My Gear 22

Very light guitar with a very thin neck (19mm) exactly how I like it. Pickups are pretty loud and they give you options for different sounds with push/pull pots which I think is better than simple coil split because they are noiseless. Mine came with a bad neck setup which is very strange for a Schecter but i relieved it by 1/4 turn and it's genuinely perfect. Plays wonderfully, stays in tune and looks badass.
It is cheap. No denying that. Sharp frets, bad jacks, wobbly 3 way switch that sometimes refuses to work and tuners that don't keep tunings very well. I personally had to change the input jack because it wasn't holding cables very well and I had to sand the frets. All of these things are either simple fixes or you can live with them. The guitar itself is setup decently well. The action is low and the neck is the absolute best thing about this guitar. It's thin (about 19m) with a D profile and it's well suited for both fast playing as well as chords. Pickups are pretty good too, not very hot but still decent for a passive humbucker. The guitar itself is extremely light which I prefer. Overall awesome playing experience with this guitar, but you gotta put some work in.
It does the thing you expect a muff to do. It's quite noisy when you crank it and the footswitch will inevitably break like all EHX pedals but that's a 2 dollar fix. I love a muff.
It's absolutely nasty, earpiercing and loud - exactly how you want it to be. I wish it generated less noise on standby though because it sounds like a microwave when you're not playing.
Very good sounding pedal, a 6 stage phaser with great controls. Circuit itself is truly awesome but as everyone said, the footswitch quality is terrible. Mine broke within the first 2 months of occasional use (as phasers are most commonly used). I changed it for a 2 dollar switch from china and it has worked perfectly for years so I can only imagine how cheap are the ones they originally use.
It takes some time to figure out the controls but it's a very decent sounding auto wah. I personally find it to be too harsh going into a clean amp, but once you add overdrive/distortion it becomes very usable.
Beautiful clean and a decent dirty channel. I personally use the clean channel more as it's a great pedal platform. It can get very loud but it makes weird farting noises on max volume if you have a lot of low end set (in a home setting you won't need past 1/4 volume though). Eq is kind of odd. It lacks some high end so I keep it at max level while I keep middle and bass (which it has too much off) down. You can still make it sound really good though it's just odd. Built in effects are whatever, I don't use them. There are some decent sounds like reverb in them but you only get a "effect amount" knob so you can't really change anything about them. Overall very good sounding amp that got refined with a new Crush 35RT model.
The most inputs you can get at this price range other then the Behringer which is way worse in audio and build quality, you get 2 quality cables (USB-USBc, USBc-USBc), nice quiet preamps, very easy to set up drivers and relatively low latency. The only complaint I have is that the gain stage on the input potentiometers is weird, it slowly rises gain from 0-8 then suddenly jumps to clipping very fast from 8-10 (not a problem if you have a higher output microphone or a preamp). Some people have said that the headphone outputs are quiet and while I find it quieter then other interfaces, it is loud enough for studio use. Great buy. 馃憤
Got it for 13 euro used, sounds like a proper TS808 even offering different diode clipping modes and IC chip change. No noise as well. Pleasantly surprised.
Truly covers all your flanger needs. I find that it sounds the best when you set it up as a flanging chorus, it makes the guitar bloom in a very musical way which is even better in stereo. The "ultra" mode is great paired with distortion when soloing as well.
