out of my own gear I guess my favorite looking one is the Summit 2BA221. Its only a half rack jobby, but the knobs and switches are cool.
My Yamaha PM180 and Korg Poly 800 are ugly ugly ugly pieces of gear.
Heck most of my stuff is hard on the eyes. If it didnt come that way it has a habit of getting holes drilled in it so I can stick another knob or switch on it.
And I dont know why but I can never get them to line up very aesthetically?

I think it has to be the recorders:
(I have two - the other one doesn't look quite so pretty as the rack is bronze-coloured)
This might not count since it's a bit ratty cosmetically speaking, but hey, I'm pretty sure it's older than I am:

The one thing I loathe is equipment with blue LEDs in it. One of these days I'm going to open them up and swap them out for green or red ones...

really? What is this aversion people have to LEDs. I even see customer revies of computer and audio gear in which people complain that the led is too bright?
THEY CAN NEVER BE TOO BRIGHT!
I love the glow of all the LEDS on my gear. It looks like space 1999 or star trek with the lights off.

I don't know... it's just the sudden overuse of the blue ones which bugs me somehow. Perhaps it's because I've been trying to recreate a studio based on 1970s-1980s technology and this little blue things come along and try to spoil it :Pcalaverasgrandes wrote:really?

Thinking about it, one of the items which I have really kept entirely for its aesthetics is the Lynx MK1 synchronizer. I use a TASCAM ATS500 for sync, but keep the Lynx as an SMPTE reader since it has a nice, clear timecode display made of 7-segment LEDs - the ATS has a tiny green LCD panel which you have to get right up to the machine to read.

Fact. I almost forgot how ugly those focusrite green's are. They always looked a little too Jurassic Park for me. That MoPhatt is pretty wicked though. I might buy into that just to spice my rack up a little.weatherbox wrote:I'd probably stack these in a sexy sandwich and spraypaint them gold. maybe the ugliest things i've ever seen.
