Boss Micro BR Digital Recorder

The Boss Micro BR is the world's smallest pro studio!
Meet the ultimate palmtop guitar companion and recording studio. Only slightly larger than an iPod, the tiny-yet-powerful Micro BR is a dream for musicians on the go. The Micro BR offers four simultaneous playback tracks (plus 32 V-Tracks), MP3 compatibility, onboard multi-effects, built-in rhythm patterns, a tuner, USB, an SD Card slot, and more. No guitar case or gig bag should be without one!


The Boss Microp-BR Goes Stereo!
With the addition of the high fidelity BA-CS10 swiveling electret condenser mic, the Micro-BR becomes a 32 track studio, with top-notch Boss guitar effects, 300 rhythm patterns, tuner, MP-3/.WAV capability, time-stretching and now the ability to record stereo performances easily. You can still work on 32 tracks of music per song, plus drums, bouncing from 4 simultaneous playback tracks to stereo whenever you need more tracks. You get it all in a palm-sized, rugged, Roland quality portable studio that will capture your band’s rehearsal and keep you busy overdubbing and uploading MP-3s afterwards. Don’t compromise. Now Boss has put it all in one place.

BR in Your Pocket or Guitar Case
The Micro BR is so small you can put it in your pocket! It measures just 5-3/8 x 3-3/16 x 7/8 inches (136.0 x 81.0 x 21.4 mm). But even though it’s tiny, the Micro BR packs an entire studio’s worth of features into its tiny case. There are a dozen buttons on its front panel, nine knobs, and even a built-in microphone for quick capture.

Four Tracks & More
At its core, the Micro BR is a four-track studio with four simultaneous playback tracks and two simultaneous record / input tracks.However, there’s more to this recorder than meets the eye. Each of the four main playback tracks also has eight companion V-Tracks (for a total of 32), so you can record take after take after take, then pick your best material for final mixdown.

Drum Machine & Effects Onboard
Given the Micro BR’s small size and low price, you might be surprised to find the next two features onboard: (1) Almost 300 drum patterns are included. Use them for play-along inspiration or even as song foundations. The rhythms don’t consume any of the four playback tracks — they play back independently. (2) A quality multi-effects processor is onboard, including a time-stretch algorithm for changing the tempo of your audio tracks without changing pitch — a great tool for both audio editing and phrase training. The Time Stretch feature can also be used with MP3 data; the Micro BR's Center Cancel feature can be applied to MP3 data as well.

MP3 Compatibility
The Micro BR is capable of loading and playing MP3 files. Load up your favorite guitar hero song via USB, slow down the tempo with no pitch change, and learn all of your favorite licks. You can even use the Micro BR as a standard MP3 player. All of your data is stored on convenient SD (Secure Digital) media found in common electronics shops. The included 128MB card, for example, can record approximately 65 minutes of audio when one mono track is selected.

Subject:Great and not so Great.
Quality: Once you get a compatable SD card things should work o.k. .
Features: Lots of Great features to make a finish CD demo.
Ease of Use: If you could get by with the lame preset #3 Metalcore setting I guess one could go on and explore the unit entirely..
Sound: If your looking to record Clean Guitar sounds this unit has plenty presets for that, But if you wanna Record Extreme Hardcore Metal forget it, I tried for days and still cant get a decent Metal tones..Boss really drop the ball here..
Reliability: Going on 2-3 years on its o.k. IF you have a Compatable SD card.
Overall: IF BOSS would put more Metal settings like the METALZONE -MEGADISTORTION-types this unit would a dream.
Do you own this product?: Yes I own it With great frustration.

Subject:When little things do great things
Quality: This is a pretty solid little gizmo. The buttons are firm ( if that's important to you). The only thing that bothers me is that it eats batteries like nothing. I would recommend buying the adapter, which I will do shortly.
Features: For something this size, it has quite a bit of features. The drum machine is good sounding and has many different sounds and styles of beats.
Ease of Use: I would give this a 5* ease of use because I was able to understand it the first day I got it. The manual is necessary to understand some of the abbreviations but once you figure it out, it's simple. If someone like me can figure it out, anyone can.
Sound: The distorted guitar is not the quality you get from an amp but it is still pretty good. The clean tones sound smooth and awesome.
Reliability: I've had this for a few months now and it has held up fine.
Overall: For something this price, it is quite exceptional and easily worth it.
Do you own this product?: yes
