Musicians: List your equipment (all of it)

Josef_K wrote: Wow... you people have some amazing equipment! I did consider buying a third keyboard this year but since it is impossible for me to use one on live gigs I've upgraded other equipment instead. I am still tempted by the idea to get a vintage monophonic synth in the future though, and alternate between that one (if it's working) and my Moog Little Phatty on stage and in the studio. Anyway, my current equipment:   Keyboards Nord Electro 2 - 73 key version Moog Little Phatty - Tribute Edition A great old upright piano which ended up in my possession since I was the only family member using it   Pedals Moog Moogerfooger Mf-103 12-stage phaser EHX Deluxe Electric Mistress flanger Moodysounds Strange Devil Echo (analog delay, broken atm) Earthquaker Devices Rainbow Machine Some tuning pedal for my Moog... don't remember the brand. All attached to my Pedaltrain 2   Guitars Simon & Patrick acoustic guitar Epiphone SG   Amps DNS Studio 20, great tube-driven bass-amp with a high frequency response. Incredible for E. Piano and Organ sounds. Hiwatt G20, kinda lame, I don't use it anymore   Microphones Line Audio CM3 (x2, purchased recently to record my upright piano) The CM3s are the only ones in my personal possession, other microphones I use when recording in our family's little home studio are: Shure 545 (x2) Line Audio SM3L Oktava ML-52 (x2, incredible for drum overhead/ambience and vocals if you use a dark voice)   Recording Frost Audioframe laptop Cubase 6 M-Audio Fastrack ultra 8R soundcard Presonus Bluetube preamp Zoom H4 portable recorder, I don't use it for any studio recording but it's great as a headphone amp when practicing (I never practice at home without headphones, believe it or not but some people actually don't like to hear me experiment with sound effects for hours or playing "The Lamia" incorrectly over and over again, they get enough of that from the Upright Piano)   Finally the equipment I use the most by far, my Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro Headphones.

Most of this is my brothers, but some of it's mine and some is both of ours:

Ooh...at present:

º Alesis QX49: Not exciting, but a pretty good portable MIDI keyboard/controller. Replaced my M-Audio Radium 49, which it's much less bulky and more lap-friendly than.
º DigiTech DSP 256XL: Basic digital delay/reverb/chorus unit. Nothing amazing, but I got it cheap and it works well.
º Samson PL1602: Another it-was-cheap buy, a pretty decent 16-channel mixer, for hooking so many disparate devices to a couple pairs of audio inputs...
º Generic Core 2 Duo XP box: For recording, processing, and mixing.
º Oberheim Matrix-6: The sweetest thing I own, at the moment. Not as fat and mighty as the classic Oberheim polysynths, but I got a great deal on it from a guy in my area, so I can't complain - and it is pretty good.
º Roland MT-32: Cheesy little Roland LA synth, severely cut-down compared to the D-50 but a classic of oldschool computer gaming.
º Roland M-BD1: A JV-series ROMpler loaded up with samples from professional session bassists and drummers. A good special-purpose workhorse module.
º Yamaha TX7: Module version of the original DX7. Warm, complex 6-operator FM synthesis - now if only it were multitimbral!
º Yamaha V50: Keyboard version of the TX81Z module. Only 4-operator synthesis, but the addition of multiple operator waveforms gives it a distinct character from Yamaha's other FM synths.
º E-mu Proteus/1: Early ROMpler. Later ROMplers try way too hard to sound "realistic" and mostly wind up either bland or in the Uncanny Valley; this one revels in the '80s cheese, and ends up sounding a lot stronger than it really ought to as a result.
º Korg 05R/W: Another ROMpler from a little later on, but it's similar to the Proteus in that it isn't trying to sound like anything but what it is. Excellent sound palette and some good tweakability. I'm currently auctioning it on the 'Bay with an eye towards trading up to the upgraded Korg X5DR.
º Korg MS-20 Mini: Don't actually have this yet; I put in my order, but it doesn't ship until close to the end of the month. Nevertheless, it's going to be glorious. Full recreation of a classic analog monosynth with semi-modular capability for $600? Yes please!

In addition, I'm going to be getting a Roland JX-10 from the guy I bought my Oberheim from, before too long...can't wait.

Bought a Vermona Mono Lancet analogue mono synthesizer 6 weeks ago.
The Moog Voyager, Little and Sub Phatties are fantastic synths - but they don't, I find, have the warmth or organic sound of the Minimoog model 'D'. This thing does.

It was the second largest they sold way back when) Roland (Very very small. I can’t remember the model. It’s at home.) Another small one, don’t remember My little Roland amp is called a Micro Cube. I forgot to mention my Bouzouki first go around. Since I posted I got: another Dgitech Timebender another Digitech Harmony Man (What's the sense of having 2 Timebenders if you have only 1 Harmony Man?) 2 more Line 6 FM4 Filter and Synth Modelers (They only store 4 of your favorite sounds, and I have more than 4, so I got more) 1 more Nervous Squirrel ring modulator (No explanation needed.) 4 Behringer Preamp Boosters (Don't judge me. I need several and they're only $25.) 1 Behringer NR300 Noise Reducer 1 Behringer Dynamics Compressor (believe it or not, it has a metal housing) And my Alesis SR-18 came in. Highly recommended. Great sound. Lots of control of different parameters. Great control for live use (get a foot pedal for it). It also allows you odd time signatures with quarter notes, 5/4, 7/4, 9/4 and so on. For eighth note time signatures you have to be content with doubling up on the tempo.

Since I posted last I bought a Multi-Overtone MO-2 pedal, which is new from Boss. I was one of the very first to get one, as Sweetwater was the first retailer to get them, and I was first on their waiting list.
I also got a Roland GR-D V-Guitar distortion. Nice distortion, but what I really got it for was the saw tooth sound. It's made for the GK-3 pickup, but unlike the discontinued Boss Wave Shaper, which I also own, it can also use a regular guitar cable.
I bought a GK-3 pickup, but haven't installed it yet. I had hoped that it would be an easy install, but it's not. And I'm not sure I even want to mess with my Les Paul.
I also got two more Behringer Preamp/Boosters, and
1 more Nervous Squirrel ring modulator

I can definitely relate to your situation. I've come back to it after a long respite. Finding space to set up fully is also a problem for me too. Aria Pro II's were nice guitars, I must say. I haven't run across them anymore. Mine was a nice compromise between a Strat sound and a Les Paul sound.
-Best.

My gear is still packed in a storage room after a long period without playing but I think that I will try again soon, I just need to wait until I can tidy the spare room to make some place for the instruments.

Behringer Ultrabass BX300--30 Watt amp (Borrowing it, hoping to buy it from owner)
