Overdrive Pedal with Depth

This overdrive pedal excels at the britpop driven sounds, but don't let it's reputation deceive you. The scran is more versatile than it's perceived. A lot of range, a lot of control, a lot of fun!

Does what it's suppose to

What else is there to say about power supplies like this? It does as advertised and haven't experienced any issues. Just make sure it hits all your pedals will get enough juice from it. I made one mistake where one of my pedals requires 300 mA and this only ever outputs 250 mA. Will be looking to upgrade to a power supply that will fulfill my needs. Nothing wrong with this one, it was just a detail I failed to notice when getting this.

A Timeless Flanger

This pedal is iconic and a great utility. The only cons for me is the pedal being 18v and a bit larger than alternatives. If those don't bother you, this is a must have.

Perfect Pedal for Me

Love how easy it is to upload new IR. Love the USB-C connection. Love that this pedal has an aux input, so I can play when my wife (who works nights) sleeps during the day. I can't find enough great things to say about this pedal since it checks off everything I on my need list. When I feel lazy, I just grab this pedal instead of my whole board to go jam with my cousin.

Didn't Do Everything I Wanted It To

I had this pedal for about a week before ultimately returning it. It was the first flanger pedal I had ever played. It sounded good! I like simple pedals, but this pedal had me wishing I had more control over other settings.

The other reason I returned it was because it made a terrible high pitch noise whenever it was off or on. I tried switching everything around, different cables, etc., etc., etc. Just didn't work properly for me, but that doesn't mean it will happen to you.

Great Pedal for Novice Looper Users

This is my first looper pedal I've owned. I've barrowed my cousin's loopers before (Boss RC505, Jamman Stereo Looper, Jamman Solo XT). I knew after using those that those, they all had more than what I personally needed. I chose this pedal for it's compact form and simplicity. Paying the extra $20 or so over the original ditto is well worth it just for the 99 save slots alone.

I did my research about the extended loop setting and the hiccup glitch it has before hand. It's the only reason I didn't give this pedal five stars, but I knew what I was getting into before I chose this pedal. I haven't even used the extended loop setting yet, but I know there are ways to work around the glitch. It might just limit the way you play. But I'll stick to the standard setting for now.

I really enjoy this setting.

Good Guitar for a Good Price

Got this in a bundle with a little Epiphone speaker back in 2013. It is my first guitar and I just can't let this thing go. It is great for entry level players and up. Mod it, sticker bomb it, scratch it up. Everyone starts somewhere and you should start with this guitar. Find it cheap through Facebook marketplace, find it in your uncles storage closet. Pass it around to your friends, siblings, whoever wants to learn. The little amp that comes with it sucks though haha.

Good Guitar for a Good Price

I got this guitar, I want to say 50% off. It is my first acoustic guitar, and I haven't felt the urge to run out and get an upgrade. I have played other acoustics that are x5, x10 this and for well reason. However this guitar has done everything I have wanted it to, and it would still be worth picking it up for full price if you are an entry level guitarist.

Unbeatable for the Price

Cloned after a Ibanez TS808. Sounds sooooo similar. I can't hear a difference, but have also never physically owned a TS808. For a hard plastic casing, it is well worth the $30.

Unbeatable for the Price

Clone of a Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz, but for $30. Hard plastic casing, but you just can't beat the price!

Good Mic

Not sure if it is worth the price compared to the pga48. I haven't been able to compare the two, but I do like the looks of this one more.

Unbeatable for the Price

Cheap cab, but it works! 1W setting is a nice touch for me when I want to play late at home. Thanks to no copyright laws in china, they copy a lot of great components without marking up the price as much. This is a great starting tube amp. I don't play any gigs, so 15W is more than enough for me. Reverb is a little weak. Only thing I don't like is how the power cable is attached to the cab. Otherwise if this amp meets your requirements, then get it. It's great!

Great Beginner/Practice Amp

Light and versatile amp. Cheap and great for beginners to intermediate players. Better then a tube amp in quieter settings thanks to it being solid state. Can be turned down without sacrificing tone.

Classic

Simply a great pedal. I've been using it for almost a decade now. Don't think I will ever sell this pedal. Good price.

Great Affordable Pedal

I would recommend this overdrive yo all beginners. The price is great, especially if you find a used one. This was my first pedal and even if I take it off my board, I will probably never sell it.

ryanleu

Versatile Pedal

Constantly switching it around to experiment with sounds. Back of the chain, front of the overdrive. It just works great and is so easy to use.

Good Pedal for a Great Price

Does what it's intended to do. Just wish I had more controls to fine-tune the phaser. However I don't use it that much as it is. Would still recommend this pedal for first time users.

Great Chorus Pedal

My first chorus pedal. I have had it for almost a decade and don't see myself replacing it. Unless I could find one with the same great sound, but also had presets.

Reliable

This is my first wah pedal. It was an easy choice for the price, but also the history behind this line of wahs. It sounds great, I need more experience with it.

Beautiful Tele

Great guitar for the price. This is my first tele and I have not been disappointed. Light and sounds clean.
