Great piece of gear to have in non-acoustically treated recordings
I didn't have couple thousand to spare for acoustic panels, (which are by the way the best thing you can ave in a home studio) so I go this and... it's great. I move around a lot and rarely stay in the same country more than 2-3 years so acoustic treatment with all the mounting and travelling is not the option for me. The thing is rather heavy but considering its size and robust structure its perfectly understandable. It absorbs well however you can still get reflections from behind your source (or at least in my case a singer) so hang up a duvette or a single acoustic panel and you're set! The thing comes packaged in pieces but its really easy to assemble.

Awesome modelling amp for practice and fooling around!
Great amp. While not super loud and powerful the modelling and effects on it are great. If you are just starting or haven't made up your mind on what style to play this amp will do just about anything. Its great for practice but it will do the job for a small cafe gig. Vox is a great brand in general and have not failed me with this one. Also it's really light. Perfect for traveling musicians. For the price easily one of the best amps out there.

Great guitar for the price and size
The guitar has considerable sound for the miniature body. Although if you're performing in front of any audience get yourself a good amp of plug into P.A. The fishman on it is a great preamp and the guitar is really though. (I dropped mine more than once and so far only couple visible scratches). Definately recommend for travelling and beginner guitarists as well as practice instriments!

Great Looper!
A great looping machine. The two pedals are all I need although sometimes I want a little bit more like The RC-300. It might be a little expensive if its your first guitar effect or you're just starting but its well worth it. If you want an older, cheaper thing that is just as functional I recommend checking out the RC-20. I like it for being virtually indestructible and I even sometimes use the built in effects. The mic input is awesome for vocal looping. If you wanna see what you can do with it check out Ed Sheeran. IMO best looping artist out there. Bernhoft too. He isn't as well know but his C'mon talk is epic(uses RC-300).

Ed Sheeran's really famous nowadays, specifically in the UK. In fact, once I watched this video where Ed uses a Chewie looper to loop his guitar sounds.
