My Guitars 13

versatile sss guitar. They can take an absolute beating and due to their price this isn't something to get particularly worried about.
Great at high volumes, no hum whatsoever which can be found on some Epiphones.
Crazy how this little guitar can create such a big sound. I use this everywhere from the studio to Swansea beach and it is perfect for any situation.
great guitar and is very well built considering it's price. no sharp fret ends or fret buzz which is common for a 'cheaper' acoustic guitar.
best acoustic i've owned. The dynamic and tonal possibilities of this is absolutely incredible.
I was surprised when I played this guitar. Admittedly it was salvaged from a local school and covered in white emulsion paint but somehow after lots of wear and lack of care the guitar after a cleanup was still beauty and sounded great It’s one of my pride and joys and after my own finish modification it is who I am and a part of me. I love it
Absolutely first class instrument and the neck plays like butter. Pickups are extremely versatile and smooth
The neck is incredibly smooth and easy to play. The guitar on the whole has a good weight to it too. Plenty of sustain.

My Pedals 30

Does the job. Mute function is pretty handy for when you need to switch guitars
Best wah pedal out there for the money. Used by legends including Hendrix, SRV and Mayer
this thing is seriously impressive, there are so many tones and sounds you can get via the app and it's incredibly easy to control and finetune to fit your own tone!
the one I own is not new and definitely adds some noise but when being played it brightens up your tone making it ideal in live situations to add some texture and be heard when soloing.
It does the job although it is sadly a bit of a tone killer. However, it has masses of sustain and is definitely a good quality compressor. Built like a tank too!
It’s an amazing overdrive pedal which can provide a lovely clean boost and some gnarled driven tones. There’s no wonder why it’s so popular amongst the pros!
This pedal is gnarly, it's loud and adds a load of gritty fuzz to your tone. The best feature is most likely the 'starve' knob which changes the amount of power going through it giving it a dying 9v battery sound.
Pleasantly surprised at this budget friendly pedal. Got some great sounds in it to be fair
pretty sure this thing is indestructible, i've taken this down the beach and its ended up covered in sand and it still works with no issues
I am personally using it on vocals to add a very slight slapback delay effect.
Amazing. Picked it up for £70 and it is incredible. I can’t see myself ever parting with it
Can’t fault this incredible pedal. Looks cool, sounds cool and is overall very cool. Nice warm tone that is perfect with all the pickups and pedals I’ve used
This is an absolute astonishing pedal. It is so versatile! The room, hall and shimmer are all incredible and the exclusive wet signal is very interesting.
Really cool but annoyingly has a but a bit of a volume drop when at certain settings.
Great piece of kit but difficult to use. Need to know a bit of theory to use well
Extremely versatile. Offers light distortion to heavy thick fuzz tones
Grants an amazing volume boost with practically no tone colouring making it perfect for solos
Extremely versatile fuzz pedal which you can add delay to and also ‘freeze’
The pedal is incredibly well designed and is made to last. It is simple and intuitive, the momentary latch keys allow for so many possibilities.

My amps 7

great intuitive design. Provides great classic tones with the twist of a knob.
great little valve amp but don't let its size fool you, this thing is LOUD!!! It is without a doubt the best valve amp you can get for the money and is extremely versatile and dynamic.
Great budget/beginner amp. Loud and light making it great for new bands!
Excellent amp that takes pedals extremely well. the on board reverb and vibrato are amazing and more than makes up for its weight. It is a loud amp but it can be used in small rooms and bedrooms too.
