Thrashy, funky, wanky, grungy well crafted instrument from japan and mapped out by no other than Kurt Cobain. If you dont mind little of that garage dirt in your playing then I seriously recommend trying to get your hands on one of these!

One of the classics, mind you. I think its the ideal pedal for beginners or for someones first pedalboard as a lower gain stage pedal. Also can be used as just a volume boost for solos.

Had this pedal ever since I remember even playing guitar. Even as a beginner I loved this pedal - It's the most user friendly pedal i own since you can dial in anything from mild overdriven sparkle of sort, to a heavy distorted fuzz tones while keeping the harmonical overtones very clear. Rat has its volume levels sorted out, unlike some distorions *coughucough* DS-1... The versatility comes from the relations you make between the filter knob and the gain. I use it in combination with low volume chorus to bring out even more of those harmonics and create sort of fat grungy sound..

There is a reason why this is a go to tremolo for so many guitarists. I got mine from a Black Lips show where they gave away their smashed gear - as they do - friend was lucky enough to get this one.

Unlike some more bold and better sounding chorus cousins this one doesn't draw so much attention to itself. Its like its a little more shy then the others. But its great and I especially like the blend knob - on lower volume I use it in conjunction with the RAT to have those overtones really coming out.

In the shadow of Boss TU series there lives a cheap variant-alternative-legend. And its this pedal.

My first delay pedal. It does exactly what you need for your playing. Unless youre in a band and you need a tap tempo delay so you are able to change the time freely during the show. In that case this pedal wont suit your needs...

My first guitar. Still using it after six years. Not because I have to but becaus I want to. Even with the stock pickups it beats its rivals in this les-paul price range by epiphone and others. Stable tuning and intonation. Only problem are the knobs. They fall out but whats worse they were never very responsive. Same with the tuners. They may hold the strings in tune but there is a noticeable delay when you start turning the tuning key and when the string starts to change pitch.
