Here is a collection of the instruments / music equipment that I own. I've always enjoyed making and listening to music. I've never formally published any music, though it's something I work on every now and then.
Instrument | Description |
---|---|
Martin-DX2E ![]() |
By far my favorite guitar. I'm very partial to acoustic guitars as opposed to electric guitars. This one specifically is a dreadnought that has really nice sounding lows and mids. A gift bought for me from my grandmother during the time that I played guitar most (early high school) |
Gretsch G5220 ![]() |
First niceish electric guitar. Bought for me by my uncle randomly, who also plays (but mainly collects) guitars. Admittedly I don't really use this guitar much, but when I do it's pretty easy to play and has a nice tone. |
Catalina ![]() |
Cool old electric guitar. Given to me by my partner's late father. One that I haven't really used much, but is a cool addition to my current collection. I have absolutely no idea what the model is, and couldn't really find anything on it online. |
Ibanez RG2EX1 |
I'll add a picture for this guitar when I get a chance. I don't have it at my house currently, but I do still own it. This was my first ever guitar. It's pretty good as a starter, and works well for metal music, but doesn't really have a very nice tone. |
Ibanez SR500 ![]() |
First instrument that I've purchased with my own money. I love this bass, it's got a great tone and feels really high quality. I also really like the finish. |

Ibanez GSR200SM ![]() |
First bass that I ever got. I believe this was a birthday present from my grandma, but it may have been a Christmas present. Pretty good starter bass, but it had some issues with adjusting the truss rod (pretty annoying fret buzz), and has some lower quality pickups. I still play it on occassion, but generally play my other bass. |
Yamaha YPG235 ![]() |
First keyboard. I used this to get through a single piano class in college. I still would like to learn the piano. I'm able to play a few songs, but generally I don't know much music theory or have an good feel for the keys just yet. Once again, purchased by my grandma for the piano class. |
---|---|
Yamaha Upright ![]() |
Piano given to me by my in-laws. It seems to be a pretty nice piano, and I practice on it sometimes. It's slightly out of tune after being moved to our house, but I'm not going to get it tuned until I feel a bit more confident in my piano playing. |
Sennheiser E935 ![]() |
Microphone I recently bought on a whim. I wanted to try recording vocals with this, but wasn't a huge fan of how it sounded. Probably because I need a pop filter lmao. |
---|---|
Audio Technica ![]() |
My primary microphone. I have this setup at my desk and is pretty much what I use exclusively for recording my voice, or just chatting in Discord. Really nice microphone that comes with a shock absorber. |
Yamaha MG10XU ![]() |
Cool mixer I bought to replace Voicemeeter. I really liked using Voicemeeter on Windows, but there wasn't really a similar equivalent that I could find on Linux, and I didn't want to get deep into the rabbithole that is pipewire. It's a bit overkill for my current recording setup, but I'd rather have too many channels than not enough. |
---|---|
Focusrite Scalett Solo ![]() |
First piece of hardware I bought to record my guitar. Pretty nice and met all my needs, but I didn't really like how the monitor and headphones couldn't be controlled separately, so I moved to the 2i2. |
Focusrite Scalett 2i2 ![]() |
Bought because I thought the solo was lacking some features, plus I like having the option for 2 XLR or Line cables. I bought this before I bought the Yamaha mixer, but I use it in conjunction with the mixer sometimes to record the combined output of the mixer. |
Fender Rumble 40 ![]() |
Amp I bought recently to replace a cheap amp that I've had since I was about 7. I don't remember the brand of the old amp, but it sounded super tinny and had basically no bass. This amp has a really nice sound, and definitely doesn't hold back on the lows and mids. I've never raised the volume past about 25% as that's loud enough to be uncomfortable in the room it's in. All around really versatile amp that's especially good for electric guitar and bass guitar. |

Pedalboard Setup ![]() |
I've never really been one for effects, but I'm starting out a collection at the moment. Pedals are so damn expensive though. For now, all I've got is a basic noise reduction, a distortion pedal, and a wah pedal. Eventually I'll get some more, but I'm not really in a rush at the moment. |
