gear snob 

1. A person who looks down on music because it was not recorded with top of the line music gear or a certain type of music gear (ex. more expensive music gear, or analog music gear).

2. A person who is in a band or makes music and thinks their music is better than others' due to the fact that they have better/ more expensive music gear.

A gear snob is most likely to be a critic of electronic music and electronic music bands because of the gear they use.
