Thread Starter | Desert Island Outboard Gear
Hey guys!
So lets say you were being sent to a desert island with only one synth and one good amplifier and you were allowed to choose up to four pieces of outboard gear but no computer. Which pieces of outboard gear would you bring?

Prophet 08 and my MEK with my trusty Peavey KB100 amp. Plus my MXR analog stereo chorus.
All will be good!

Apprendista already won the thread, no reason to continue. But I'd choose:
Eventide H8000FW
Bricasti M7
Axe-Fx II
Analog Man King of Tone or Chorus
Now that's assuming we're talking pure outboard effects, if any kind of outboard is available (including synths, compressors, etc.) going from the stuff I have I'd probably go with:
Axe-Fx II
Bricasti M7
ARP 2600 (it's GREAT for processing audio!)
Alta Moda Unicomp

But wouldn't we want to know what synth or amp we were effecting?
Outboard effects would have been a better phrase- gear kinda general.
Still a good idea for thread.  | |

And if the speakers didn't come with the amplifier, swap the mixer and the processor for speakers and a hot chick. We're on a desert island after all.

At this desert island I assume there are some 110V or 220 V power outlets in some palm tree. My outboards (of those I own) would in that case be:
- Oberheim Xpander
- Moog Minitaur
And on my way to that desert island I would pick up my next purchase: a Prophet 08.
I also should make a goal to produce on song per week (need my MB Pro for that) until rescue arrives - or perhaps I would like stay if nice climate - the opposite of were I live right now...
If wireless Internet and a King Size bed and all meals included at that desert island it would be even better | |
