Acme 1500w Strobe Lighting Effect

Advantages: Very high quality DJ Deck
Disadvantages: none

...I no longer have them, due to having space, i regret selling them, i miss them, i'm gonna have them again. Ever since getting into the DJ scene, i learnt that Technics decks whether they are these or the SL1210's (black version) are and will stay the industry standard Professional DJ Turntable. I got my first one second hand for £280 with gold-plated plugs. This helped the sound quality, apparently. I then purchased a 2nd one brand new with a 2 channel mixer, for £450, inc Cart and needles. They are so easy to use. The strobe light on the front helps you find which speed the deck needs to run at, and by moving the pitch control and looking at the strobe light you can see if you are moving the track faster or slower than needed to mix.

...The Boss ME-30 Guitar Multiple Effects Pedal is a nice bit of kit. I bought mine second hand and have had it for a little over a year now.

It not only has a ton of on-board effects(which I will discuss later), but the sound quality that you get from this little 100W kicker is amazing. It has2x10" speakers, a footswitch input (footswitch/floorboard sold separately), and the usual inputs and sends. The effects on this are unparalleled. Usually on effects-based amps, the effect quality is second rate, but not here. It has a tape echo, flanger, delay, chorus, and many types of overdrive and distortion, all in 4 channels that featuring varying preset conditions. You can also save particular effects settings for instant recall. The cool thing about this amp is the tap button. It's a small round button that you tap twice, and the speed with which you tap it sets the delay, or the tape echo... Read review
