Scumback anything - he does the best modern repros of old celestions, period. I like the BM75LD, but there's a scumback for you if you love old celestions. Yes, if you already own old celestions you don't need to shop around, we know. For those of us mere mortals without access to vintage, it's unbelievable how great his products are.
Larry anything - you guys can make all the jokes you want, but the real joke is your tone compared to his amps LOL
Tonenerd anything - Scott not winding anymore is probably the biggest RT tragedy. The Roxy is the best pickup period i've ever played, and I'm among the most picky pickup guy here.
Griff anything, but especially the Chiron (griff hit it out of the park). His combination crunchlab/lightspeed is even better for me personally, but that's to be expected, it's my pedal lol
Mark II and III - not that the later revs aren't great, but those two are loved for a reason. I've never gotten along with them as much as I should, but I can recognize the greatness.
Gibson Les Paul - there is literally no replacement for a great les paul. If you don't think so, you haven't owned a great les paul. No, an esp or eII eclipse is a great guitar, but it's a different tone, different neck feel, and different thing.
Free the Tone Flight Time - I was skeptical at first, but I came around and many others are as well.
Strymon Volante - truly the best strymon pedal ever made. Yes, it's better sounding than the big sky and the timeline, and not by a small amount.
V30s - what generally seems to happen is people get a cheap chinese one, or a bad mesa one, and write them off. No dude, there's a reason people buy dozens of them trying to find the magic one. Once you find it, it's forever gear.
Classic era heavy metal guitars - 80s BC Rich, Hamer, and Dean. They are all way better than modern production guitars, and anyone who tells you differently is lying out their ass or hasn't played one that has been well kept.
Diezel VH4 - it's not a tone that I would use all the time, but holy shit that channel three is a monster. One of the biggest rhythm sounds ever.
That's just the first handful that come to mind immediately

I dont know....everything else Ive owned which has been "hyped" has not been without fault I guess.

Axe FX. It’s not for everyone, but it’s a great piece of gear…

Honestly I would put all of the "big four" modelers in this category - the axefx, kemper, QC, and helix
They are all awesome and they all have selling points for what they do best specifically
It will never "replace" tube amps but there's a reason why they are so popular and loved
