Gear 9

A hybrid between Fender and Ibanez JEM, can be used for a classic neck-middle single coil fender sound but has a Di Marzio Super Distortion for heavy parts. Flat fingerboard, comfortable for nylon-string players. Someone could argue that it's better to have a "proper" Fender and a "proper" Ibanez.
It's a really cheap guitar that looks and sounds like a much more expensive instrument. Arrived with truss rod completely loose, but, when set up, is really comfortable (large nut width) and has a nice sound for fingerpicking and for strumming. Gives its best when recorded line and mic simultaneously.
Pros: Compact rackmount unit, TONS of Boss and other brand pedals, mixed quality amp emulation (some good, some not so good), control of the effects via USB. Cons: Roland didn't bother to update the drivers for Windows 10, so you lose capability of connection to your PC (unless you are comfortable with hacking Win8 drivers and reinstall them every major Windows update)
Nice finish, comfortable glued neck joint, enough space between pickups for fingerpicked arpeggios. Good clean sound, doesn't have big tonal variety.
Very good sound quality, low latency, plenty of input and outputs. Some software bug (hopefully will go with next update)
After nearly 30 years, it looks and sounds like new. I still use it as a master keyboard, and has a few usable sounds.
I used Cakewalk software from 1994, and this version is really usable, cheap and full of possibilities. Sadly, it is no more updated, but a new version is developed by Bandlab, so we hope that the Cakewalk lineage will go on.
Gorgeous look, good natural sound, adequate pickup sound, acceptable price.
