g1hsg Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Pandora PX4D, does a hell of a lot for £75, PX5D does even more (but at twice the price). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] AdrenaLinn III - IMO one of the best multi-fx + drum machine (with synchronized effects). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Look into the Zoom B2 / B2.1u - quite highly rated by many on here. The drum machine is pretty basic, but it's OK for jamming along to. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.funk Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I'm going to be selling a Digitech BP200 when I get round to listing it. £30 if you want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mottlefeeder Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 It may be a gap in my education, but I have never seen the point of noodling around to a drum machine, without having a defined chord structure to play around. Most of the suggestions so far only give you a drum machine. For the same kind of money as a multi-effects unit, you could get a copy of Band in a Box, and install it on your PC. It will enable you to put together a chord sequence, define the style of backing track, mute the bass part and then pick the speed at which you want to jam. Since it generates a bass part within the backing track, if you run dry, you can look at what 'they' did for that style of music. It will also unpack downloaded midi files, so you can select and mute the bass line. It can also take a MP3 or CD track, and work out the chord sequence for you - that's quite impressive. Food for thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I just jam along to my record collection, turn down the bass so I can't hear it and make up my own bass lines. Much more fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigwan Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 On the lookout for something similar myself, although I'm looking for the added functionality of mp3 playback. I've ended up narrowing the field down to the Boss Micro BR... A little pricey and isn't really useable as a 'live' effects unit, but you do get a 4 track digital recorder included.
