Best amp in it's price range
For the price, this is a wonderful amp! All tube and sounds like it. The auto biasing and voltage regulation is a great feature! My only complaints are that because of the INFINIUM technology, the tubes are a little harder to breakup. The tolex on the amp looks nice, but seems really easy to scuff. If you're on a budget, get this amp!

you won't find many el84 designs that aren't self-biasing. Its called cathode bias and the el84/6bq5 really lends itself to this arrangement electronically as well as tonally.

Does the job like you would expect
This is a great overall power supply. Grounded, isolated on each output, and built like a tank. The dip switches add options as well.

Take your RV-5 and throw it out the window
After owning 2 RV-5 pedals and a Blue Sky, I have to say this is my favorite reverb by far! It takes the famous RV-5 modulate setting and increases the quality big time. The tone control is actually usable in every position, and the other settings beside modulate sound good as well. Plus, you have shimmer and delay+reverb as an option! And the expression jack is a great addition. If this had a favorite switch like the Blue Sky, this would be the end all of all reverb pedals.

Great pedal, but get the JHV3 mod
Stock, this pedal is awesome. It gives you tons of sounds that work well. However, get the audio mod and switch upgrade from JHV3. The stock switches are on the cheap side. The audio upgrade changes out internal components to higher quality ones and makes a huge improvement. 4 star rating for a stock M9, 5 star for a JHV3 M9.

Wonderful compressor
This compressor has zero flaws in my opinion. It does the job, features a blend control, and looks incredible. I won't need another compressor any time soon.

Good Intro pair of IEMs
These are great when starting to use IEMs. They're single driver, but deliver a clear sound. They come with a good number of tips to help get a good fit, and a cool orange case as well! I like these better than the Shure SE215 monitors (Shure's competitor IEM). Great for new IEM users, but not a permanent solution (usually).

Great, inexpensive way to incorporate In-Ears
Being $40 or so, this is a great way to run an IEM system almost anywhere. If the FOH console has Aux sends, you can run In Ears. The option to run a microphone through the box is great too, so you can control your personal level of your microphone (vocal, instrument, etc). Great product for the money!

Workhorse Overdrive
I love this pedal. Very warm overdrive, and the boost section acts more like a 2nd stage vs a clean boost. Because of that, I can use this pedal to get me through any gig with multiple gain stages. I've had both the MOSFET version and the pre-MOSFET, and I'm leaning toward this pedal as my favorite.

Great for what it is
The M-8 is solid and straight-forward. I would prefer the higher end Furman conditioners, but this is an inexpensive way to protect your rig
