This guitar is a non-tele trapped in a tele's body. The Pearly Gates in the bridge and '59 in the neck give it a very unique sound, making capable of anything from punk, to indie, to post rock, to blues

This was my first guitar, I bought it brand new for $90, which is a great price for this guitar. The guitar is a laminate body, not a real wood one, which gives it a harsher tone than higher end acoustics, that having been said though, it is far from a bad sounding guitar. As for how it feels, the neck is relatively thin, which is great for someone starting out who haven't become acclimated to chords, especially barre chords, the tuning pegs are a bit stiff, but that's not a huge problem, The dreadnought body is standard issue, not my favorite shape, but that's incredibly subjective. From the factory it had a high action, but that's nothing that can't be solved with a set up from a local store, or hell, even yourself if you feel adventurous. All in all it's not a bad guitar, especially considering the price, if you can find one used that's all the better. But I would recommend shopping around for a used, real wood guitar for the ~$100 you could get this guitar for.

This was my second guitar, straight from the factory this thing was perfect. It was set up well, the truss rod needed no adjusting, the action was perfect for me, granted that could be luck. It has a C shaped neck, and a nut width around 1 11/16", making it feel more like an electric guitar voiced as an acoustic. The auditorium style body gives it a deep, clear tone, that's also very bright and highlights each individual string. As far as looks this guitar is stunning. I'm normally one for a plain wood grain look on acoustics, but something about this body, with the beautiful soundhole inlay, and mahogany "binding" around the corners is great. The ebony neck without any fret markers is beautiful, and the pearloid inlay on the headstock is wonderful. It comes with on-board electronics that comes equipped with a built in EQ, volume, and gain setting, as well as an onboard tuner. There is an aftermarket part that replaces the "high z" input with a usb, giving you a quarter inch and USB output should you want it. I don't have a bad thing to say about this guitar. I cut my teeth with guitar on this instrument. I don't see a need for any other acoustic guitar in my future.

This is a great practice amp, and can get suprisingly loud considering its small size and low wattage. The clean tone on this amp is wonderful, it doesn't do what some amps, like orange or marshalls, do where the clean tone is secretly just a low gain drive. I prefer the tone on this amp to my 50w Laney HC50r, and whenever I'm recording I use this amp, however, as one would assume, it lacks the power to be a great gigging amp.

I found this amp chilling in a supply closet at my college. So for the price I got it, it literally can not be beat. This amp does great cleans and has a great, gritty dirt channel. One of my favorite features is the fact that the clean and dirty channel have separate volume and EQ controls, so you can dial in the tone you want without having to mess with the amp after switching channels.

I am in love with this amp. It has absolutely beautiful cleans, but a smooth dirty channel. You can crank this thing and get it incredibly loud, and it has tons of headroom to spare, there's absolutely nothing to not like about this amp, barring maybe how much it weighs. It's about 80lbs. (~37kg for my friends everywhere that isn't America), so lugging this thing around is a chore, to say the least. Epi really outdid themselves with this amp, it's a shame they're no longer in production.

I got this pedal for practice two years back, it being only $20 I didn't expect much. It has become my main dirt pedal ever since, beating out an TS9 and boss Overdrive

This pedal has a large variety of effects, all of which are very powerful, but a few of them sound very digital. If you dial in the pitch shifter or harmonist to too high or too low of a pitch it stops sounding like a guitar and starts sounding like a MIDI tone. I love how there is a universal wet-dry dial to let you mix the signal however you want, because of this you can use the detune setting set to anywhere between -5 and -15 cents, and set the wet dry to about half way to give yourself a chorus effect, and you can do the same with the flutter to give yourself a flanger sound.

This pedal is great, it has an array of sounds and settings that give it a myriad of uses. My problem with it however, although completely subjective, is that some of the settings are just not too great. The spring, gate, room and modulate settings are wonderful in my opinion, but the hall and plate are far too "flat" and dry for my liking, again that is purely subjective and I'm sure other players love those effects, but they aren't for me. In addition to that, when the tone or level is dialed in too high, you get a very digital, very distant sound, almost as if the dry signal disappears and it's solely playing the wet signal.

This pedal is one of the most powerful pedals I've ever used, with a huge array of uses. From blues, to ambient shoegaze, this pedal can dial in all sorts of sounds. "Aahhhs, oooooo, yeyeeee, wahs," and literally about a dozen more. The knob on the left changes the inflection of the sound, and effects where the consonant sound comes in, if at all, knob on the right effects the tone, and the power of the vowel sound. The middle knob effects what vowel you get. All in all it's a great pedal with a ton of uses. And it looks pretty so that's a huge plus

I first heard of this pedal about a year back and it's always been stuck in the back of my head, about 2 weeks back I finally took the plunge and decided to get it. Wow am I happy that I did. This pedal is great in every way. It has two settings: the first is a clean boost/very light drive, and it sounds wonderful, it doesn't mask the sound of your instrument whatsoever, just brings out it's beauty. The second setting is a OD/distortion, depending on how high you crank the gain, I rarely use that setting, as I have dedicated OD and Dist pedals, but it sounds great on that setting as well. This is an incredible pedal and it was worth far more than the $80 I spent on it.

I was interested in this pedal for 2 reasons. 1. I liked the Line 6 DL4, but didn't need the loop function, and 2. I needed board space. This thing is a beast. It's a DL4 in a boss style stompbox. Does everything the DL4 does barring the loop, and it's built like an absolute tank. Super heavy, and incredibly sturdy, no regrets with this purchase.

I have no qualms with this pedal whatsoever. It is what it is: a DS-1. There's no replacement, if you need that boss distortion sound, this is it, no way around it. Found one used for $25 dollars, worth every cent.
