Gear 5

I've used this for a lot of my work, and I don't regret it at all. It has great amounts of distortion, but it doesn't block out any tone. It's an amazing pedal for its price!
When I first bought this, I was so excited to get it, with its very heavy distortion and variety of effects. But it was a huge disappointment to find out that the only reason there's such heavy distortion is to block out its crap tone. Since then, I've learnt to do your research before investing money into such junk.
Not only does it look absolutely stunning, but it's great for pretty much any genre, rock, metal, folk, etc. The Bigsby tail piece is also a great addition, and the guitar stays in tune very well.
This was the first electric guitar I ever bought, and it has battle scars galore! But it hasn't failed me yet. It doesn't matter what you do to it, drop it, step on it, smash it against your wall, it'll come back in one piece. This guitar is great if you're going for a very "in your face" punk-ish tone. My only complaint with this guitar is that the G string always goes out of tune after a few minutes of playing.
This guitar, although quite expensive for what you get, is a great piece of gear! I've had some problems in the past with it never staying in tune, but after a quite visit to my local Long & McQuade, I haven't had a problem with it since. The tone can be very aggressive, but also very jazzy and soothing. It's a very diverse sounding guitar and I'm proud to say I own it!
