Distortion Effects Pedals

Pro Co Fat Rat

Avg price: $178.88

The best RAT

Needed a distortion and was pleased to find this beefed up RAT. Classic sound, solid construction, big ol knobs... awesome! about $100 more than a regular RAT, but worth it in my opinion. Like that you can run it at 18V for more headroom/higher fidelity, as I am mainly using this in the studio.

Compressor Effects Pedals

Xotic Effects SP Compressor

Avg price: $158.05

Dynamic Microphones

Cheap, works fine

I got this on sale for $10. Needless to say it's not the most mind-blowing mic ever, but it does the job. It's a dynamic mic with a supercardioid pickup pattern. Has some handling noise, but hard to complain about it at the price I paid.

Audio Samplers

Casio SK-1

Avg price: $72.00

nostalgic dreams of circuit bending

I have owned this since I was an 80s child. I would love to circuit-bend this lil guy someday. Y'know, when I learn how to circuit bend.

Electric Basses

Ibanez GSR205

Avg price: $288.46

affordable 5-string bass with a Sisters Of Mercy tone

5-string active bass. Cheap, and can get a nice Sisters Of Mercy tone out of it.

Headphones & In-Ear Monitors

Okay for DJing

Got these because I needed a pair of lightweight, inexpensive, low-impedance headphones to use for DJing. They work okay for that purpose, and they look nice. They feel slightly cheap and the sound is not super amazing so I can't recommend them for studio use. They are very comfortable though! I have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT-770s that I prefer to use for the studio.

Keyboard Stands

Solid

Pricey stand, but rock solid and looks amazing on stage! Love that there is room underneath so your knees aren't bumping into an X-stand, and you can put pedals underneath or whatever. Amazing! I originally had the 18810 + 18813, but decided to add a third tier, which meant swapping out the 18813 for a 18811 and adding a 18821. Well worth it!

Keyboard Stands

Perfect stand

This is easily the best keyboard stand I have ever owned. The biggest problem I encounter with most keyboard stands is that they almost never leave any room for your legs or for a pedal board or something underneath. This stand solves that problem with class. Looks amazing and distinctive, rock solid construction (no wobbling or keyboards sliding around AT ALL), folds up cleverly, even includes little velcro ties to keep your cables from getting messy. A little pricey, but worth every cent, and you can add all kinds of attachments to tailor it to your needs (I just have the 2nd tier "stacker", but you can also get a music stand, laptop holder, mic stand, etc.)

Production & Groove

Roland MC-707 Groovebox
