Decent First Wah

This is the first pedal I have ever bought and I got it cheap second-hand. It worked when i got it, but there is plenty of crackle coming through the amp when it is plugged in, and the screws for the pedal were too loose. I will put this down to the previous owner, but I can't complain for the price I paid for it.

Awesome crunch tones and features

The orange crush 35rt ticks a lot of boxes for a cheap amp. Varied and legitimate crunch and dirty tones are the name of the game for this amp. The dirty tones are where this amp excels, however the trade off for this is the lack of any sparkling clean tones. Although there is two channels, I find myself only ever using the dirty channel and turning the gain up and down.

The reverb works as intended and provides great depth to the amps tones. The tuner is a bit hit or miss in my use, it will sometimes struggle to get the pitch correct and is not as accurate as alternatives.

All the knobs and coverings feel very high quality and there are no complaints there. The bottom line is: this amp is great for a home practice amp if you love a very dirty sound. Do not buy this amp if you are looking for bell-like 'Fender' tones.

Excellent All-Rounder

This guitar got me back in to music after a 3 year hiatus. While I am by no means a virtuoso, the range tones this model can produce are very impressive for the price. This guitar is very much the jack-of-all-trades. The gloss neck was very easy to play, however I do not have sweaty hands so this may be a problem for other users. The neck shape suited me very well, with the neck joint and guitar in general having a very high level of craftsmanship at this price point.

I don't have anything bad to say about this guitar at all, but take my review with a grain of salt, as my previous guitar was an Ashton strat copy and I have not played a wealth of other models. This guitar is perfectly suited for intermediates who like to play a range of genres and tones.
