"Nice Box"

Feature:
It has a foot pedal, but I haven't needed it yet. I think the foot pedal is for volume control. If it can be used to control the Wah-wah effect (I'm not sure if it can be), then it's more useful and will get my use when I need wah. The most useful features are the guitar effects and bounce. The memory card is way too small and requires dumping tracks to your PC (takes a few minutes to do one track)

Quality:
Quality is good. The thing is the size of an ultraportable laptop PC and weighs about a half a pound. I've accidentally dropped it a few times on a carpted floor from about 4 feet and it didn't affect it. The jacks are all good - no loosey-goosey jacks.

Value:
Yes, I bought one for $299 with free shipping.

Desirability:
I don't want to bone it, lick it, or anything else.

Sound:
The sound quality is great for a $300 recorder. My only complaint on the sound is when I try to double an existing track and it gets too distorted or overdriven

Ease of Use:
I love the guitar effects. The preset mix downs have to be tweaked/edited for my tastes. The drum machine is the most difficult thing for me to use. I find it extremely difficult to cut to another beat or time signature. I haven't figured out how to effectively customize drum patterns or use the drum pads. It takes some reading of the User's Guide to use this. I referred to it profusely the first few months of ownership.

Support:
Haven't had to use it

Overall:
For what I do, I suspect I will get 4-5 years use before moving to something better and less expensive.

"Great recorder for small bucks!"

Feature:
Boss should package this with a power adapter and a larger memory card, but I'm sure overall price was the contributing factor - each of these owuld have added $20 to the selling price. The effects, built-in microphones and rhythm machine all are great features.

Quality:
I bought mine used, but everything seems high quality. I wouldn't want to "road" this without a better case -the included padded carrycase does not offer much protection.

Value:
For this price,there's no other choices on the market.

Desirability:
Once I saw the pictures and read about it, I had to have it!

Sound:
The sound is excellent. Through headphones or monitor speakers, it is overall very well balanced.

Ease of Use:
You need to read the manual first, then refer to it often until you are familiar wiht the controls and what can be read in the small display screen, but after that it is very easy!

Support:
Have not used

Overall:
I hope to get many years of use out of this. Future upgrade would be to a model with built-in CD burner, or model that allows more tracks to be mixed down at one time without bouncing.

Wherever you go, the ultra-portable BR-600 is ready to record. It can operate on six AA batteries, for starters, so you don't have to sweat the AC connection. Best of all, a quality stereo microphone is built in, so you can point and capture audio on the spot, quickly and easily. Whether you're recording band rehearsals, capturing ambient sounds, or you name it, the BR-600 is all you need to get the job done with zero hassle.
