A great DAW controller, this example is in superb condition, everything works and it comes with the original Mackie power supply. Makes controlling Logic, Cubase, etc a breeze. Regrettably, I don’t have the overlays anymore.
PRICE: £140.00 plus £20.00 p&p to UK mainland. Cost of shipping includes insurance.
Take a step back to the nineties. The Roland RSP-550 quickly became a classic effects unit able to deliver all of those time-delay based effects and reverbs which the company had perfected over the decades and became famous for.
The RSP-550 is just awesome, easy to program, easy to back-up, easy to control and sounds brilliant. The inputs and outputs can be switched from -20dBm to +4dBm and with a couple of isolators, can be converted from unbalanced to balanced. I just love these units and quite honestly, they piss all over many plug-ins. Equally suited as part of a guitar or bass rig where they simply excel or in an effects loop either live or in the studio, these machines are gorgeous. On top of that, it’s getting harder to find stuff like this now-a-days. In fact I've just had a quick look on eBay again and no Roland RSP-550s. 🙁 Good thing I'm keeping one for myself!

In my opinion, the JCM900 4000 series of amps were the last real Marshalls. This combo is NOT a reissue but an original nineties amp. It has the sweeter sounding 50-Watt power section and of course the open-back cab makes for a ‘lighter’ sound. If I wanted something a little heavier, I fed this into a THD 4 x 12 cab which is also for sale at the moment.
Accompanying the amp will be the original foot-switch and plastic Marshall cover.
Unfortunately for me but potentially fortunate for you, I also have my beloved 1971 JMP 1959 Super Lead for sale at the moment as well as my 1959 Randy Rhodes Signature Series and a 1980 JMP 2203 Master Volume. I also have a single 1960A 4 x 12 (slanted) cab and a classic stack comprising a 1960A and 1960B cabs for sale. The cabs are loaded with stock Celestion G12-T75 speakers which are the more contemporary type and don’t sound like the Vintage speakers.
During the time that I’ve had the amps, they’ve never been gigged.

This rig comprises the following items:
1 x Mackie 24:8:2 mixing desk with power supply and power supply extension cable
2 x Zeck LF118 600W bass bins (on castors)
2 x Proel TPRK12P8 250W full-range speakers
2 x speaker poles
3 x NJD NJ584 300W 15” wedge monitors (some pictures show 5 wedges)
1 x Phonic XP2000 1.9kW 2-channel power amp
1 x Phonic XP3100 2.8kW 2-channel power amp
1 x QSC RMX 1450 900W 2-channel power amp
2 x Behringer DEQ2496 digital graphic equalisers
1 x Behringer FBQ1000 feedback destroyer (oops! Not shown)
1 x Alesis HD24 24-track digital hard disk recorder
High-quality multi-core cables (with Neutrik connectors) to connect desk to HD24 and HD24 back to desk.
High-quality 24:8 stage box and multi-core (approximately 20m long) with Neutrik connectors on tail end.
This rig (less the dinner trolley) was used as one of my in-house systems. Since I’ve had it, it’s never gone outside of the building. It’s super powerful and sounds brilliant. The reason I’ve stuck ‘Old School’ in the item description is to hint at the point that the individual components were properly selected to deliver the specific job in hand. Sonically, it’s hugely versatile. The big desk is so much more ergonomic than many digital desks and the HD24 has got big buttons which means no fuffing around in a busy production environment; something that gear manufacturers seem to overlook now-a-days.
Condition-wise, for a start, everything works. No blown speakers, burnt out amps, etc. The amps are in excellent condition. The speakers are in good condition. The desk has had a couple of annoying scrapes along the area where you stick your channel IDs. This was done before I had it. I take the time to print out channel IDs on special self-adhesive plastic. The HD24 is lovely and the multi-cores have been in a static installation and have not been moved during the time I've had this kit, so they're immaculate.
I have a lot of speaker cable and other bits if you need, I’d be happy to negotiate when you come to collect this. When you do, make sure you’ve got a big van! This is a monster rig.
You may also be interested in a Behringer ECM8000 reference microphone which I have for sale here. It connects to the DEQ2496 UltraCurve equalisers and makes acoustic line-up easy.

Wow, this package of a single handheld transmitter and four receivers made putting my four big video cameras into record, a breeze. Press one button and all four cameras start recording. Press one button again and all cameras stop recording.
In pristine condition, this package also includes LANC cables.
PRICE: £90.00 plus £10.00 p&p to UK mainland. Cost of shipping includes insurance.
You’re here ‘cos you know what this is, right? This once industry standard synchroniser is in perfect condition. I bought it years ago from some guy in Australia and it’s been a real workhorse over the years. Reliable and solid. Power supply and cable will accompany this sale.

A great little combo specifically designed for amplifying acoustic guitar, the AS-50D is light and has a beautiful sound. With built-in effects, all you need to do is plug in your guitar.
This one’s in really nice condition, just a bit dusty.
PRICE: £150.00. COLLECTION FROM HEMEL HEMPSTEAD, HERTFORDSHIRE ONLY.
I bought this from Aldi a few years ago. The Maginon SportsCam is a lot of camera for the price. I used this to record deliveries to my warehouse at the time and it was great. It just did what I wanted it to do.
As the pictures show, this comes in a cool little case with lots of accessories, none of which I used as they just weren’t applicable to my application.
PRICE: £30.00 plus £6.50 p&p to UK mainland. Cost of shipping includes insurance.
This rig comprises the following items:
1 x Yamaha 01V96 32-channel mixing desk with MY-AT16 dual ADAT card
2 x Electro-Voice ELX118P powered 18” 700W sub bass speakers with covers
2 x Electro-Voice ELX115P powered 15” 1kW full-range speakers with covers
2 x fully adjustable speaker poles
2 x NJD NJ584 300W 15” wedge monitors
1 x QSC RMX 1450 900W 2-channel power amp
1 x Alesis HD24 24-track digital hard disk recorder
This rig was used as one of my in-house systems. Since I’ve had it, it’s never gone outside of the building. It’s super powerful and sounds brilliant.
The 01V96 has a MY8-AT16 dual ADAT port card installed which means that in conjunction with the on-board ADAT port, this desk can receive and send twenty-four digital channels. Hooking upthe desk to the Alesis HD24 is a breeze. All you need are six TOSLINK cables. Configuring the desk via the Yamaha editor software makes set-up quick an’ easy.
The desk is digital which means that there’s no need for outboard equalisers and effects, for example. For drums, you can just dial up compressors on the drum channels. Easy!
The Electro-Voice rig is big, quiet and seriously powerful. The ELX118P subs have built-in cross-overs so you only need one signal feed to each stack.
There’s a pristine QCS RMX 1450 power amp which is ample to drive the two NJD 15” wedge monitors. I specifically chose these monitors because I wanted the foldback to sound good, for a change.
The Behringer FBQ1000 dual-channel feedback destroyer was a backup. I used to have it plugged into the inserts of the main vocal channels but I can’t remember actually using it.
This is a lovely system which has so much potential for static or mobile applications. I also have an AppSys ADX-32B ADAT-over-Ethernet system for sale at the moment. Like me, you could have a rack of 8-channel pre-amp A/D converters on stage and send / receive 24 / 8 channels to / from the 01V96 via CAT5e! I used four Focusright Octopres for that; three sending twenty-four channels in one direction to the desk and one receiving eight channels from the desk for monitoring. The AppSys ADX32B has built-in ADAT splitters so you can still route to the HD24 and record. It worked flawlessly.
Condition-wise, for a start, everything works. No blown speakers, burnt out amps, etc. The QSC are in excellent condition. The speakers are like new. The desk is perfect. The HD24 is lovely.
I have a lot of speaker cable and other bits if you need 'rm, I’d be happy to negotiate when you come to collect this. When you do, make sure you’ve got a big van! This is a monster rig.
