Guitars 7

So many years with me and it has never failed me, from Punk, to Grunge, to Metal, to Noise Music, to New Wave, to Gothic Rock, to Dream Pop, to Indie, everything, you can play everything on this guitar, I fell in love with this guitar since the first time I saw it in a music store back when I was around 14, I still have it, It was with me on my first gig, on all my school shows too, I learned my first couple of songs here, somehow this guitar still lives, and I enjoy the sound and playability just like the first time, anyone should give it a try to this guitar, simply great!!
This guitar was my first 7 string, I got it for my 18 birthday, because it was hard to find a 7 string left handed here in Chile, my dad ordered through ebay, I was happy when I got it, and still I am!! this guitar has a really nice tone, clean and distorted, the pickups are really good, weight is good, and you can play everything with this guitar, it took me around 2 days to get used to the scale and the extended range thing, but after that, it felt natural and like any other guitar, Do I reccomend this guitar for a first "extended range" guitar? Yes, without a doubt, the guitar is just amazing
a gift from my grandmother, my first guitar back when I was 12, I still play it to this day, comfortable and easy to play guitar, excellent first guitar, I even had to put the strings for Left Handed when I switched to Left Handed playing, I do not play it that often now, mostly it is in it's case, because of the sentimental value of it
For a long time I wanted this guitar, and I was shocked how comfortable and easy to play instrument it is, I bought this guitar used, actually, I got this guitar con a trade, it came with a Dimarzio Paf Pro on the neck and a Dimarzio Super Distortion on the bridge, the middle pickup is stock, the guitar sounds amazing, I have plans to block the tremolo, because I don't like Floyd style tremolos, but man, this guitar is amazing, also because it is not easy to find left handed guitars, but Ibanez never fails to impress me, always good left handed instruments!!

Bass Guitars 2

So many gigs with this boy, it was for right handed and I switched for left handed, I got it when I was 13, my first gig was with this bad boy!!! now it is resting on his case, his days are over, It is in decent condition now, a tuner is kind of broken and the input jack works "sometimes", but that it is because of all the playing that it has (the input jack thing it is because, well it is a right handed bass and I it was normal for me to hit the cable with my arm in live gigs lol), I recommend this bass to anyone who wants to play bass, if somehow survived me, it can survive everything!!

Effects Pedals 8

I have for a long time now, It is my main distortion, great for Humbuckers and Single Coils, underrated pedal
This was my third or fourth pedal ever, back when I was an early teenager, still on my board, my "second main distortion", great for Noise Rock, Noise Pop, Gothic Rock, Dream Pop, Shoegaze, Post-Punk (Punk in general actually) and for everything, also of course, for Blues (lmao), and even Metal, boost your amp distortion with this and you will get a killer tone, there is nothing this pedal can not do, simple awesome, so many years on my side, it had never failed me
This pedal is perfect for Ambient, Shoegaze, Dream Pop, Noise music and such, also it has Delay, a simple but effective delay, awesome, you can make great atmospheres with this little pedal, amazing!!
Do not let the presentation or reputation fool you!!! this cheap and little pedal is AWESOME, and it is analog, you can get really good chorus tones with this little beast, and with distortion sounds great!! It is a clone of the mytical Boss CE-2, but way cheaper, Mooer makes really good pedals in general, but this pedal is worth every peny
I have this pedal for a while now and it has been amazing so far, on both bass and guitar, very tube amp sounding drive, cuts great in a mix, great for soloing and playing Post-Punk or Indie Rock kind of stuff

Other Gear 2

I have two custom guitars, an Ibanez RG370 DXZL and a custom Partcaster, both of them have Super Distortion in the bridge, sounds killer, you can play everything on them!!
