desert rock, stoner rock, whatever you wanna call it, this pedal should be a weapon of choice. I can't praise this pedal enough for all the awesome tones it brings. Buy one and you will be glad you did. This thing is hot!
I use it purely as a weaker overdrive which works well for a particular song's intro but then quickly change pedals once the guts and dirt is needed.
This is an amazing fuzz pedal that gives you a nice chunky fuzz with some serious sustain. I saw this on Matt Pike's pedalboard and looked it up and got one and am really damn happy with it. This is some serious fuzz awesomeness and if you like Pike's tone, this pedal will please your ears.

Amplifiers 4

There's a reason so many bands use it. It's loud, it's filled with guts and when you drive the pre-amp and crank some pedals like a Boss EQ through it, it sounds delicious!
An Ampeg fridge and an SVT head are costly and quite heavy. Thank god they brought out this thing. You still get a lot of the sound of an SVT without blowing all your cash. Sure, the SVT is gonna sound better but this still sounds great and you can really get some nice tones out of this thing.
