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.

Thanks for the review blues brother! The demo units at NAMM were swamped.

Did you try to record with it or uploading tracks to the unit?

Edit: found this:

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.
