So the title gives it away really - if you were given £200 and told to spend it all on gear to extend and improve your current rigs, what would you use it for and why?
It could be anything from a forgotten vintage synth to a must-have effects pedal, new mixing/rack gear or even a paint job or mod. Fire away

I'd recommend a used iPad.

Depends on you, but me, I'd probably get an eventide H9. Or a new stand like the Km Omega

+1, but since I already have one I'd probably go for... a used Mopho or a Korg Micro X/X50.analogika wrote:I'd recommend a used iPad.

A Mopho would be interesting - but the small analogue synth market is changing with stuff like the Korg Miniloguemaxpiano wrote:a used Mopho or a Korg Micro X/X50.
I've never seen this pedal before (I'm familiar with the TimeFactor, PitchFactor etc), but the ability to have all those effects in one is pretty cool. Would you say it's similar to a Kaoss Pad because there's a some KP2s and a few KP3s at a similar price second-handGustavo wrote:Depends on you, but me, I'd probably get an eventide H9.

What about a Fantom S? Seems like a cheap way to get some Roland sounds and a half-decent keybed if you MIDI it

What about a 2nd had Ultranova. Not many buttons, though.
