this one's okay:

probably spend it all on one hardware effects unit, it'd be a tough decision though.

maybe:

been curious about these as well:

a golden ratio delay sounds interesting..

and:

not sure if these even exist though, probably way more than $500 if one ever turned up..

also, saw one of these for $350 on craigslist a week ago:

certainly wouldn't mind having one around

Man, excellent taste! Although the moog is a bit out of the range (new that is). I have heard people say that the moog is a bit too dark. They are probably just harmony central fags though. It really ought to have an adjustable passband at that price point though (and MIDI).

And the seven woods audio space station is SO nice. I would love to own one, but the price is nearly 3 times the amount being chucked into your countenance: http://www.analoguehaven.com/sevenwoodsaudioinc/sst-206/

Pigtronix makes really nice stuff. For delays at that price point you should also consider this empress piece: http://www.analoguehaven.com/empresseffects/superdelay/

I use a Malekko Echo 600 Dark (now discontinued, but still very much available). Heavy demonstration here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p28AQEBH0R4

Discontinued most likely because the Ekko 616 is so much better on paper. http://www.analoguehaven.com/malekko/ekko616/

I had to opt for the massive aluminum knobs, metallic green paint, vintage robot, and pink LED though. To me there is so much opportunity for an effect pedal to be an ornate, whimsical little inspiration box.

I do care a lot for a simple analog delay. You'll find yourself dialing in interesting, evolving trails (triplets, sixtuplets, warped slapbacks, occult) when you aren't just throwing on an eighth note tempo synced unit and calling it a day.

And you have more notes to cash to spare.

Dolla, dolla, bills y'all

Man, that thing is thoroughly dipped in calx. Reminds me of that nightmare I had the other night. If the hypothetical gods had me choose between getting fucked by a rhinoceros and always having to run my gear through the groovebox, i'd have to hit the kegelcizer.

yeah, i would certainly look for the moog used, which usually runs around $500. it's tough to trust those harmony central reviews, but i've never seen one show up around here in person so it's all i have to go on. chances are i'd swing for something a little more under the radar, like that empress you mentioned, which looks incredible. so many different delay modes.

jesus, $1400? there's quite a few synths that would step into the picture before that one's sitting on the table.

that echo 600 sounds so syrupy and fat, i'll definitely have to look more into that one, too.

i just bought one of these the other day with money i don't have:

it's been amazing so far, but i haven't gotten jack shit done since i got it because it's too fun to toy around with. farily quiet too until you start really cranking the gain, which usually isn't necessary. i'm leaning towards getting a digital reverb next to add to the chain to see how they interact with each other.

so when do i get this $500?

Man, imagine your productivity if it had exposed springs.

Perhaps you'll receive the moola when you hit the pillow tonight. Or maybe when she does. take dey cash mayne!

I'd pull the trigger on the Metasonix r52.

Uh oh... look forward to hearing how you handle that.

I am still loving acid 016. Lots of righteous moments have been had to that track of yours man!

if I had another 100 left I'd buy a Revox A77 or something like that

Over rated. I have and XPS and Im going to sell it for whatever its worth. Buy a really good desktop and and crappy web book for college.

I would have to go with a decent bass amp or a yamaha cs10. maybe an sh101 if i could find one that cheap.

Id love a decent pre-amp.

Chassis - out of the price range - but, something to nut your nut to:

And amen to that 101!!
