Boss FS-7 Dual Foot Switch

Boldest pick: Boss FS-7 Dual Foot Switch

Only 10 pro artists on Equipboard own it, but it's ranked #16 in Switch Effects Pedals.

Synthesizers

Korg microKORG XL+

Avg price: $586.33

Beatiful!

I find this synth useful, good material and quality construction, somehat complicated to learn because his learn curve is very step up, but is worth it, a lot of possibilities and useful to use in live enviroments!

Combo Guitar Amplifiers

Roland JC-40 Jazz Chorus

Avg price: $690.23

Top solid state amp i ever have

First of all, i love the retro looking, the feel of the knob, everything looks so well made, the sound is amazing, clean and clear, loud enough to make a good live presentation, the chorus and vibrato is beatiful in so many ways, and if you have a stereo pedalboard you can exploit his full potential, have footswtich, have effect loop, deal very good with distortion pedal and overdrive, only bad thing it's kind of heavy to deal in live presentations and have a little floor noise that can be annoying but it's not the end of the world, love the reverb and the distortion it's not that bad.

Dynamic Microphones

Shure SM57

Avg price: $112.52

The royalty of mics

Easy to use, amazing to record guitar, bass and to sing in live sessions, my quick to go mic, legendary.

Active & Passive Monitors

KRK RP5 Rokit 5 G4

Avg price: $163.99

Does his job

If you want to level up your music production game, this is a must have, easy to use, intuitive, very accesible price and good quality construction, easy to install, have a lot of option to EQ and some presets useful in different enviroments, it works very fine in my small home studio, i recommend this!

Headphones & In-Ear Monitors

Audio-Technica ATH-M40x

Avg price: $118.18

The headphones for monitoring!

Useful, balanced, perfect for mixing, maybe a little uncomfortable for wearing but they do their job, don't expect a "bassy" sound because they aren't made for that, just studio use.

Audio Interfaces

It works!

I use this interface recently to record new albums and you can tell the diference in sound quality, have a lot of options to play and experiment, is build in good material, the knob feel amazing, the only thing is i don't know how to use the imput 3 and 4, it's not so intuitive, it have some bug because the software but everything else doing very fine.

Bass Combo Amplifiers

Fender Rumble 40 V3

Avg price: $257.49

Love it

This is the definitive bass amp for me in my home studio, very dinamic eq to experiment with your bass tone, very cool overdrive and amps configurations and can handle multiple music genres, easy to use, very intuitive and do very good in small venues, solid quality for the price and very lightweight.

Switch Effects Pedals

Boss FS-7 Dual Foot Switch

Avg price: $71.32

A must have if you play a lot with loop pedals

I'm a looper weirdo and i use this footswitch with my boss fc-5 and boy... you can do a lot of stuff with this boy, can programme the drums, the tempo, a lot with this switch, use your footswtich for my fender bass amp effect, it work with my synth, useful if you plan to do a live presentation alone, you just need a lot of practique to squeeze all the possibilities, useful, i don't understand why people complain about the buttons they feel very good to me, good quality material.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

buy a TRS cable that divide from stereo to two separate imputs, Just put polarity in 1 and the mode momentary and you can use without giving energy.

Phaser Effects Pedals

Boss PH-3 Phase Shifter

Avg price: $118.83

I love it

The classic durable design by boss, the knobs feel very weak but the variety of options this pedal offers it's amazing and massive, maybe have a little volume drop but it's for the same effect and still works in live venues, if you look for build a shoegaze pedalboard this pedal is going to give you that movement that you are seeking, have a very step learning curve but it's worthy.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

I love to put it before the overdrive for the van halen esque-sound

Delay Effects Pedals

Boss DM-2W Delay Waza Craft

Avg price: $165.50

Very beatiful analog delay

Amazing quality build usual in boss pedal, amazing analog textures without losing your volume, it have stereo output and a rate to configure manual with a exp pedal, love the two modes very different so the possibilities are high to experiment, i lke to use in mono mode and you can make a subtle reverb mode, i love it.

Reverb Effects Pedals

Boss RV-6 Reverb

Avg price: $146.00

I love it

Squeeze the full potential on this pedal using the stereo mode, is gorgeous, the hall, modulate is so good, the delay mode is very similate to a dd3 delay and the dynamic mode is just fun, and the shimmer is the best part if you want to create gorgeous ambient just put the tone in 0 and is a really mindblow, amazing piece of gear

Preferred Settings + Usage:

Shimmer mode with the tone in 0, beatiful landscape sound

Delay Effects Pedals

Boss DD-8 Digital Delay

Avg price: $182.12

The best delay in this type of model

Amazing build, a lot of effects, amazing sound, the stereo sounds incredible and you can adjust the delay repetition, but the secret settings it's a little complicated to learn how to use and the delay don't stop inmediatly, even you deactivate the trails, or maybe it's me that i need more experience with this pedal.

Looper Effects Pedals

Boss RC-5 Loop Station

Avg price: $200.24

After many tries, this is my looper to go

I love the boss RC-5, it give you 100 memory presets, a lot of drum patterns to play, reverse mode, you can have more features with the footswtich and have very good quality live sessions, i use to play live with him and do wonders, nice quality the classic strong boss case it's just what i need.

Pedalboards

The best first pedalboard ever

The right size, good quality build material, solid metal, beatiful color, you can have 10 pedal boss in the outside and put your power supply, eq and compressor inside, the only bad thing for me it not come with both sides ducktape, but everything else is okay.

Instrument Cables

Good quality cables

Orange offers some good durable and good quality cable for starters, beatiful made it and friendly price, it's worth the deal
