Does what it says

This unit has worked really well. Yes it’s large but I knew that when I bought it. Pedal performance has been a lot more consistent since buying it. I use all 8 power outputs at 9v. Bought this as it was the only 8 output one in the shop but more than happy with it as got a great deal! No regrets!

Amazing distortion

Very versatile. Works best with valves rather than my Katana but you can control it with volume very well! Best distortion pedal I’ve ever used

Best Acoustic Pic

Use this with my dreadnought J-15 and they just sound better than the tortes I use. Much more versatility from a pick. Which, if you told me before I tried them I’d have laughed!

Most bang for buck Gibson

Went into the store with a big budget but came out with anything but a budget guitar. I tried the G45 range as well as a J45 and I just preferred this guitar. I was unaware of the pricing as well as I asked the store to take the tags off before trying. Mine has a beautiful wall it back and the playability is second to non. I’d recommend getting one of these if you can still find them as they’ve been discontinued. I use it DI’d and the pickup is great too. The G series doesn’t have the Baggs pickup which is included on this and higher end Gibson guitar.

Limited Bluetooth Range Ruins Amp

The amp is ok. Good enough sound and the app is very good. Downloading tunes is easy and it’s really good to see other people’s perspective of famous tones using the tone cloud. It’d be nice to have another update from Line 6 as it’s been years and the Bluetooth range for the app to all my devices is so short you have to be virtually next to the amp for it to connect.

Bargain!

Same build quality ad a Pedal Train at half the price. The only thing is I don't give the gig bag more than 6 months. I'll move it to a flight case.

Lost its volume

When I put this after my BD2 and OD3 and it lost all volume and now needs an extra boost when I engage it. Used to love it but don't want to sacrifice other pedals for it. Don't know how to solve this problem without a mod.

Reliable!

Never leave home without it. The 1 time I forgot it the neck on my Les Paul broke. Sturdy and reliable. Folds up easily as well.

My new favourite

Love this guitar. Have a bad back and it is so light, have had no problems since. The 57 pickups are amazing and make it a lot more versatile than the 490's that I've tried in SGs in the past. Mine came in vintage sunburst and looks great. I can't quite put into words how happy I am with this guitar.

Love it

Love this! £21 and just as good on the pedal board as the more expensive delays in my opinion. I tried a few but only use this for 4 or 5 songs so it was a no brainer. I'd really recommend these smaller pedals. Just can't go wrong for the price!

Cheap but High Quality

Very basic sounding but delivers a great tone. Can't go wrong for the price. My friend recommended Donner to me and they're great for live performances. It really helps get a great tone with a single coil and breaks up the sound nicely, as well as giving clarity to each string.

Better than a bargain

I own 8 guitars, all over twice the price than this but I have to say that I spent 5 months without playing my others. This does everything sound wise that I wanted from a guitar. Finish is beautiful, yes it is coated and not a flame top but you can only see that up close. Quality of binding and fretboard feel isn't up the the Gibson quality bit it is over £2000 less than a Gibson so I'll let it off the hook. I'd strongly recommend this guitar for anyone! I'll not be parting with it!

Best Way I've Heard

I love this pedal. Took a while to get used to the size of it and how to position your foot so you'd get the full sweep. The 3 settings are a great feature however you have to take the bottom off it in order to access the switch. A stupid design fault in my opinion. Still, I'd not leave for a gig without it!

A steady performer

Used as my boost pedal for a while. Lost out to the BD-2 on my pedal board. Reliable and easy to use with a wide range of gain available. Was a little heavy for my liking though.

Absolute winner

Fantastic all round overdrive pedal. I use this with the gain barely on but level quite high so I get a nice break up from the amp. I'd actually consider getting another though in the chain as it is a very smooth overdrive once pushed a little harder. Ideal for the music I play which is from all genres.

Love this guitar

Bought this guitar on a whim after falling in love with the colour (Charcoal Frost Metallic with Maple Fretboard) and trying it out in my local music shop. Tones and playability are amazing and I always take it to gigs as a backup or as my main guitar. The clean tones available from the guitar are immense and the volume and tone controls alter the sound nicely as you'd expect.

I always thought I was a Les Paul guy but I couldn't be without this guitar (2008 model)

Great tone

Great tone available. Flexible EQ dials. Do need noise gate for heavier gain settings but then it becomes incredibly versatile.

Great build but limited sound

I love playing this pedal but it just lacks the flexibility of a Vox or original Crybaby. It is incredibly robust and is still attached to my gigging pedal board.

Great fun

Easy to use and a great practice tool. Have used it live once but better off at home. Drum machine patches are a bit rubbish but fine for practice.

Good sounds, hard to use

Great pre set sounds. Annoying that you have to go into the cpu to adjust any settings. I do like the way you can turn off the individual effects from the pre sets though. I have different ones for each song and then add individual effects when needed, a great feature but just takes a long time to programme compared to others.
