If I wasn’t sitting on the couch with one already that would actually make me want one :smile:

Yeah, it wasn’t like he gave it a bad review at all; and edged me closer to getting one too, as it happens.

That may be the most “not bad” showing in Bad Gear history.

Does he actually ever give bad reviews? I’ve only seen a handful, but they’ve all been like this.

It always seems to turn out that he discovers the best in whatever “the most hated gear in the world” he can find; which is of course a good thing.

I ve seen more critical ones from him.

Lol. I was thinking the exact same thing. That made me wonder about the concept. Isn’t it so that he reviews gear that a lot of other people are critical about?

Pretty much seems to be his thing, yeah.

Maybe there’s not that much bad gear and now he’s stock with his title?

He only has to add a question mark and everything will be fine : Bad Gear?

the premise is to review gear that ppl complain about enough that he can cover the screen with complaints.

5 Likes

Haha, yeah. On the other hand: there are always busloads of complaints to be found on webfora, even about gear that 95 percent of the users are raving about

I think the idea is not to make bad reviews about bad gear, but to show that the internet is not always right with negative comments.

I really like his approach, as he shows exactly those parts of gear, that might be the reason for some to buy it.

I’ve been watching his channel for a while and I get the impression that he particularly likes the Cycles. He seemed pleasantly surprised by it. I could be biased though, I love the thing.

Most underrated instrument in the Elektron catalogue if you ask me. 6 channels of that FM goodness for the price is just ridiculous.

Volca FM 2.0 can give you 6 channels.

But you are getting so much more with Cycles.

It only lacks polyphony support. An unfortunate limitation but typical Elektron

StrangeStrains for my music!
