Probably the cheapest Mustang you can get for this price, and surprisingly, it's good. The cheap-ass humbuckers sound quite well, especially on high-gain settings of the amp/drive pedal. Tuning pegs keep the tuning and overall intonation is good. The odd thing is that this guitar has an Affinity Jazzmaster bridge installed... better for the user then :) Especially considering that the Bullet series are the cheapest guitars you can get from Squier. Guitar itself is very light, approximately 3kgs, thanks to the thinner body. I got mine for ~150 bucks secondhand, and I have very big plans on modifying the hell out of it, so... yeah, great guitar anyway, I am still satisfied with the sound of it with the stock parts. Edit 27.08.24: The guitar was successfully modified with all sorts of life improvement mods such as "bubba" bridge mod, pickup swap, killswitch installation and much more. I'm not planning to part ways with this guitar whatsoever, it's an absolute workhorse of mine.

It's undeniably the best gateway to electronic music on the market. Volca Sample has a very easy learning curve, and there are many video guides on the Internet. Although limited in some degree, there is an option of installing some pirate firmware to "enhance" your Volca with some useful features, such as step probability, bar filter, additional MIDI implementations, and etc. Uploading your own samples to the device might be quite complicated for the inexperienced user, and the process itself is a very long and boring one... Also it's good to keep in mind that Volca Sample has only 4MBs of memory, and overall length of samples can't be longer than ~65 seconds. But even with all these limitations, It's still a great beatmaking/songwriting tool, that can help you by teaching the basics of production of electronic music.

After using this synth for more than two years in genres apart from acid (mainly drone/ambient), I can definitely say that it's a great sounding tool if you know what you are doing. It has better timbral options compared to the stock TD-3 by Behringer. The ability to connect it to the modular setup greatly improves the sonic palette. The plastic enclosure is not that big of a problem, especially when the synth is only used at home/studio, although it didn't stop me to use TD-3-MO in live situations, and bring it to the practice spaces. Also I really admire the decision to include the sub-oscillator, really helps to fatten the sound of this mono synth.

There is nothing in this pedal that stands out, apart from the dry only mode, which can be useful if you use it in the FX loop of your amp/mixer/whatever. One particular thing that bothers me, is that this pedal gets easily overdriven, especially on high amounts of feedback (probably past 2 o'clock). Still a great compact delay pedal for this price.
