review boss eband js-8

Postby bluesbrother » 27 Jan 2010, 14:13

as promised!!

Just arrived and i played it fo 3 hours ( i could not stop).
It comes with a big bookwork but it is so simple that i did not
even needed it.
This thing does exactly what i wanted ( playing with backing track and
record it as simple as possible.The sound quality is topnotch and the
effects are very good. The delay is the best i ever heard .
The thing is federlight and can be hooked up to a powerfull stereo if
needed. It also can be used as a usb/audio interface when hooked up
to a computer. For home playing or recording or practising it is simply
perfect. Fender just came out with the new g-dec 30/III and has alot
of the same features: sd card/usb/ mp3 etc etc.
I am very pleased :dance
It has got a slow blues patch that sound 100% like a dumble ODS.
For a super light all in one solution this thing is insane and a bargain
if you ask me ......

Hooked it up with the red and white output jacks to my
stereo with two 580 watts RMS cabs.Holy shit ,you could easily
do a gig this way. Impressive.

Recording is deadly simple just press rec and that is it. I do not
hear a difference with the original sound so for me it is very good.
I have zero experience with recording so i do not have a reference to
compare it with . For my purpose it is perfect.

the js-8 comes with a songlist editor . With this you can import music
from your Pc. I did that and it is really easy to use. It is also possible
to import directly from a CD -player.

The JS-8 can also be used as a usb/audio interface to use guitar-
software. I used to work with modeling pedals and a mixer and a
CD -player to get the same result so for me this device is what i
always wanted for late night practising.I can truly recommend it.
The soundquality through headphones is the best i ever heard.
