Big Cheap Marshall
This thing is loud. It is a Marshall. Its fans are noisy. It buzzes. It's super cool.

It's a DS-1
My first pedal. Probably most people's as well. It does the DS-1 thing. If you want mindless distortion and bleeding ears, it will do that.

Soft and Gentle.
I have this guitar in the Aged Mahogany finish. It is soft and gentle, and greta for fingerstyle and folk. It doesn't have the belting power of a Jumbo or Dreadnought, but it is the perfect guitar to keep in the open for when songwriting inspiration hits.

Little Mayhem
I got this pedal beat up and used for 40 bucks and it is my go-to for cutting leads. The drive is dynamic and alive, but sounds way better than a Tube Screamer.

A Tone-Bending, Always-On Friend
This pedal is warm and groovy. I keep it always on. It bends the pitch enough to make your tone unique but subtle enough to add more layers of effects. I put it at the start of my signal chain.

Slick, mellow, cool.
I do not normally support crimes but I didn't want to pay for a Julianna. This thing does the trick for 80 bucks.

Best Cheap Pedal Ever.
This thing rocks. The trails gives an almost synth like sound to your guitar.

Secret Sauce.
This little thing rattles and hums and suck, but has all the mojo. It's drenched reverb and Virtu-Tube settings actually sound amazing for a funky indie/lofi sound. It can be the secret sauce for any record, and it's not gonna break the bank

Clean.
This is the smoothest, cleanest sounding and playing Strat I have ever had. The Z-Coils are like butter to the ears (does that make sense?).

Cheap Workhorse
For 80-something bucks used (you can find this pretty cheap online or locally), the clean tones are great. When used with pedals, it becomes a great base.

A work of art.
This guitar is simply inspiring to play. The feel of the neck, carve of the body, and relief make it resonant (semi-hollow) and just fast-feeling. The neck P90 especially has a sweet tone that you can play all day on.

Heavy Hitter
The ash body on this Les Paul really resonates. It has a deep sound and the bass strings really sing.
