Solid strap locks
I've used other strap locks, I've broken other strap locks. These haven't failed me (yet)

Sounds great at an affordable price
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

Really sings
Put this in 5he neck position on my squire strat, it's a huge sounding pickup and really makes the guitar sing.

Solid player after new strings and a setup.
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.

Turned my lifeless 7 string into a beast
going up an extra gauge on the thicker strings really made a difference. I find the cobalt wound strings are less harsh on the fingertips, and bend easier

Exactly what I was expecting.
I have the chrome covered neck and open coil bridge in my mockingbird, coil tapped. Delivers what my stock pickups couldn't, and cleans up nicely with the coil tap.

First guitar - great for modding!
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.

On it's own it's great, before a higher gain distortion is amazing.
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.

Best practice amp I've ever owned
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.

For what it is, it is really good.
For a cheap multi-fx unit this pedal is great. Lots of neat preset patches and the ability to change it up. I still have this on my board today for a few of the modulation and pitch shifting effects. Only knocked a star off as and expression pedal needs to be bought separately.

Simple Looper, Great Price
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.

Great piece of kit
I use mine as a true bypass on/off switch and booster for a kaoss pad, haven't tried the power supply option yet

Lots of noise
This pedal is a good high gain distortion, however it has lots of feedback and noise when on and not playing.

its basically an opamp big muff with a baxandall tonestack, dependingon your soldering skills you could upgrade the opamps to lower noise models (I like Burr Brown's stuff, but its kinda hifi for some folks in guitar-land) and replace the cheap resistors with low noise metal film types. it will probably help a lot and still be cheaper than buying a similar boutique muff variant with the 2 band tonestack...

As expected
This pedal delivers as you would expect a wah pedal too, dropped a star as no true bypass option (without modding)
