Boss Review: BR-532

History:

Purchase: Paid 250 on ebay. Got the unit for adding guitar recording to software synth songs.

What I Like About This Boss BR-532: The interface may be daunting at first, but it's actually quite good. You have direct access to all of the important functions on the face of the unit. There are dedicated dials and sliders for all the important input/outputs which is excellent, no switching between two different functions. Most importantly sound quality is really good. Hook up a guitar and mic, and you'll be surprised how good it is. The canned effects are alright, but you can save up to 30 user effects that are fully customizable!

What I Do NOT Like About The Boss BR-532: Don't like that the memory cards are smart media. They're fine, but you're limited to 128Mb. I guess that's okay, since this is more of a 4 track song writing/developing type of unit, not just a straight digital recorder. oh yeah, and there's no midi in.

Boss BR-532 Quality Rating: Construction is plastic, but it's still top notch. Very good overall. Plus, it's the function that counts eh?

Review Summary: All in all, it's a good deal, considering you can get them now at bargain prices.

Rating of this Boss product: 4
