What is the best value for money or "bang for buck" product you can think of?

What are the products that provide best value for money? Defined as thus:

"the biggest difference to recordings for the smallest prices"

My nominations would be the Ibanez TS7 or Shure SM57. A bunch of guitar pickups I can think of too... Whats your opinions?

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

One that comes to mind is the HB212 Vintage cab. You can barely get two V30's for it's price over here.

 

[MarcusGHedwig]

A used 5150 + Mesa Standard cab can be regularly had for $1k-$1200 in these parts

Here you can't even get a used 5150 for that price

I bagged my own JCM 1960B for £70

[Trevoire520]

Behringer ADA8000. 8 extra inputs for your DAW for less than £150 if you shop around.

TS7 is definitely up there.

Squier Vintage Modified Jazz is an awesome bass for not alot of money. I prefer it to my ex bassists mexican Fender!

 

[demirichris]

I think for how versatile they are and how often they are used, I would have to go with a good ol sm57 or sm7.

Reaper

 

[Trevoire520]

Any of the Massey plugins. Sound as good as anything out there and are very reasonably priced.

 

[Yhanthlei]

Reaper

Although I did pick up my set of Bose for not much at all
Some dick ordered them into one of my old mates shop and didnt pick them up... he let me have them cheap.

+1 on Reaper.

Also, SM7, Peavey Windsor.

 

[narcossintese]

Reaper, EMG 85, SM58, POD Studio (Toneport).

 

[Wolfeman]

Used 5150. Lot's of amp at that price.

Good monitors and interface. Which ever you prefer, there are plenty.

 

[thedonutman]

I had the chance to have a listen to a pair of those at the weekend - amazing monitors.

I bet they make you mixes sound at least £2500 better

 

[Trevoire520]

Peavey Windsor.

Yes!

Shit Ermz. The Australia summer has aged you.
