Small enough to fit in your pocket, the Boss MICRO BR BR-80 is the ultimate new portable recording and jam-along tool for guitarists and other musicians.

You can record either dry or via Insert effects, and you get a choice appropriate to the source you've selected. To be honest, I did before, that’s why I binned my old BOSS Micro BR, but could now be the time to focus on music again instead of getting distracted by the unnecessary niceties?They always use the much simpler method of recording each channel to a separate track, so a stereo pair is always recorded to two tracks, regardless of how the pair is selected. It would have been nice to see a function that would allow you to export song projects as complete bunches of track-length MP3 files so you could drop them into your favourite sequencer, but I could find no direct way to do so. Over 40 types of COSM amp models give you instant access to a wide range of powerful guitar and bass sounds.

In addition, we have a library of Owner’s Manuals and Support Documents that you can download and reference. The mastered file may then be saved as an MP3, so it can be played on your computer once transferred. Small enough to fit in your pocket, the BOSS MICRO BR BR-80 is the ultimate new portable recording and jam-along tool for guitarists and other musicians.I've heard a few negative comments on the BR80 on various forums (particularly over quality of distortion and the bass effect), this worries me slightly on the BR800 if that is indeed not up to the same standard as the BR80. The vocal effect chain is a little simpler, with compression, enhancer, EQ, noise suppression and delay but, again, there's also the overall reverb that can be used to add individual amounts of Hall or Room reverb to the four audio tracks and to the rhythm track. This means that once the product is delivered, you'll have 180 days to decide that you definitely want to keep it. Variable speed playback, variable pitch, and A-B Repeat features enable players to learn riffs and practise songs in different keys and tempos. If the fault occurs within the first 180 days of your ownership, we'll collect the goods and deliver them back to you free of charge.

I looked at the 800, in fact I looked at it again last night, but, the 80 seems way more flexible for me. To aid song writing, the BR-80 has a full complement of backing rhythm tracks in a large variety of musical styles. In regard to what you may have read about the effects on other forums, keep in mind that when people say things like "the effects aren't as good on the BR-80", they're probably talking about the preset effects patches, not the underlying effects.Though it doesn't challenge the best drum boxes on sound or flexibility, it's pretty versatile and includes useful rhythms across a range of styles. But most people are always going to want to record at least a few things in stereo, so the stereo mixer channels are ideal for that. The MICRO BR BR-80 is packed with professional multi-effects powered by a newly developed custom DSP chip. The only BRs that have less are the original Micro BR and the BR-532 which both have only 4 mixer channels, so they can only play back (and bounce) 4 tracks at a time. But it’s true: This little box is packed with features that’ll quickly make it one of your most indispensable tools.
