In my honest opinion the bets pedals are strymon as they are studio quality. I wouldn’t use live as I’d use my bullet proof boss pedals but the kemper has them all covered anyway.

Kawai - also made synths - the K1.....

Indeed they did.  They were far better known for their keyboarded instruments rather than their fretboarded instruments!  I think they still make pianos.

Their venture into guitar making was less successful, but some of their models were real quality.

In my humble opinion the best guitar is my superstrat made at the Bailey workshop...it’s exactly as I wanted guitar.

Ah well, if we're talking specific individual guitars, rather than more general makes/models, then my best guitar was also made in the Bailey workshop.

But not by me ....
