Boss MICRO BR BR-80 8-channel Digital Recorder

It's basicslly almost every boss guitar effects pedal along with amp modeling, a digital multitrack recorder, a drum machine, and two of the best condenser microphones you'll ever use all in a box that will fit in your gig bag. Sure, you can do most of this with apps on your smartphone for cheaper, but the instrument input jack and built-in microphones make this the perfect all-on-one tool for any musician. It's cheap, powerful, and easy to use. I love this.

GREAT SO FAR.

You want to know what you can't do with this device. You won't be able to record your electric guitar by plugin in, you can't record vocals using a microphone either. The only way to record is to use the two average built in mics. You won't be able to record any type of audio coming in via the guitar/mic in input. And that's a bummer! I thought I could use it to record my electric guitar for future reference, that I could record a show connecting a cable from my aviom mixer to the boss. But you can't. If I knew this before I wouldn't have bought it in the first place. It comes with FX distortion, delay, flanger but oddly enough and reverb... And you can't record with the effects on, again, you can't plug your guitar. What you can do and what it is for, is just to plug and play. It comes with a metronome, a tuner, you can add your backing tracks and practice a whole show. You can slow the tempo of the songs. It also comes with a series of play along tracks in various music styles that I don't think I will ever use, but some kid might have fun with it. The battery consumes fast, I've used it for 8 hours and the batteries are already dead. It is well built, seems good quality, easy to use, very intuitive and I like it, I'm gonna keep it, but I wouldn't recommend buying it for a musician who wants to record their performance. It is more a device to plug and play than to actually record.It comes with a SD card inside, which was a pleasant surprise. I didn't try it as an interface yet, the manual comes in Japanese, so I use the Google translate camera to read it. It says a driver you have to install first comes in the SD card. I'll try it as interface when I get a card reader. Even though I am disappointed that it doesn't record as I expected, I like this little machine very much.

The Boss Micro BR80 is just simply a great great device for any guitarist to have in their practice set up, Multi Track recording, wide array of Boss effects, decent mics for acoustic recording, MP3 playback with the ability to slow recordings down while keeping the key the same. Fits into a cargo pants pocket and is pretty much every thing you need to record basic tracks or practice with any of the included generic songs or MP3s that you port in to it.

A very affordable multitrack recorder with several abilities like when you play electric guitar to record it can sound like a bass and it has vocal effects too for recording and a drum machine built in the size of a pack of cigarettes and can run on as batteries too!!!

The media could not be loaded. This is an excellent multitrack recorder! Don't be fooled by the size, it's packed with everything you need. Drum sequencing is limited, but there's enough stuff that you can get a good sketch of what you want in the end. It connects effortlessly to your DAW so anything that is missing can easily fall into place. On board microphones are way better than expected. It has so many features, everything you expect from a Roland Product!

Every time I use this I am amazed how much is built into this device. It quickly becomes second nature to record and edit songs. I highly recommend for the price

I received the product and it is what I expected. It is the value of price and product that I expected. It is a very good digital recorder; simple, easy to use home studio recorder. Good all around features of inputs and outputs. The built in microphones need to be managed a little bit, placed properly not to distort the recording. For a more professional true studio model you should step up in price but for a basic digital recorder this is a great product. I bought it used and the re-seller wnypost125 was excellent.
