UTILIZATION

Well, using the BR864 is not as simple as saying let BOSS!
The recording of the guitar is pretty simple, there is not much to say, if anything.
The effects are resolved quickly, and that's good!
But the drum machine is pretty hard to use ...
The mixing is carried out without worry. The quantities of menus and submenus are a little confusing, but it is fast!
When programming a complete understanding, we can not listen to the same patterns tps!
It's annoying because you have to memory, or out of paper and a pencil!
For programming patterns, it is not wrong.
The manual is well designed, for my taste, and explains the possibilities of the device number.

SOUNDS

To the sound effects are cool and sound good. They can be sufficient parameters (The guitar synth is fun, although it must play a certain way for this to work well).
For modeling ... the distos are nice, but the acoustic simulators are especially low to forget ... better go to his friend to borrow a bass player!

OVERALL OPINION

It's been one month that I have, and I quickly took over.
This is a purchase that I do not regret, and that meets my expectations, that is to say, a mobile studio, but with minimal features. In particular, good effects, a suitable programmable BAR, short enough to make a model or much jam on 12 measures which have been recorded.
Yes, we can really make a complete song with the BOSS, guitar, headphones and ... a lot of batteries!
For it is the last small problem! BOSS could have included the AC adapter with the studio! Because the device sucks batteries included six in less than five hours!
