Probably one of the most sensitive, all over the place tuner pedal i've gone through. If you're just a tad bit out, the LED's have a spaz.
Considering some of the wrap Behringer get for producing cheap gear, this phaser pedal is well built. Purchased after looking for a cheaper alternative to the Electro-Harmonix Small Stone phaser and after playing them side by side, there is extremely little to no difference in sound other than some quiet hiss (although that could be my power supply). The depth is only decreased by slightest amount but the difference in depth is almost undetectable. The toggle switch however, is probably the only thing wrong with the VP1, as there is no click when switching in on so it seems to slide down and up again. I'd probably invest in a replacement switch but other than that, the VP1 is definetly the pedal you want if you're looking for the 70s phase tone at a cheap price.
To be completely honest, it isn't the pedal you want if you want spacey delayed-echos, but it is definitely a good pedal for 50s or 60s rock n roll or rockabilly sort of stuff. Not the most versatile but definitely a good pedal for short, tape echo-ish sorta sounds.
The MXR analog chorus is a great pedal in my opinion. It provides some lush swishes and sways (if that's what you want to call it) for a nice, clean guitar tone. It can also provide some cool leslie-ish effects for a crunchy/bluesy guitar tone. For me, it doesn't sound as good distorted as it is clean. Overall nice, versatile pedal.
I like this pedal because it allows me to get some cool, lo-fi, almost processed sounds out of it. Put this after an OD pedal, set all dials between 10 and 11 o'clock, and prepare to be blown away.

The DS61 is a great synth/keyboard, some patches sound very nice and are reminiscent of some older, vintage synths. The keyboard feels great and have many configuration options regarding key placement and velocity. To me, it's not very versatile regarding making your own synth sounds, but some of the preset patches get the job done, although as a keyboard it's amazing. Overall great keyboard/synth.
In my opinion, the Dave Smith Mopho is one of the most versatile and under-rated synthesizers. For me, I mostly use it as a "thickener" if i want some of my bass lines to be a bit fatter. It's also very good for leads if you just need a little touch of it here and there. Lots of versatility in the LFOs and envelope filter. It does take a while to get your head around what you have to do to achieve the sound you want, but once you know your way around the synth, you're off.

DP-02 is a really good 8-Track for anyone whose beginning to experiment in a home studio. Some built-in effects sound the same but and the EQ knobs don't change the sound too much. Other than that, its great for beginners or anyone who is into basic sounds.
Very cool old-school samples, good for demo tracks or keeping acoustic drums in time. Also very good for maybe late 80s early 90s synth pop.
