This device is awesome for people who need concrete buttons. As a jazz and R&B producer and performer, this has limited use as a midi musical device for performing, especially since it lacks velocity. This is great for making shortcuts and macros to help with music production and mixing, though.

This is the first pre-built fretless I have bought. If you are getting into Jaco or Steve Bailey and want to emulate their sounds, this isn't the bass for you, but it does offer a unique and stunning tone that allows for plenty of versatility.

I've used this pedal almost every day for 4 years. It is a workhorse of a device with little-to-no limitations on length or number of layers. As a "starving artist", however, I must say that for the price, I expected a much more modular, high end board. This feels ripped out of the late 90's, with very little "ease-of-access" when it comes to modifying mappings. For this price, I should really have more control over what I can do on this board.

If you are looking for an amp to jam with your friends, or take to a park and make some money, this workhorse digital amp is for you. If you are looking to bust some ear drums at a show that night, stick to something a bit more pricey, it is worth it.

Summary says it all. It's a nice, higher-end guitar, but for the price, a fender jazz 5 will really do you better in the long run.

This is the only commercially available electric-acoustic harmonica out there. As such, it has absolutely nailed it. Loud enough to fill a street corner or small venue unamplified, but resistant-to-feedback enough to allow the wonkiest of pedals and effects through it.

I know this may be objectively untrue, but after having used these in 3 different homes, for studio mixing, active listening, and more, and even, one time, as a PA system in a pinch, these still are my favorite monitors to date. Eat it, Yamaha.

I podcast, and this microphone has it all. If you want an amazing, low-maintenance microphone to use in a small vocal studio, this is the one to go with.

Perfect board for studio, and great as a live vocoder. My only gripe is that the inputs are on the top. I understand that as a desktop synth, that's the most convenient place for them, but really sucks for rack mounting.

Great for a quick dirty recording session, especially in a live music setting. Perfect for getting gritty, raw vocals as well. I use this for my vocoder mic, and it works wonders. Recently switched to a 57, though.

Need a ton of cheap pairs of headphones? Grab these, dime a dozen, and really predictable volume curve. No worries when monitoring in a podcast or live session, but for a studio set-up, get something nicer.

Found this in a pawnshop for 70. Sound quality and DI potential is amazing, works best for vocals and light synths (pads).

Currently using this as a basic sequencer, but if you're looking for a powerful sequencer, the Beatstep pro would be better suited.
