I really like them. I wasn't sure about the headstock but it grew on me. I think they would be a superb guitar.

I use an Xotic SP Compressor - I don't squeeze the crap oit of my signal but I do use it to give a bit more sustain. I meave it on all the time. I find it adds a bit of life to my sound.

T-Rex Tape Echo - Replicator

T-Rex are nearly ready to release a real tape echo - The Replicator - that video is a sneak peak.

It has a cartridge (new ones will cost 20 euro). Tap tempo.

More details from the T-Rex founder

It looks pretty cool.
