Guitars 7

Absolutely amazing! Definitely my most confident purchase!
Awesome guitar! I picked it up in guitar center and I never looked back from buying it, real heavy tones and sounds great!
Honestly I've never heard a more ideal sound from an acoustic guitar! I've had it for a year or two and it plays amazing, I've never even needed to change out the strings yet everything feel sand sounds great!
I've owned this guitar for years and it truly does wonders for my rig. It's always been the best for bright and easy tones in my collection so far!
Got this guitar used in New York, sounds like nothing else that I have, super awesome to have the expansion of tones for creativity!
Cheap, but good for friends if they ever want to come over and not have to worry about them messing anything up!

Bass Guitars 2

Thinking about upgrading to a fender precision bass next, but this guitar has always been 100% reliable. Might need to change out the 9v battery once in awhile but it always has a great sound!
If you want to have some power behind what you're playing but don't want to spend all that money for it, i'd say this is a pretty safe buy.

Amplifiers 6

One of the very first amplifiers I ever bought, it works great and I use it daily!
Great for whenever my friends come over to jam! I personally love how it compliments my Marshall!
Has a great register for tones, constantly use it for practice.
I primarily use this amp for DI into my studio anytime I'm recording bass.

Effects Pedals 11

I have mine set to the LP side of the switch, volume on the "o" under "volume", drive set to noon, and my tone at 3 o'clock, Great sound!
I have mine set with the tone and distortion at 10 and 2 whilst my level at around 1 o'clock. pairs great with all my other pedals.
Compressions are those pedals that you never really believe you need until you use one, this guy is always on for my pedal board and set to the humbucker switch for my Les Paul. Sustain at 5, Blend at 4, Level at 7, and tone between 8 and 9.
Everything about it would be perfect just other than that fact that you can't shut it off without unplugging it. Otherwise the display is always on, but far more accurate than any tuner i've used before so well worth the purchase.

Microphones 5

Made to handle any vocals for any genre it seems, definitely worth having in my studio!
I use them for basically everything, if you ever need a universal microphone to get a job done fast, these will always have you covered!
Definitely needs the shock mount, I received it without one and it's nearly impossible to set it up, but the quality of tone and range is awesome! Though after many years of use mine finally gave out on me, I went ahead and bought the AKG C214 directly after for recording my acoustic guitars rather.
What it may like in a crisp clear sound it contributes for harsher vocals. Probably not the best out of the bunch but it gets the job done for clippy audio like loud vocals or acoustic guitars!

Studio Equipment 9

Super affordable and major bang for your buck! Totally worth it.
Seems to be able to handle anything I throw into it. I bought it secondhand but with some tweaking I make it work like brand new! Super easy to work with!
Beat pad has awesome response, the keys feel natural and easy to play, i'd say the only thing it's lacking are more keys to work with if you plan on using it within your studio to learn piano or keyboard, the 61key model will get the job done for most every song but I noticed I was lacking just the tiniest bit of more room for certain songs.
super crisp and clear sound! Only downside is the price, so as long as you can afford it then it's definitely worth the investment!
Good sounding monitors, great for their price! Never hurts to have a sub woofer with it though.
I've have both ProTools and Logic and they both have their advantages, Logic is way worth the price and super user friendly!

Other Gear 6

A bit bigger and a bit deeper sound compared to the soprano and concert models
I go back and forth between E Standard and Drop D pretty often and these strings seem to be able to handle anything I thrown at them, super durable and great tone!
