Great Rare Instrument
I got this bass for my love of playing 5 string basses. It sounds incredible recorded with the P and J bass pickups. They didn't make too many of these in the late 90s, Im glad I got it when I did. Came with the case too! Its uncomfortable on stage but I still like it.
1/2 the price of Orange
I got this at the same time I got my 6505+ and out of the box, they paired great. It has V30s and the same construction as the Orange PPC212. Granted it doesn't look as dope as the orange, it performs just as good. Not sure if Jet City still makes this cab, but, they make great products.
Great for the money
Got this as an experiment only because I SWORE by high end cables (mogami, monster). I've had this for almost a year and it has survived the road and all the abuse I've thrown at it. Do not use cheap batteries in these guys or you'll be going through batteries every time you turn it on.
Best Tuner
This little guy is perfect. Its so bright when you're on a dark stage and can't see. The display really got it for me. It is nice to see what strings aren't in tune when you strum. I highly recommend this over the TU-3.
Won't Color Tone
Got this guy not too long ago looking for a relatively non-expensive way to give myself a nice mid-range boost. I play through a 6505+ and they aren't known for their mid-range like Marshall. This pedal drive the tubes harder so your signal breaks up sooner, for metal the sooner the better. I have it set at 11 o'clock and its the perfect amount of juice to get the tone I'm looking for. Did I mention it doesn't color your tone like drive pedals do?

no, like its close cousin the micro amp the LPB1 doesn' color your sound a lot (it does, but its more about extra high end shimmer and that ahrd transistor edge most boosts exhibit, but that's a sound in and of itself), however, if you wanted a mid-boost I am not sure why you went this route
@jimmarchi1 I have my mids almost dimed on the 6505+ and this pedal gives me the little push on that end. I didn't need something more than this!
Beat the TR-2
Tried this guy next to a Boss TR-2, and for some reason I liked this one better. It doesn't sound so "fake" compared to some of the higher end trem pedals I've played. Its a good addition to my board since I don't use ALOT of tremolo to shape my tone, but for $25 you can't pass that up.
Not bad!
I tried this next to the Boss OC-3 and loved this pedal way more. It didn't give me that super "processed" sound that you can sometimes get out of a pedal of this nature. The Behringer model has sounded great so far! Not bad for $25.

Does your pedal make any noise when you have it ON on your amplifier? Not that normal noise every one does, but noise that can actually cover the effect and you got to struggle to hear it. Cuz mine did a lot

Good for most
This is a great pedal if you don't have a high gain amp or high output pickups. I use this with a Les Paul in a Peavey 6505+ and somehow I get a little bit of not so tasty feedback. I knew what I was getting myself into when i got this thing but better noise gates have come out since then. Its easy to use and usually you don't have to adjust it again once you have it set.
Great first guitar
Everyone gets one of these for their first guitar and I still play the crap out of this thing. Ive upgraded all the electronics in this bad boy and honestly it plays better than a fat strat. Sounds better too! This guitar has the most playable neck I've ever seen. The action after all these years just keep getting better and better the more I play it. I don't think Ibanez makes these anymore but I'm glad I have one.
Great Guitar!
I got this used dot as a guitar that I could take to school (when I was in high school years ago), and I needed something that was moderately priced and still sounded great. I got it home and was playing around with it and it sounded almost as good as my Les Paul, so, I decided to change the strings and when I got the strings off, I took out the pickups to see what they were, and whoever had it before me put a set of 57' Classics in it! This is by far the best sounding semi-hollowbody I've ever played (including Gibsons line). The neck is nice and fat like a vintage guitar should be. I have since then taken off the pick guard (I'm weird) and it shows how pretty the maple grain is on the top! I highly recommend this guitar for anyone who is looking to delve into hollowbody guitars.
Thumpy.
I've used this model on every recording I've ever done. Plug this into a sans amp and then into an Ampeg SVT classic, you've got the best tone you've ever heard. Only reason I give this bass 4 stars is the bridge is pure overseas garbage. Will soon be upgrading as soon as I finish my research on it! Other than that, this bass is killer for the money. Its nice that each pickup has its own volume (but no selector, boo).
Solid Vintage Tone
Ive owned Taylor, Fender, and a couple of others, but this particular Guild has that old school all mahogany tone. I tried a $1600 Martin and the Guild sounded and played WAY better. Its great for light strumming singer songwriter styles, or, fingerpicking galore! The neck is a wide thin type and it projects really well for a smaller body guitar.

Hi sir. Do you prefer this guild or the gs mini?? Tks!
Impressive!
I got this guitar on a whim (actually got two guitars in one day), I wanted something that didn't have that full range tone like a Les Paul does and this guitar just happened to be it! I plugged it into a 5153 combo on the blue channel and it was raw and dirty (in a good way). Im currently in a southern metal band and this guitar is perfect for that gritty tone. For the money, this is a great piece to have in your arsenal.
Love it!
This particular Les Paul screams. It is not your typical Standard. With the Burstbucker 1 & 2 Pickups, this guitar reacts to every little thing you do. The ebony fretboard really gives it smooth action and really snappy (almost like a maple neck). I love the AAA top on it and the fact that it doesn't have a pick guard (not really into pick guards on Gibson). I have played metal to jazz fusion with this guitar and I have been nothing but pleased with how it plays and sounds. They didn't make too many models of this particular one, but I think I got a really good one!
Workhorse!
With the array of guitars that I use, this amp can do it all. It's a workhorse and it really puts up with my abuse. Highly suggest doing a re-tube shortly after purchasing to get the real effects of what this amp can do. The EQ is really user friendly and I can easily get the tone I want. Only quarrels I have with this amp is the fact that it IS high gain, so it WILL hiss and hum with your higher output pickups. I have a NS-2 but I think I will be getting an ISP Decimator soon to alleviate that issue.
