Decent pitch adjuster

This works best on the harmony setting. I find the default pitch shift to have some unpleasant artifacts, at least for guitars. I would not use this as a way to not have to tune between songs

Good budget wah

Gets the exact, silly tone I’m looking for, without having to use my feet too much.

Really good beginner 7-string

Little setup required, this guitar sounds great! Perfect for heavier songs

Decent

A good beginner 5-string, though you will have to adjust the bridge to reduce fret buzz. You will also have to turn up every knob, as it is very quiet

Decent bass

Gets the job done. You get used to the plastic fretboard after awhile (even if I still prefer rosewood). And the simple controls makes this beginner friendly. The vibrant pink (or green, like mine) helps it stand out from other more natural colored basses

It’s alright

The strat itself is a classic guitar, however the specific version I have is fairly cheap. Plays alright but always has jack issues. Plus the neck feels odd, no idea how to explain it. The hotrail I installed in the bridge position makes this at least worth playing sometimes. In short, this guitar is better modded than it is stock.

Simple reverb

On the rare occasion I use reverb pre-mix, I use this pedal. A nice, budget friendly reverb pedal with great versatility

It’s alright

The center dial is super sensitive, yet stupid easy to accidentally knock over when playing, causing your tone to be different after every time you step on it. May work fine when someone in the control room is using it, but if your in the position where you have someone else turning on your pedals, you likely don’t need to worry about a budget pedal. Still fun to play around with though

Not a good guitar

Cheap as hell, but it plays horribly. Barely holds actual strings, and buzzes like crazy. Works better as a child’s toy then an actual instrument.

Decent budget tuner

I use this a lot when tuning my guitars, not much else to say other than it does the job well

Eh

Not great as a pedal, I’ve been using it as a way to split my guitar chain into two outputs. When I do turn it on, it’s too trebly to actually get a decent tone out of it. It also may just be age but the actual off-on stomp only works half the time.

Suprisingly versatile!

I have been using this as a way to quiet down my guitar tone and have almost like a phone-call esque filter. Perfect for guitar intros that go into an explosive section.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

Simple, classic chorus

Gets just the right sound with simple controls. Very intuitive, and a staple in my rig.

Classic

My default distortion, gets the job done nicely. Easily the best pick for a starter rig

Perfect beginner guitar

This was my first ever guitar, and even for an 18 y/o guitar, it still plays like brand new! It’s perfect as an all-round guitar, that can both be fairly classy, and also reach those meaty lows.

Versatile and reliable

This amp has yet to fail on me. I use it for both my basses and my guitars, and they both sound amazing! Every other amp I own always have input jack issues after around a year’s use, but this one has held up for around 4-5!

One of the best 4-input interfaces in the budget

This has allowed me to mic up my kit, have it sound good, and not have to worry about breaking the bank! I recommend this to all musicians who are starting to record material, and need to record more than two mics at once

Simple bass strings

Haven’t tried any other bass string to really tell you the difference, but these get the job done nicely

My go-to guitar string

I will probably be devoted to Ernie ball strings forever, but these are my favorite. I have put them on all of my guitars

Perfect for bass

It’s like the .6mm picks they have but slightly thinner, making it feel nicer to play on bass
