Jet City Amplification: PicoValve   
Category:guitar amplifiers     Rating:8.8
The Jet City Amplification PicoValve is a 5 watt tube amp that just oozes tone. It seems to made ideally for modern rock and metal.


EMG: 60   
Category:pickups     Rating:8.8
I have to say I am very impressed with the pickup, it's got great tone and feel and it looks pretty sleek in the guitar too.


Squier: Affinity Strat   
Category:electric guitars     Rating:7.3
Contoured hardwood body; rosewood or maple fingerboard; 21 frets; 3 single-coil pickups; 5-way switching; 1 volume, 2 tone controls; single-ply white pickguard; tremolo.


Aina: Days Of Rising Doom: The Metal Opera   
Category:compact discs     Rating:9
Release Date: Mar 23, 2004. Label: The End Records. Genres: Metal. Number Of Tracks: 23. This album definitely has its moments of grandeur that have not yet been duplicated by any other power-metal band.


Egnater: Tweaker   
Category:guitar amplifiers     Rating:7.7
This is a fantastic amplifier for the money, and blows other micro stacks (Vox Night Train, Marshall Haze) right out of the water.


Sheridan: A200   
Category:electric guitars     Rating:8.4
This guitar suits exactly my styles - rock in general. The tone is above average, very good hardware, very nice finish. There is only one fault I can find - the stock pickups. Overall a brilliant guitar for the price.


Washburn: X10   
Category:electric guitars     Rating:7.8
X10 including sealed schaller style tuners, SSH pickups, five position switch, heavy metal control knobs, fulcrum tremolo bridge, and a smooth fast hard maple neck with rosewood fingerboard.


GFS: Fat PAT   
Category:pickups             Rating:9.3
In personal satisfaction it just might be superior due to the $29.95 price tag.


Upon A Burning Body: The World Is Ours
Category:compact discs             Rating:8
Released: Apr 6, 2010. Genre: Deathcore. Label: Sumerian Records. Number Of Tracks: 10. UABB have shown that Deathcore isn't dead. Unlike genre mates like I Declare War or Carnifex, they don't conform to the same mold, and create their own, unique sound that matches the emotion and delivery of the vocals.


Rocktron: Zombie   
Category:guitar effects     Rating:9
The Zombie creates a rectified asymmetric distortion while allowing user control of the symmetry balance of the distortion output waveform. Rocktron states that this creates a psycho-acoustic 3D sound positioning effect.
