Omg I liked the EA-1 lol, wish I still had it. I think strictly for nostalgia reasons because yeah on paper itās kind of fuckin garbage.
I donāt know Iāve ever regretted any gear, minus yes, bullshit Windows laptops and tablets I bought thinking it would make a difference. But Iāll be honest, I donāt buy a lot of hardware. Iām usually able to stop myself with my right brain before it happens
Peavey DPM SX
This was a physical case of me not understanding how the word "sampler"
didn't mean what I thought of as sampling. Expensive mistake. My next purchase was:
Alesis QSR QS Composite Synthesis Rack
Much better for a keyboard focused old timer... I got all the extra Sound Modules too.
Fair piano for the 90's.
@jolico I've got a Yamaha A3000 that I've tried several times to give away and failed. I had good times with it, but it's well beyond obsolete. I can't chuck it though, in perfect working order, just migrates round my house, shed and old car on a decade long rotation. SCSI cd-rom and a Zip drive, man I thought I was living the future back then.
Gibson Les Paul Studio Raw (warped neck, misaligned neck)
Marshall JCM900 trade for my silverface Fender Bassman 50
Radikal Technologies Spectralis 2 (masochist's wet dream)
'Oberheim' OB-Mx (fire hazard)
Yamaha EX5 (love & hate it: SCSI transfers always corrupt, underpowered CPU, sloppy sequencer)
TC Powercore 6000 (another masochist's fave)
99% of Eurorack (waste of $$$)
99% of Roland products with display (don't like their deep-dive menu system)
Deca Durabolin, gainz come from a lot of water bloat, then thereās the acne and fits of rage... wait... oooooh you mean like music gear. Uh, how do you delete a comment?
I loved my A3000 waaaay back in the day. Ended up using it more as an FX unit than a full on sampler and barely touched my scsi hard drive that I hooked up to it. It was all very under utilized given itās potential and the price I paid as I got into software solutions right around that time. I still use lots of sample fodder to this day that I made with it some twenty+ years ago. Was easy for me to give away free on Craigslist.
The SCSI expander is worth 3x what the A3000 is worth.
At least to EX5/7 & SU700 owners. Until they plug it in and discover that everything they transfered is corrupt.
But it sounds okay?! Check the loop points.
Roland SP-808
Sequential Circuits Studio 440
Ensoniq TS10 and EMU Ultraproteus.
Less so, but also Ensoniq SQ80 and EMU Morpheus.
Still have these, want to buy? š
Don't use any of them though I might start using last two again. Both Ensoniqs are both huge and heavy and keyboards are terrible, but relative to other stuff, they were bargains since I got them used. LOL.
Akai MPC 500
Roland JD-Xi
Ableton push2
All the items you are listing here are somewhat sought after, esp the Emu stuff.
Is somebody writing all these down so we can do a Venn diagram with the gear you regret selling? And @Korakios I've never heard anybody saying anything bad about the Push 2 ever. Are you saying you want to leave the Ableton Cult?
I was never a Live user ,although it was cool. Push2 wasn't (for the price)
Didn't like the pads, too much page flipping , most mods where available only from Max4live ,no 16 level pitch, no hybrid view (aka Force) . Also when I sold it ,the buyer told me the touchstrip died ,fortunately it was within guarantee .
I was expecting to get rid of the computer screen ,but it wasn't possible. I bought an MPC One
@Crawlingwind Yeah, for sure, the prices have gone up since I bought them, so that's a positive.
I'm less willing to part with the EMU stuff, because they are slim racks and barely take up any room. I should make use of them. The problem is programming them is a beastly exercise.
I get it - I have both of those in a rack that is stored away right now. Theyāre great though...
Behringer C1U condenser mic is the only one I can think of. That thing is so horribly quiet. I love their synths but I hate that mic
Zenza Bronica ETRSi with 75mm lens and 150mm lens.
I mean, itās a very good medium format camera, the lenses are very good, but I already had a perfectly good Mamiya C330 with five lenses, and all the Bronica SLR did is stop me using the Mamiya TLR. Actually I donāt regret having the Bronica, but of the two Iād now sell the Bronica and keep the knackered old Mamiya TLR system (and then never use it either because I basically donāt shoot film any more). (In fact, I basically donāt shoot cameras any more, almost only use my iPhone for everything now).
Korg Electribe 2 - Ran out of polyphony way too soon and not really a real time tweaking groovebox.
Elektron Analog Rhythm MK2 - Mine had heat issues and I hated the fixed pad assignments for the engines.
Ovation acoustic guitar (forgot the model) - I wanted one SOOO bad for many years, and when I finally got it I really disliked how it sounded.
Boss Multi-Overtone pedal - Was nowhere near as cool as the Tera Echo I loved.
Sequential Pro 3 - So much potential on paper but I just never bonded with the sound of it. And it made me realize I really need to stop buying monosynths.
Pretty much the vast majority of keboard midi controllers I bought over the year, most barely got used.
Maybe there ought to be a thread called āGear you regretted buying initially but now donātā
Which is often the case, in my case.
Sp-404, 505, 606
Had a 303 and loved it, got stolen.
Wanted to replace it, didn't want to spend $400 (got these between 120-300 each.)
They all suck (404 and 606 don't have the magic sound, 505 and 606 are painfully slow to work with.)
Kenton Killamix MINI. I barely used it the first year I got it, but it's one of those things I keep turning to in weird situations and I'm so glad I have it. Can't believe it's still class compliant....

Akai MPD-226. Had to hit the pads so hard compared to other pads to register...and when they did there was a good chance they would double trigger š
My biggest regret was a Studiologic Sledge.
When I got it, i thought to myself should I get an iPad or the Sledge. I went with the sledge instead of the iPad. I was skeptical of getting an iPad because you know itās software, there are updates, things go wrong, etc. I got an iPad about half a year later but was using iPhone for music at that point.
I think I got it because I had just moved away from a band I used to play with and was probably thinking along the lines of still gigging with that particular band.
Anyway, it was way to wide to stack up in a 3 tier X Stand, the VA sound was okay but nothing to write home about, the built in effects werenāt very good, the knobs were wobbly, and it wasnāt a very good MIDI controller. Had it worked better as a MIDI controller meaning octave shift and easily switching MIDI channels I might have thought it would be okay to keep, but I sold it. It was a long waiting game, but I managed to sell it for only 100 USD less than I bought it for. I canāt remember if I lost on shipping.
Ensoniq VFX-SD. Not that it was all that bad but because of what I let go at silly money to get it. š
It would have been great for sampling and FX if it didnāt have those crappy ārotary encodersā. So frustrating. Such a flow killer.

Shure SM7B
To my ears it wasnāt a world of a deference compared to SM58/57 and without a cloudlifter too quiet/noisy.
Not a big fan of dynamic mics in the studio.
Oh yah mine did start to crap out too. I think the rule is if it clicks it will wear out.
Arenāt those three mics exactly the same capsule?
