Tech 21 XXLAwesome. There are complaints on this forum that the drive from the pedal is still too high at '0,' which actually makes sense after putting this pedal through its paces for a couple days. You have to use that volume knob on your guitar to get the most out of this pedal, I think. Would not be the case if you prefer more gain than I do, which is probably the case with a lot of people on this board. Gain is cool, but I never play barre chords or power chords, and I like weird intervals, so just a little bit goes a long way for me.

TC Electronics 'Ditto' looper pedal. It is tiny! Feels very solid, in common with the other TC pedals I've seen. Simple and intuitive to use. Super cool.

Vox AmPlug, "Classic Rock" model. It does what it says on the box. Comes in handy for practicing these AC/DC songs. Overpriced by about $10.

Squier '77 Jazz Bass (used),You were an incredible deal. Many pairs of jeans cost more than you. Black/black/maple is the best look for a guitar and you've got that down. You need a new nut and some fret work, but ultimately, you are a bass guitar with a thin neck, and for some of us that's all that matters.Joyo octave fuzz,You are exactly what I expected. You came in a box branded PEDAL. You apparently are made wrong, with some caps out of order, but I've decided I'm okay with not modding you back to health ”I don't like the octave on my octave fuzzes to be overwhelming anyway. You are an appropriate price for a pedal that will be used four times a year. Good job. P.S., sorry about the labour practices that begat you.

Dr Scientist Mini-Reverberator. Two decay times, changing when not bypassed makes a cool "splash". level knob fully C/C is unity gain, provides all boost which is a nice touch. mix control has good range/gradual shift. 100% wet retains full low-end and sounds insane. v happy with it. Really like the rotary setting it has a bonus.

I had the Vox 'Classic Rock' one, too. That was one rare instance where I thought earbuds were more flattering than good headphones. Yeah, I was surprised to pay nearly $40 for one as well.

Vox AC15C1Yep. Fantastic amp. I had started to become disillusioned with guitar, but it was basically because I hated my amp. This thing has made me a believer once more. So it's quieter than my 60 watt Fender. Don't give a fig. Sounds like I wished it would... which is well worth the trade off in power.

Made me want to play electric again, after a long period of just acoustic. It's wonderful.
