    Man these are nice guitars for the money... too bad the United States cannot make a decent guitar for a decent price.... although if you pay the extra it will not decrease in value.. do these hold their value.... some of the guitars I bought have increased in value light the $50 at Sam Goody's The Sovereign special pss1 kiss guitar.... they were them out and I found a case and it says silver tone and I've never seen one like it I bet the case is worth more than the guitar.... the Hohner osc guitar that is amazing right out of the box for the price I've seen none for sale... but the Gibson Studio 50 gold top that just went up in value.. since I got it for 7:50 when they were going for 1300 dollars in US..... with our new elected president it's going to f*** us hard that's why I was thinking of buying something before it's too much if he does what he's supposed to do I'm not so happy with my new electric president and how is this going to affect the guitar industry where anybody works and sells anything because our prices are ridiculous now cuz of greedy people... the majority of the world does not like Humpty trumpty I know I don't.... it's going to affect the world if he gets to do what he wants and I don't think he's going to and yes it's going to affect the world guitar industry if he does what he wants and who can afford to buy a Gibson?? I wish my parents would have bought me a guitar like this when I first got one.... I took lessons at 6 years old in the 70s then my fingers hurt and I thought it was hard-working a song boy was I dumb..... and I never should have sold the harmony it was a kid size but it sounded really good then I started again in the 80s and I should have started on acoustic...... happy jamming

    I have one of these pedals, and honestly, I realy like it. The best part about it is that you can create your own patches, so you can have a load of different sounds in a row for a playlist at a gig. The only critisism is that is is a little tricky to use on the fly, live. because the buttons are so flat, its a bit hard to push the looper or the number buttons by foot. For the price of the unit though, exeptional purchase. I'm not sure if they have made it so you can add on an expression pedal, or if you have to buy the G1 XFour instead? Thanks for the review

      @@ForeFX rub carefully and don't rush it. You're wearing away layers of paint which gives it the natural look. If you wish and push too hard it will look too obvious and unnatural. It takes a little time, but wearing all the original paint down to a thin layer is the perfect way to get it to look ages in a good way.

    Please comment on ME-25 vs GT-1 or other newer mfx pedals in this category and price range if you experience with any such as Valeton 200, Mooer, Donner. I have owned the Me -25 for 6-7 yrs but always felt to tones were not satisfactory. Purchased the first version Katana Artist and now I have the Nextone Special. The Nextone has 4 tweakable analog amps, delays, distortions, and reverbs and of course effect loop. I mostly play clean NeoSoul R&B but need gain distorted sustain for solos in worship music and wah for blues and funk. Guitar is my hobby and I only play at home for family and friends with backing tracks recording myself.

      @@kentbernard9842 the GT1 is basically newer in design, but there's a charm to the ME25 and it's (now) retro interface that many love. The shift to the GT1 would not be a massive leap, but its connectivity would be an improvement for recording direct etc. Donner and the other similar prices emerging brands all seem to be roughly the same technology in different (or even sometimes the same) package / interface. Sonically, they're all on a level playing field. But, consider things like resale value and durability. Boss have one of the best QC departments in the game, so cheaper alternatives are often considered to be a risk due to their cheaper manufacturing, components and construction. If you get a good device it's all happy days. But there's a higher chance of unreliability down the road. Buy what you can afford and take care of it. Experiment with sound and everything in your signal chain. It is possible to sound pro on a budget.
