would love to hear feed back on these 2 units pro's and con's,

i'm in the market for such a device but dont know which one,

i can tell you what's important to me, ease of use i want simple, i'm too old to learn all the bells and whistles can barely text with my phone never mind take a picture with it , size i want small for travel, and power requirements if i'm not near a plug.....

look foward to everyone's comments

cheers[/code]

hi standish,

i use the Boss micro br for traveling and exercising. the guitar and drum sounds are a lot and ok and you can do some changes in the parameters. if you want you can record your ideas to different drum stiles (rock, pop, metal etc). important for me at the moment is the mp3 function. i have put my fave songs on it and train my ears to hear out the notes. therefore you can use the A-B function to select a piece of a solo for excample and i use the tempo function to reduce the tempo (don't go under 80%, the sound is not more so good then). also a good giutar tuner is aboard.
i have no comparison to the tascam mp-gtr1. the main different will be the recording function at the boss micro br. check out the specs of both.

for traveling a really nice tool and small, you will get it in every bag together with the boss ac adapter. a head phone and all is perfect.

for me a good investigation, i use it every day for exercising at the moment.

good luck and cheers
