This thing has to be the best sounding mixer i’ve ever used, great effects, eq control, etc. it’s simple to use, light as a feather and sounds great! Had this mixer for over 12 years and has never let me down.
10/10 would recommend for a beginner to pro.
Guitars 16
One of the best strat style guitars for under $1000. If you're after a classic style strat go for this.
the feel, tone, and the quality is hard to beat for the price.
Amps 23
One of my favourite amps in the world. Takes pedals like a champ, Very clean headroom. Don’t be fooled by 20 watts, this thing is very loud and can hold up to a drummer even on the 10 watt setting.
No matter what pedals or amp setting i use it’s very usable,
Only one thing to say is that the overdrive channel sucks and would’ve been better if it was a bright channel or a presence boost. Ether way this is a very good amplifier if you’re looking for a pedal platform or something that can stay clean.

I got to say this thing has been a workhorse all over the Groundwater country music festival at Broadbeach last year.
I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with this thing.
So damn easy to use, can’t pull a bad tone from it and can be found fairly cheap.
(I honestly think I have gotten more compliments on my tone with this $150 pedal than I have with my $1.4k pedalboard that I’ve spent years building lol.)
Only downside is that the expression pedal is made of plastic (but has obviously lasted years of use). Overall, I’m very happy with this thing and will be using this for the rest of my life for when I need a small pedalboard setup.
Microphones 9
Absolutely love this thing. So easy to mix and work great for most, if not, all vocals. Got nice crisp highs and nice midrange. They sound a little more pleasing compared to an SM58 to my ears and they are cheaper too, and they’ve got quite a bit of weight to it as well,
Though having said that, a couple of things I don’t like about it is the head gets discoloured and dents easily and can be a bit boomy at times. But it’s really a minor inconvenience.
Hands down would recommend. :)
I’ve tried many mic brands like Sennheiser, AKG, Beyerdynamic, Rode, even other Shure’s. You name it, I’ve used it.
By far this is the best dynamic vocal mic I have ever used. I loved the Sennheiser e935 but felt it had a bit too much mids in it and sometimes the sibilance can get a little too harsh (could also be my type of voice too). The AKG D5 was my mic before the e935 and loved that as well as it had a nice top end, but felt it got boomy at times.
This mic is the blend between the two, nice mid range, crisp top end and warm low end without being too boomy, harsh or boxy. Goldilocks!
Works fantastic in the studio as well. Hands down best mic ever. I will recommend this mic to everyone I know
The Sennheiser from now on will be the spare and the AKG will be the spare of a spare (Because why not?)
