This is my Ibanez GRG320FA, in transparent blue. It was a Christmas
gift from 2025 and is tuned to E standard.
I find the
bridge pickup to be very warm, but still able to provide a strong,
harsh distorted tone.
The middle-bridge is remeniscent
of that from a stratocaster - twangy & compressed. Same goes for the
middle.
the neck-middle position is similar to
middle-bridge but a bit more muted. Similar goes for the true neck
position.

Yamaha Pacifica 012V

This is my Yamaha Pacifica 012V in black, whom was a gift from my
dad. This was my first electric guitar overall too! Tuned to E
standard.
Bridge pickup, warm yet
also bright, kind of what you'd expect from a humbucker.
Middle-bridge, same as before, I'm trying not to be
repetetive trust me please
I don't use any of the other
pickups so there isn't really much else to say.
Cort AD880 SB

This is a Cort AD880 SB, in sunburst (hence SB). It was a cheap
upgrade for my previous steel string acoustic, a Martin Smith, and
plays a whole lot better. Tuned to E standard.
I don't
particularly have a comment for the sound character; but it
certainly gets the job done as an acoustic (at least volume wise).
dont mind the sock on the nut; I use it as a mute
Squier Sonic telecaster

This is my Squier Sonic tele in butterscotch blonde, it was also a
Christmas gift but from 2023. This was my first guitar that I got
first-hand as well. It's tuned to Eb standard or Drop C#.
The bridge pickup is.. as you'd expect from a telecaster; warm &
muted, yet bright.
Middle position is twangy and a bit more muted; comparable to the
middle-bridge position from a strat.
Neck pickup, I
don't have a comment for because I don't use it very much at
all.

Dunlop GCB95 Wah

This is, as you could guess, a Dunlop GCB95 Wah pedal. I don't
really know how I would caption this with sound characters like my
guitars, because it doesn't even have settings; it's literally
just a band pass sweep.
Yeah that's about it.
Behringer EQ700
Apologies for the shaky image, first off. But anyways,, I
primarily use my EQ as a glorified boost, as the Middle-bridge on
the Ibanez is far quieter than using the humbucking pickups
entirely.
Can be very versatile though, I first used
it as a mids/treble boost (I really wanted bright tones) but have
since moved to using it as a level boost. Probaly could use for mids
scooping.

Boss OD-20

A Boss OD-20 Drive Zone. Love this thing. Very versatile.
The manual mode is set to - uh I can't be bothered to
say because it varies too much lamo.
I'd say the 4 programs, but I can only remember the models they
were and it would also make this section too long.
program 1 - OD-2 at 3:00 drive, I believe. Program 2 -
i forgot. Program 3 - Metal (amp sim), full drive. Program 4 -
Muff fuzz (EHX big muff), full drive as well IIRC.
Electro-Harmonix Small Clone
I really like Nirvana. A lot less compared to when I initally
bought this pedal, albeit I still enjoy all of their music.
Good for shimmery tones, adds pseudo-brightness. Can
be used for wobbly, unstable sounds, i.e. high rate and depth
switch up; can be chaotic with distortion. Might replace with Boss CE-20 or
a TC Electronic Mimiq Doubler.
TC Electronic Thunderstorm Flanger

I like using this as if it were a phaser (for distorted tones at
least) so it's really prominent and takes over the entire signal,
kind of. I could probably use it for subtle sweeps, similar to
that of the intro from "Going Away To College" by Blink-182, from
their album Enema of The State.
I really need to get more
commentary for these paragraphs. Will replace with TC Electronic SCF Gold.
