ProCo RAT 2 (used on all tracks except Classic Rock, Clean Rhythm)
Orange Crush Pro CR 120 (Clean channel used on Classic Rock and Clean Rhythm)
Ownhammer Impulse response (Heavy Hitters 2)

It's crazy that this kit costs under 100 USD, because honestly, this guitar sounds better than my Gibson Les Paul Tribute. I have been a fan of Les Paul type guitars for some time, but after playing this SG copy for a few days it SG all the way for me now. Epiphone SG is next for me for sure. There is something about the midrange in this type of guitar construction that just sounds right. Of course, it needed a lot of work and troubleshooting with the tuning issues. But it was worth putting the time into it. It now holds tuning pretty well. Because I moved the bridge on the bass side back, i could choose how far i would move it. And now it intonates perfectly with 56 gauge strings in B standard. The tone in the video does not do this guitar justice though. This guitar + BAT Pharaoh into Orange Cr120 into my Swamp thang 1x12 cab just destroys everything in its path. I will post a vid with this tone later.
