Boss of Bosses

What a great gadget....I was looking for something to get song ideas down and had tried other recorders but they didn't allow for multiple layering....this baby lets you stick down drum beats, bass parts, rhythm guitars and lead work and vocals and lets you master your work so it can be downloaded and burnt to Cd. Everybody knows what it's like trying to get new songs done via practices...well this lets you get a proper working demo which is absolutely brilliant.
You can do live recording of work also with decent sound quality letting you hear how your band or yourself are playing. It's easy to use, with well laid out menus with enter and exit prompts so you don't inadvertently dump anything you wanted to keep, a multitude of boss effects and if you use a large memory card you can put whole catalogues of work through it.
It also has a great training / play along facility where you can edit out the parts you want to learn / practice and it includes software to allow detailed mastering of your work.
I would easily recommend this to any level of musician it's small, compact so easy to use and very, very impressive. Get one and enjoy making your music it's that easy.

Great device for capturing ideas
Andrex 07.03.2017
This is a great device for capturing ideas and practising parts before recording. I use this mainly as a tool for capturing ideas when I'm noodling on the guitar, it takes less than a minute to get up and running so the creative flow does not get interrupted. If you spend the time to create custom drum patterns it is helpful, as some of the default patterns can be a bit annoying.
I also use it for practising guitar parts before I record them, being able to reduce the speed while keeping the pitch unchanged is a great feature and allows me to build up my speed on complicated parts before I record them.
The thumb wheel that you use to select many of you options can get a bit mental and not respond as it should. I resolved this by spraying electrical contact cleaner into the thumb wheel, while it was turned off of course and left if to dry over night, the wheel is performing as it should.

I wanted to have one device for everything as Guitar Trainer and recording studio that is not too big and it has a good sound, and it is easy to handle and has connections to the instrument, and output to a computer or USB. memory card.
BOSS is a device BR-80 acceded to my wishes. Everything I counted contains, in that it also has a high-speed recorder for recording live. I first worked with the BOSS BR 600, s is a very good device, but only for recording, then by APLE iPad2, which has a great sound, but does not have a connection to the instrument, so you need extra connectors and cables. BOSS BR-80 is the perfect solution all in one stock exchanges additional connections. Sound I am pleased with izmenjlivo memorijsko card is especially powerful. The size is suitable for the pocket, so that it can be got at all times.
Herb useful concern for every creative musician.

Fiddly but fun
Michael9506 24.05.2015
Very useful indeed for banging out quick overdubs on compositional ideas, or recording on the fly. Nice build, good simple layout. Lots of features you will probably never use, presets etc.(Not sure who it's aimed at) Decent quality, if leaning towards the bright, recording with internal mics. Better of course with external mics. Generous battery usage.

A very neat guitar trainer machine
Anonymous 06.03.2015
I used previous Micro-BR device 5 or 6 years ago, and bought this one for our group's new guitarist. The new BR-80 is a definite upgrade - easier to use controls, more tracks for recording, external slot for SD card, audio interface built-in - basically, nothing else is needed for home recording, apart from a laptop computer and USB cable.
It cannot play some MP3 files imported to the device for some reason (produced by MAGIX Samplitude, for example) and sometimes WAV files cannot be imported correctly, but these can be easily converted to Apple .AIFF format and then copied to the device.
Overall - fantastic tool for guitar training or quick recording. Also, there are very few, if any, similar compact devices from other brands nowadays. So, it may be the only choice!

The best money I have spent in the last few years, the ability to slow any song down and be able to play over the top, takes you into another league.
However you do need the mains connection, it is very thirsty regarding the battery.

Great bit of kit
Giles Wiggo 04.08.2022
Its Boss so it works and its reliable.
I only use it for practice and as an live audio recorder for ideas.
It's small and usable.
I can't comment on its full capabilities as I am just a basic user.
