Best portable organ/piano/synth out there
Sound is second to none. Huge free sample library. Portability. Looks!

It’s an ARP 2600. No more introduction needed
One of the most fun synths I’ve ever played. I could spend hours playing it with its internal speakers (I wasn’t expecting how good they sound). IMHO, along with the Minimoog Model D and the Prophet-5, the Arp 2600 is the best sounding analogue synth ever.

Never tried the original, but it sounds AWESOME
I have never had the chance uf recording with Neumann's original 87, but in my opinion, this mic is all I might need for my semi professional studio

Nails the original perfectly
I got this since I love the original's sound and I couldn't afford one. Now it comes in a very small package, with all the lush strings sound, plus the onboard Bad Stone cloned phaser and BBD Chorus.

Classic rock? This is it!
Over the years, I’ve tried many amps. I am an Orange head (not that I am literally an amp head, but eventually I’m pretty sure I will be morph into one), with some Fender Blackface spice. I own/owned several Orange head amps and, in my opinion, this is the real trade if you’re looking for the classic British crunch and overdrive widely popularized during de 70’s. Just plug a Les Paul and you’ll be in Zoso’s territory. I also own an Orange Rockerverb 100 MKIII. These amps might look similar from the outside, but they’re quite different. Even though you can get very similar tones with the Rockerverb, the AD30’s crunch is second to none. The AD30 is a class A amp, whilst the Rockerverb is A/B. Thus, if you’re looking for a high gain amp, pick up the Rockerverb. If you’re more into classic rock crunch (Jimmy Page tones, whom used a couple of these heads -the single channel version- for the 2007 Celebration Day concert in London). In my opinion, the AD30 is also a great sounding amp head for blues (very well suited for electric blues: try the amp with a Stratocaster and you’ll be very close to Stevie Ray V territory). The amp has two “twin channels”. However, I’d say the channels are more like non-identical twins, since channel 2 is a little bit “gainier” with a tighter bass response. Do not get fooled by the “high gain” fame that Orange is associated with. The AD30 doesn’t get where other Orange amps gets in terms of gain, but again, it’s impossible not to love the incredibly musical overdrive and crunch.
