Pure gold

The power supply works perfectly fine and each input is completely isolated, which results in zero noise (I was quite sceptic about this at the beginning, but it was a nice surprise!). Its finish is very cool, and it's very solid, plus it also comes with some cables and power supply for its immediate use. Best deal or the money.

SM57 knock off.

It's clearly a cheap version of the Shure SM57, but it works pretty fine for recording guitars as well as vocals. I'm also currently using it for doing the backing vocals for my band and it works like a charm.

The best one to get started

I purchased mine about a year ago and I've recorded lots of demos for my band and other projects with it. It works pretty well, but the enclosure is made of cheap plastic and it does not give it a solid appearance. If you're not sure about getting into recording and producing and it's your first time working with an audio interface it's the best option out there.

The best money can buy

It's pretty solid and there's room for about 8-10 pedals depending on their dimensions. Also, it's a total bargain for the price, not many pedalboards offer such space at its price range.

Cool and useful

Great looking cables, plus they let the signal go through with no problem.

Nice guitar

I currently own a 2014 and it's a great sounding guitar. Besides, the coil splitting feature really makes it a versatile instrument. The only negative aspect is that it's heavy as can be, but I guess that's the norm with LPs.

Nice tone, but not the easiest guitar to play

I used to have a 2016 Epiphone Casino in natural finish and it sounded great, but it had very important feedback issues. If you plan to gig it it may not big the best option out there. Plus, Chinese made Casinos haven't a great quality for the price tag, so I'd rather go find a Korean at least. I sold mine because in the end I didn't play it.

One of the best Rivieras out there

It's the best instrument I've ever played (I just can't stop playing my 1994!). The fame of the quality controls of Peerless factory in Korea (where most of these were made) is not a myth: the guitar has a confortable neck, a great resonance and a brilliant response to any genre from dirty metal to clean jazz. Plus, it stays perfectly in tune and it's not very heavy. 10/10

Best one for the price

It has a really solid construction and you can get a good tone from it. Nevertheless, it's quite fizzy.

Top quality

It's just amazing. It's built like a tank and it doesn't saturate the signal. It's quite expensive to only feature one knob, but it's more than enough and it's totally worth the price.

Mixed experience

It sounds pretty good (you can't get anything better for the price), but like all the other Behringer pedals, the main negative aspect is its construction. The plastic enclosure feels pretty fragile, but it's there where the low pricing comes from. Furthermore, the switch does not work properly 100 times because of its cheap manufacturing, so you need to be aware where you step on because it won't turn on/off when using it. I'll gig it in a couple of weeks and update this review, but I've had some trouble with it in rehearsals.

EDIT: It's a nightmare of a pedal for live use. the switch fails both at turning on or off, the jack cables plug out easily (yesterday I almost went nuts trying to see why my guitar wasn't sounding and it was precisely because of this). In conclusion... home use OK, but not for live use.

BOSS quality

Solid, accurate, it's a BOSS pedal, what else can I say? I bought mine about a year ago and it has never let me down.

Sweetest tone (while they last)

Guitar strings are a complete different dimension. I've used packages that lasted bright for months and others which lost all their tone in a couple of weeks. Same with fragility: some of them last for months (I'm currently using a 5+ month set on my LP) and others breaking just by looking at them.

It depends.

The best one to get started into FX and amps

It's not the best sounding amp out there and it's quite fizzy, but it's cheap and it's a good way to get into the world of guitar FX and experimenting with different amps (Marshall style, Fender style, etc.). Nevertheless, it's pretty solid and I wouldn't mind gigging it (it's super loud, actually).

All-star

You cannot get a super-boutique tone from this cab, but damn, does it sound pretty solid! It's also the lightest cab I've ever ran into (I'm not very strong and I can lift it myself), so that's something to consider regarding transportation.

Absolute monster

One of the best amps I've ever played. The only negative point is that you cannot get a clean tone from it unless you lower your guitar volume (hence the 4 stars). Otherwise is pretty damn fine. The crunch tone is amazing (bit crunchy for my taste but I can tolerate that) and it takes pedals pretty well.

Best amp I've ever played.

You can't get any better amps than this by this price. Just a super-Fender clean tone, what else can I say. The overdrive channel is kinda soulless, tho.
