MICRO BR
The world's smallest guitar recording studio.
The Boss MICRO BR is the ultimate palmtop guitar companion and recording studio. Only slightly larger than an iPod, it offers four simultaneous playback tracks plus 32 virtual tracks, as well as MP3 compatibility, effects, rhythm patterns, a tuner, USB port, microphone, an SD card slot, and more. Only 5-3/8"W x 3-3/16"H x 7/8"D, it gives you over a dozen front panel controls. The included 128MB SD card allows over an hour of mono recording.
Four tracks and more
At its core, the MICRO BR is a four-track studio with four simultaneous playback tracks and two simultaneous record/input tracks. 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 and effects onboard
Given the MICRO BR s small size and low price, you might be surprised to find two big features onboard. First it has almost 300 drum patterns. 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. The second is a quality multi-effects processor 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.

Affordable and Portable
The BR-864 is not only BOSS’ smallest 8-track recorder, but it’s also their most affordable. With 64 Virtual Tracks, there’s plenty of room to track multiple overdubs, vocals and instruments. A 128MB CompactFlash card comes standard, giving you over an hour’s worth of high-quality recording time.
Easy USB File Exchange and Data Backup
A built-in USB port makes it easy to import and export audio with USB-equipped computers. Now you can load and convert .WAV/AIFF files from your Mac or PC directly into a track, or export your song for CD-burning and MP3 creation. The USB port also makes for a great way to archive and backup recordings to your computer’s hard drive.
A World of High-Quality Effects
Thanks to COSM modeling, guitarists can plug right into the BR-864 and get killer tone every time. Simply choose from several COSM Amp Models and you’ll sound huge. There’s even a Bass Simulator that lets you lay down bass from a guitar—plus several new effects like wah, guitar synth and a Harmonist for scale—intelligent pitch shifting.
Rhythm Guide Redux
The Rhythm Guide function has been beefed up considerably for the BR-864. First, BOSS added full programmability, meaning you can tap in your own drum patterns in addition to the dozens of great-sounding presets. A new Tone Load function lets you add custom drum sounds by importing .WAV/AIFF files. Best of all, the Rhythm Guide doesn’t use any of the 64 recording tracks, so you still get eight playback tracks and drums.
Guitar-Friendly Features
While anyone can benefit from the BR-864’s portability and power, guitarists in particular will appreciate having a dedicated Hi-Z input and onboard tuner. There’s also a Phrase Trainer function that lets you slow down riffs, making them easier to learn. And since the BR-864 runs on batteries, you can take this little 8-track studio anywhere.
