Amazing Dumble Sim pedal
These are quite possibly the best Dumble sim in the world. I've tried amps meant to sound like Dumbles, preamps meant to do Dumbles, but none of them really get the overdrive right. This pedal, only like 250 from Lovepedal, does it perfectly!
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Vol at 11, Tone at 12, Voice at 8, and Gain at 230

Great simple volume
Just a great simple volume pedal. Can be run without power as well, which is a huge plus.

Best Les Paul I've played
The HP studio is like the perfect distillation of the modern Les Paul: a nice sculpted heel, splitable pickups, and a really comfortable neck. It can also be found for under 1500 dollars, so that's always a plus!
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Bridge, full volume and tone. That's all you need!

The best Amp-in-a-Box. Period.
As the title says, it is the best amp in a box I have ever used. You run this as the last pedal in your chain, and use whatever overdrives you like, and this will take them perfectly!

Great Wireless
A rock solid wireless unit, for a really reasonable price. Works with 99% of guitars I've used it with.

Amazing amp, but unbearably loud
This is one of the best amps I own, and yet I barley use it. Why? It is absurdly loud. The master volume is basically useless, as when you turn it down to semi comfortable levels you start under volting the power tubes (i think) which cause the amp to fizz and crackle in a very not good way. A good attenuator would probably fix this, but I am too stubborn to pay more for an attenuator than I paid for the amp (oxbox)!
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Every setting is amazing, no joke.

Amazing guitar, made better
Not too much to say, its a PRS custom 24, with a screaming face on it! I swapped out the stock pickups and harness for the PRS 85/15 limited release set and a genuine US custom 24 5 way, and it elevated this guitar into the stratosphere!

4 stars stock, 5 after an electronic swap
A great MiM at is core, but with a really cool unique paint job. I have the White/Black/Gold/Silver, and it looks stunning! The stock pickups never really worked for me, so I swapped them out for 2 Carvin AP11s and a Carvin SH60 twinblade in the bridge, with an Emerson blend wiring kit, and it is perfect!
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Swap the pickups to your favorite, and have the coolest guitar on stage!

Amazing Preamp from one of the best
The best preamp I have ever used. The deep channel has a great sound for nice, fundamental rock bass tone, while the drive channel gets you the perfect tone for a trio with a guitar, or a nice bass lead tone, depending how you set it.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
DRIVE - Drive at 1230, Mid at 1, MidShift at 12, Blend at 1130, Bass at 1230, Treble at 1 DEEP - Saturation at 1030

The only bass amp you'll ever need!
Basically the perfect bass head. Pair with a nice eq into the power amp for a more distorted tone, or just use it as is for that classic rock bass tone. I generally pair it with an ADAM and a GED-2112.

Pairs Perfectly with Tweaker 15 Head
As the title says. Good response, and a nice comprehensive eg curve that sounds great. I currently run two Tweaker 15s in stereo paired with 2 of these, and it sounds amazing.

Amazing head for the price
One of the best heads I have ever used in the size and price range. Tones for days, just by flipping a few switches.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
I use two in stereo, and have them set nice and clean to use as a platform for a Direct Drive.

Great Cabinet after a speaker swap
Nice big cabinet with a lot of bass. Stock speakers are nice, but after swapping in some Warehouse Guitars Veteran 30s, it sounds perfect.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Mod in some V30 style speakers.

Great Pedal Platform
The versatility is amazing, just wish the built in reverb wasn't tied to the DI out, as it would be nice to have on the speaker outs.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Clean, Wide switch active, Treble - 11:30, Mid - 1:30, Bass 12:30
