The 60 is the biggest of my three, followed by the 4000. The 3000 is the baby of the bunch.

I think I've got the best three models available, the 3KLE has Vaillixi, the 60 has Marion SCSI, all have 8 outputs.

Some uber good MPC porn there from clint246clint, the 3000SE is my fave...Would love to own one one day, used a few though.

In true BGbeats style here's the new addition to the rack...and it's not a hat lol

Zoom 1202 Studio...cheap cheap reverb but I love the sound of it

loving that rack junkie .. old midrange gear often has so much color and interesting 'problems' .. i use that kind of stuff all the time. i like imperfect studio gear.

Thanks, this is quite true I think too. But I was very surprised by the zoom, I never paid any attention to that make really or their units untill I was at a friends place, I was playing some sounds and I said ohh that Lexicon sounds so nice...response was, that's not the Lexi but the Zoom...so I got one for about £36 lol

Great thing is it's made in Japan, it's quieter than the Lexicon and it's built about 1000 times better than my US made Lexi which I had to repair enough times.

The other side of the room is even more high-tech lol

Feeling the multi-track cassette Vinyl Junkie, those are SLEPT ON by many.

Some people think you need reel-to-reel to get analog tape saturation/ colouring, any tape will do.

Yeah, I love the 4 track....It's great when you want some dirt and at £15 you can't really complain. I like the fact that you can run it at 2 different speeds..a higher speed for better sound or normal tape speed for ultimate dirt.

@Bloc Nice! Never seen those kind of mic's before..I also have one of those useless Buddha Machines and got a old MW radio for sampling too.
I'm buying a Doepfer Dark energy and some modules soon and it will hopefully go in that bit of the room..
Wouldn't mind buying a really old desktop PC and sticking it in the other corner so I can transfer WAV samples to the 3200XL not something I do often but it saves time...empty corners need to be filled hahah

you can either resize manually in paint (pc) or preview (mac) .. or on imageshack which you used, look under resizing and options and pick a less insane size, it'll do it for you.
