Guitars 12

Was my first guitar, brillant value for the money and a good place to start. I've changed the pickups, added and removed a killswitch, installed a new bridge and locking tuners since. Great guitar to keep in the collection as a modder and to learn setup/cleaning/wiring/etc techniques.
Great for metal, really heavy on the weight aspect too
Bought as an affordable option for a first 7 string at £319. Out of the box it needed a setup as strings were choking out all over the fretboard and the high strings had a buzz on low frets. Put a set of Ernie Ball Cobalts (top heavy, bottom slinky) on it and set it up to correct issues mentioned and it's a solid play. Will probably change the pickups to some Seymour Duncans or Bare Knuckles, as to my ear there seems to be a bit of a cocked wah sound on the stock bridge - this is more a personal preference than a criticism.

Amplifiers 4

For the money, you get a hell of a lot. I paid extra for the footswitch and would have been happy if it cost 100 more than it did. The different amp models offer a range of wonderful tones, and the presets give a good feel for what this thing can do.

Amp Sims 14

Effects Pedals 60

This overdrive is not a regular type sound, but i find when combined with lower octaves it gives a smooth tone, compared with other more basic drive/distortion pedals. It stacks withother drives really well too.
For the price this is a fantastic looper, really easy to use with straight-forward controls and a simple interface. The Jamsync function is a really neat addition for people who like to create massive loop soundscapes. The Silent Clear is really useful, as i mainly use it for creating a backing track mid-song to solo over, and often need to change riffs later in the song. Only downfall is that it's maybe a little too simple, double tapping to switch the loop off can get tedious.
I use mine as a true bypass on/off switch and booster for a kaoss pad, haven't tried the power supply option yet
On it's own it has a nice amount of gain and boost to push some nice bluesy lead tones out of my amp. I also use it to fatten up my DOD Gunslinger in a pinch. Can't really find any faults, I bought it new way back in the day and it's worth every penny now to me as then.
Powers my pedals with no issues - great buy.

Pickups 9

Software Plugins and VSTs 21

Microphones 1

Has a good level of noise cancellation/suppression and isolation. The frequency response is a great embellishment to my style of singing, something I hadn't realised was effecting my vocal with other affordable mics. Got it in a bundle with an xlr and stand for , great affordable starting point without feeling or sounding cheap. If I were being facetious, I dare say priceier mics "sound better" and could knock a star down, but taking into account everything and reviewing solely on what I have it's a 5/5
