10 out of 10
Feature:
many interesting Samples, effects processor, battery operation, stereo input, groove play, very programmable.
Quality:
Made in China and very well designed.
Value:
It's cheap and you can do very interesting things with it.
Desirability:
I got it and I like it a lot.
Sound:
Most samples sound good, the effects don't - not a big deal though. The output comes pretty clear with good dynamics.
Ease of Use:
Scrolling through the samples in kit edit mode is slow. Besides that it's a pleasure to use.
Overall:
Very useful little thing. Once you have sorted out the crappy samples and arranged the good ones in user drum kits have a decent drum machine. For me this is a keeper.

8 out of 10
Feature:
I give a 5 because this drum machine is definately not feature rich. I never use the effects because they are very cheap sounding, but i record everything dry anyways. The sequencer is great very tight sounding until you record it, the BPM is always off a little. In my DAW its 75.0 and when i record the BPM of what comes from the Streetboxx is like 75.3256984, and i still cant figure out how to sync it, or if you can. (I lost my manual)
Quality:
i gave it a 9 because of the effects, but its durability really suprised me. I have had mine for almost 5 years now, by this time i expected it to barely turn on. but the only thing wrong is the pad where i usually assign a hihat, is worn out. It doesnt catch sometimes, not a big deal though as i mainly just sample the drums to my MPC 1000.
Value:
for 180 dollars its worth just the drum samples.
Desirability:
Who cares about looks though?
Sound:
A lot of the drum sounds are usable, exspecially the 808/909 recreations. There are ways in which you can "layer" some of the drums to get a very good kick. I gave the sounds a 9 because they could have been better.
Ease of Use:
It is by far one of the easiest pieces of equipment i have ever had. When i first bought it, i made a beat within 5 minutes. Its definately perfect for someone who is not sure that production is for them. If you cant make a decent groove on this, than just stop before you invest a bunch of money in a waste of time.
Support:
Never had to use them.
Overall:
Overall, I think this is definately a great first buy for the aspiring hip hop/rap producer. This will tell you wether you should invest some more money or just stop. If you have already had a "begginer" piece then save you money and buy an MPC.
