2. Ibanez AD9 ·
   The only thing I could wish was that it had a tap tempo function ,but it doesnt . If it were stolen I would try to find another one. A friend reckons these a worth a bit now and I got a lucky deal , but I dont know. Digital will never do what ...(more)

3. Boss DS-1 Distortion ·
   We all know this pedal indside out. I've always hated it by itself but recently I've been using it in concunction with the gain channel of my amp and It's ok there for a more grunge sound.

4. Boss OC-2 Octave ·
   Not a bad octave pedal but the new one is meant to be polyphonic which would be a huge improvement . Thats really the only problem . Bends or even adding vibrato to a note make the bass flutter and fart . Some may like that sound but I don't .

5. Maton MS2000STD ·
   I tried many diffrent guitars . Some I liked a little more but they were at least twice the cost . I'm very happy with this guitar.It a bit of a change from all the strat's and Les Pauls out there .And when I upgrade the pick ups I think it wil...(more)

6. Boss DD-20 Giga Delay ·
   I bought this because I needed a tap delay for the stuff I'm doing. Just too much a pain to be fiddling with knobs trying to dial in a good tempo on the fly . I was going to get either the DD6 or the digitech one. But the dd6 needs a special foo...(more)

7. Boss PS-5 Super Shifter ·
   The other review covered all the options and modes. I'll just add my opinon . it's not for everyone . The sounds are not analogue quality. The effects are very processed sounding and mutate your tone . Is it for me Yes . I have a ball with t...(more)

8. Dunlop Original Crybaby ·
   ALl I can say is TOO MUCH SWEEP. The top will shatter your teeth the bottom will make your bass player wince .

9. ZVex Fuzz Factory ·
   I was looking to update my fuzz sound for a long time , and here in O.Z it's hard to get these boutique items. I read pretty much everything out there to read about different fuzz's. I ordered this without playing one so it was a risk . It is ex...(more)

10. Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer ·
    I've owned this for a while and it's floated in and out of my set up . It's back cause ive found a great use for it. I have a crybaby and have always found it's too treble or too bassy at the end of it's sweep . So i use this after it and it som...(more)

11. Boss CE-2 Chorus ·
    Great old chorus pedal . Better than any other chorus I've heard or played . If you see one cheap its a great tool to have on hand . A tip . if you open it up you'll see 2 pots stuck in place with blue goo . If you get a scredriver and carefu...(more)

12. Keeley Mods MT2 Twilight Mod ·
    I really dislike boss distortion pedals . If you are reading boss(which I'm sure your not cause you dont care) This is how your pedals should sound. Keeley has taken your peice of crap metal pedal and made it sound like a METAL pedal . Whatever...(more)
