NEVER buy a Maverick Super-Vee Bridge
Never ever ever ever buy a guitar with this bridge, or just the bridge. This bridge's saddles will break any kind of string, no matter what brand you use. The company that produces these bridges sent me a damaged bridge. After have routed my telecaster for this bridge, the company didn't want to replace the piece. Please, avoid this mess of a bridge.
Thank me later.

Top Shelf Envelope Filter
Super compact, super fun, great envelope filter and fantastic Octave option (post or pre). In front of drives and fuzzes it gives a good punch to your sharp solos or riffs. 9v Power, it fits a small space on your pedalboard.
Only downside: The octave circuit is not independent from the envelope circuit. So it works only if the Filter is engaged.
Overall, my favourite Envelope filter ever! Super Funky!
Preferred Settings + Usage:
All at 12 o'clock on a telecaster, bridge pickup. Tasty af.

Cheap space-saving versatile Wah/Volume/Expression pedal
This little thing does it all. Perfect for my pedal board and for anyone who needs 3 pedal in one. The volume sensitivity is not on spot as other high end alternatives, but you can't really complain considering its price. You can use it as expression pedal, which comes very handy. The wah sounds good, surprisingly good, and you can switch between a modern or vintage wah sound, while adjusting the "Q" with a little pot. The led lights are helpful but a bit covered under the top platform.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
"Q" pot on 12 o' clock Vintage wah.

Simple - High End - Versatile Pedal
Let's go in order. Your Guitar: Humbucker or Single coils? No Problem! Unscrew the bottom plate and select your fav option with those little switches. Compressor side: It goes from a medium/High squishing funk compression, to a subtle sustainer to push your crunch and solo tones. Drive side: Basically a Keeley "Red Dirt". So it goes from a heavy crunch to a nice mellow mid boost.
If you like the Keeley compressor and the Keleey Red Dirt, buy this and you'll basically have both in one pedal. Ps: You can run them in different order thanks to the central switch. Ps2: You can place the drive and compressor anywhere in the signal chain by using stereo cables on the Imput and Output.

Nice Pedal - However better alternatives are around at this price
I used it for a couple of years, but it really didn't leave a mark on my gigs. The toneprint is great as in all the TC Electronics products. At that price I would buy better sounding octavers probably.

This thing is CRAZY!
I still have to find the right definition for this little fella... It gives you AMAZING possibilities and unique sounds. It's not for everyone and surely it is for people that love experimenting new ways to subtly deform your sound or to completely morph it into a broken robot talking wah! I used it in 2 ways:
- Hidden boost behind my "The Dude" overdrive, to add a unique rounded dirty boost
- By it self with a compressor as main protagonist of my sound... it sounded FAT!

Simple, Great sounding pedal
It's just perfect for any funk guitarist. I love it and I have recorded my early stuff with it in my signal chain!

Reliable and very versatile instrument
The best guitar I have ever owned. Unfortunately and regretfully sold it. But I would buy a guitar with the same set up other 100 times.

Great Value, Unique Tone and surpisingly LOUD!
Fantastic surprise. I was going to buy a Fender Amp from a private, and he showed me this little fella. I have tried it and I took it home.
ALL TUBE, made in USA in 2006, discontinued version, Crispy tones, clean warm channel, Aggressive medium gain channel, built-in reverb, boost option on both channels, Limited Edition Eminence Speaker, Not heavy compared to other brands. LOUD!
I have recorded most of my material before between 2019 and 2020 with this fella. Reliable.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
It works amazingly with any drive/distortion pedal. Not to mention how well modulations and ambience effects work with its great speaker.

The future of Amps/effects processing
Since I bought this piece of gear, my life got easier. I don't worry about carrying thousand pedals and heavy Amps anymore. Once you find the right profiles, you are going to be rocking forever.

Flexible and reliable low to medium gain drive
It sounds amazing and it can cover many tonal landscapes. It's pure rock and it's perfect to add colour to your locks.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
I use it to boost the drive channel of my amp, adding more colour to it. But it works pretty fine also as a standalone drive, especially for rock or dirty rhythm parts.
