Want to buy myself an effects unit, but can't decide which one to go for. Don't want to spend to much, so that rules out the Kaoss Pad. Can anyone recommend one?

I use a Boss SP-303 as a sampler/effects unit.

Hey Anton do you recommend that one, was it expensive i'm on a tight budget at the mo.

So does no one else use an effect unit???

Roland EF-303 maybe?

You should be getting these real cheap, seen 'em in local store with €150 price tag. Hadn't used one, though I considered buying such, seems like a real nifty device to have around.

Check this one to get the idea -- http://remixmag.com/mag/remix_roland_ef ... index.html

It shouldnt be to expensive, since its been replaced by the SP-404. And it has some nice effects, like reverb, tape delay, low-pass, lo-fi, plus 21 more..

but its still mainly a sampler, so thats mostly what you pay for, you should be able to find some other effects-unit cheaper I guess..

never used one personally, but the ones i've seen in use include
boss sp303 & 404
kaoss pad 1 & 2
pioneer efx 500 & 1000
line 6 DL-4

your best bet, imo, is to check em out at your local store to see which one best suits you and then find one used.

Korg are ready to release a KP3 version that looks very promising.. pricey though.. I have a KP1 and have used mates KP2 ... great little boxes...

KAOSSPAD II or STFU !!

Only use delay n echo useing my djm600

Biggles

Traktor 3 has it all built in, seen? lovin it.

Cheers for the advice everyone, think i'm gonna go for the new Kaosspad II once i have saved up or robbed enough Grannies/small children

bringing this back up because i just got my brand new RANE EMPATH!!!
now i need a good effect unit . . .

did the KAOSSPAD II turn out to be a good tool ?
I´m mainly looking for a effect unit that have the possibility to get unexpected results in the distorted area . . . and ease of use in terms of timing . . .

Looking at the mini - KAOSSPAD now . . . cheap but will it last and how does it sound ?

electrix

i have kp3 and its sik as fuk but the mini looks dope 2

looks like their out of business ?
You got any info on finding a electrix unit ?
out of stock everywhere . . .
and http://www.electrixpro.com/ is out of business . . .

yeah there gear was only made from 99-01.. if you check out www.vintagesynth.com they have reviews of all their gear

they make a bunch of different filters, an effects unit, a vocoder, and a looper that reads compact flash cards.. all rackmountable gear

i own the filter factory and love it.. it even has LFO to make your wobbles

i got it off ebay.. there are usually a few of their units up there at any given time.. youve got to buy them used since they were only produced for 2 years

all the filters and i think the MOFX were deisigned specifically for use with turntables.. the manuals even say they are designed for DJs

looks wicked! specially the LFOs made me try to find one of these . . .
but most ebay sellers won't ship to norway . . .
might end up with the mini-Kaoss Pad anyway . . .

but these whole series of effects looks perfect . . .

electrix made some bad ass gear. i love my FF and i work in live sound and i've seen the repeater, MOFX, FF, and vocoder used on stage..

if you have trouble finding someone to ship to norway just get the kaos pad, but keep searching on ebay because eventually youll find someone who will send it your way im sure.

I use a KP3 but wasn't allowed to mention KaossPads. Honestly though, after trying a few things out I just decided that saving up for the KP3 was the sensible move. It's fucking brilliant.
