"Best Bang for the Buck! Just take the time to read the manuals or watch the videos. It really works great as a one-man-band's mu"
I expect to be satisfied with it for a long time. If I was going to replace it, it would be with another Roland product such as the 2480HD
Sound
I've read some of the poor reviews on this page. Seems that there are a lot of unhappy folks out there that probably just don't know what they are doing. This is a great machine, you just need patience. I use Memorex High Speed CD-RW's and they work great. They are sold at Circuit City. It's possible that they are attempting to use normal CD-RW's. If you really get into the EQ's you can get some great sound. Be sure to EQ your effects in the "EDIT" section too!
Features
I love the on-board effects and find them to be quite simple to use. I do wish the unit had the option of recording to a hard drive. The machine is also a bit slow at locating on the CD-RW.
Quality
Great quality and durability. The stainless steel front plate tarnishes easily, but who cares?
Value
This product is the best value for the money I have ever seen.

The Wow Factor
I was intrigued by the magazine articles I had read about the product so I yearned for a year and then my wife surprised me with one! I talked my buddy into buying one too and he says it's the best investment he has ever made!
