Victory V1 Sheriff Guitar Effects Pedal

Jackson JS Spectra Bass JS3 IV Bass Guitar

The JS3 IV is an extremely comfortable and playable bass, worthy of being added to your collection.

The D’Angelico Premier Bowery LS Dreadnought brings the dreadnought shape and mahogany body for a resonant, yet balanced sound.

An additional phase switch reduces feedback, while the 3-band EQ and master volume controls ensures you’ll always sound great.
Chapman ML3 Standard Rabea Massaad
The Chapman ML3 Standard Rabea Massaad is a guitar built for brutal riffs and tons of bite. Its satin-finished alder body is a balanced all-rounder and the Henchman humbucker on the bridge comes through with steely tones. The response to distortion is fantastic, and it can also be controlled via a mini-rail neck pickup.
Fender Hammertone Space Delay Guitar Effects Pedal
The Fender Hammertone Space Delay pedal proves that analogue delay effects are here to stay. Adjust its saturated tape-delay with Time, Feedback, and Level controls. The Analog Dry-Through tech preserves guitar tone through all degrees of delay. Finally, the pedal’s true-bypass switching slots it seamlessly into any pedal chain configuration.
Bugera V22HD Infinium 22W Tube Guitar Amplifier Head
Equipped with 3 12AX7 preamp tubes and twin EL84 power amp tubes, the 22W Bugera V22HD Infinium tube head can flit between smooth, clean tones or simmering overdrive.

Evans Snare Side Clear Drumhead
The 3mm, single-ply thickness of the Evans Snare Side Clear Drumhead hits that sweet spot between excellent body and response. This all-star drumhead is suitable for lower volume play, but its bright tone still cuts through louder sets.
