Boss Micro BR BR-80 Digital Recorder

The pocket-sized Boss BR-80 eight-track recorder has everything you need: a 1/4" guitar input, built-in effects, eBand backing tracks, USB output, and more.

Small enough to fit in your pocket, the Boss Micro BR BR-80 is the ultimate portable recording and jam-along tool for guitarists and other musicians. It's equipped with three modes to create, record, and perform your music: an eight-track MTR (Multi-Track Recorder) mode; an eBand mode for onstage backing tracks and phrase training; and a Live Rec mode for instantly capturing high-quality stereo recordings. You can even combine the three modes seamlessly. Record your phrase ideas using Live Rec mode, for example, and then import the recordings into MTR mode to use as foundations for song production. Once you've added tracks, import your finished songs into eBand mode for backing-track accompaniment at the gig. The Boss Micro BR BR-80 is truly a must-have for all musicians!

Virtual Jam Band

The Boss MICRO BR BR-80's eBand mode offers musicians a fun way to play along with their favorite songs. With the bundled eBand Song List Editor software, you can import CD, MP3, and WAV audio files from a computer via USB. The Center Cancel function can be used to minimize the volume of pre-recorded vocals and solos for play- and sing-along enjoyment. eBand mode is also an excellent partner for musical training, as it lets you record your performance adjust playback speed and/or pitch as desired.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I like it gives you lots of recording options and features. very solidly built too if you.are a guitarist like me you will love it it has a lot of guitar friendly features. Very portable unit can go anywhere I say it's a good buy and boss equipment is quality so if you want a "guitarist" friendly device this is the one. Has a lot of features so there is a learning curve but with how to video instruction and detailed instruction book it's not to bad to figure out. Well worth the price and well you know zZounds is best I order music equipment from no one else.....unit came well packed and few days. Go ahead get one if you want as close to a real studio quality as possible recorder.
