Effects Pedals 13

An amazing boost with a fantastic bass response. The boost range is great giving you a light crunch to a heavy bleed!
The DS7 supplies a great range of Overdrive to Distortion tones. The circuit is quite loud, when you put the Drive and Tone on 10 you can sually hear white noise, however it more than makes up for it due to its exellent sound! I can imagine this pedal can be used for many different genres, such as metal, blues, hardcore and rock. Overall its a great distortion and I'd highly recomended it as a cheaper alternative to a Boss DS1.
I love fuzz pedals with a sweaty low-end and this pedal is bassy and proud! It's a great reissue to the original Sovtek pedal, you could place the Sustain and Tone on any level and you'd get a great sound.
The Boss CE-5 produces sounds that remind me of a Mario Underwater level, I'd recommend this as a chorus to any body who is searching for a dynamic and cheap(ish) chorus! Amazing work Boss!
Great for Math rock and tappy music, however, mine broke 7 months after buying it. Not a bad pedal at all just broke quickly!
The only reason this gets a 4 is due to is size, I understand that it's a Big Muff clone but surely Behringer can size it down a bit! Anyway it's a very spirited distorion and can be used for every genre. When putting the Tone and Sustain on 10 you get such an amazing punk-fuzz sound. An amazing price, and amazing sounds. Pretty faultless.
its a fine multi effects board, but you cant iniciate the distortion and chorus at the same time, which is really annoying. So you can't take to a gig.
I'd give this a 3.5 because at some levels the tone can be questionably spanky, but again can be a solid overdrive. I had this on my board for a while because I couldn't afford a TS or DS, it was great until I experienced a real TS and the D2 seemed a little less impressive. For the price it's good, but maybe just buy a more expensive pedal?
For my first chorus, it was a great introduction to the effect. When pushing the pedal it can sometimes produces a bit of an overdrive effect, but in a way it adds character to the pedal! It's a rich sound for a cheap price.
I'm pretty happy with this pedal I only have 2 issues, 1) It's not great for ambiance, which I understand is a preference thing but I'm a huge shoegaze fan and a big reverb sound is necessary 2) The spring reverb does produce much of the springy effect. (you know that springy sound the spring makes) However other than that it's great for amps that don't have reverb built in, or for a subtle sounding reverb in the back of your mix. It's not a bad pedal, it's really good. Just not for me.
It's fine for what it is, I'd recommend just buying an MXR Phase 90
This pedal sounds like it came from hell! Amazing fuzz nothing like I've tried before, cool octave/feedback switch. It's also reasonably priced! Outstanding pedal, gnarly lead tones also.
This thing seriously gives off some Mac DeMarco vibes! Great alternative to its Boss counter part!

So they give you an extra high e, so that's pretty sweet.

Other Gear 9

As a member of the Bullet family, this thing blew me away. It sounds great, it's pretty easy to play (if you set it up). The only problem is that I'm a pretty hardcore player and will fling guitars around. It was good until I had to constantly keep hammering the strap buttons back in. Oh and don't drop it or the finish will start to corrode away! Other than that, an amazing guitar that acts as an amazing 'tribute' to a Fender Tele.
Pros - 1) The action is great, and I had no problem with Fret buzz 2) Its a great looking guitar and lives up to its Gibson counter-parts 3) Lovely neck shape 4) The pickups are truly amazing, producing a traditional humbucker tone Cons - 1) The tuners are really cheap, 2 of mine broke (they're pretty easy to fix though) 2) Its super light, which isn't bad but can cause head dipping. Which is common with most SG's) 3) The strap button fell off a couple of times. 4) The input jack fell into the guitar twice, which was a pain to fix But it's a good guitar for any beginner!
These Capos could probably survive a meteor strike. They also look pretty snazzy.
Yeah, this guitar is amazing. With the right set-up, this thing can be better than some fenders! The pickups are clean, the neck is fat, the bridge is bouncy and it's 100% rock and roll! I'd recommend this to any intermediate guitarist.
A keyboard from 1993, it's pretty jazzy, but I found the record system almost impossible to use. But it has some really cool presets on it!
It makes your board look so much more organised and professional, worth the cash.
It's a beautiful guitar, it's got a beautiful tone, it plays really well too.
There's something about this guitar, its tone is chorus-like. I rate it highly!

Had 2

Not the best Fuzz I've ever played, but for 20 quid, not bad at all! It's got some cheap feeling parts, (like all cheap behringer pedals) however its certainly good fuzz. It's a popular misconception to think that this is a copy of a Boss Fuzz but it's closer to a Univox super fuzz in my opinion
I completely understand that is just be experience with the amp, but I had 1, then it broke, then I got another which also broke. I never pushed it, I didn't use it a lot. Maybe I was really unlucky. I had a really good time with it before it broke, it does have a great overdrive tone and I really like the bass response. Probably just my experience but I did get a refund so all's well the ends well.
