BOSS EBAND JS-8 RecoRding
BOSS eBand JS�8
BOSS eBand JS-8 BOSS makes it easy for you to jam along with your favourite tracks by Trevor Curwen
T
here are several elements that come together to make a practical practice tool/phrase trainer for guitar players. You need amplifier simulation, playback and looping of sound files with tempo control, together with some form of recording facility. All of these have been available in the BOSS BR range of multitrackers for some time, but the company has now taken that technology and put it all together in a dedicated unit complete with speakers, describing the resulting eBand JS-8 as, “the ultimate jam-along companion for guitarists.” Getting started with the eBand is pretty easy – just plug in, tune up using the onboard tuner, select a sound and start playing. If you want to play along with something simple, there’s the onboard metronome and the range of provided loops that are easily called up. These are either straight drum loops or nicely constructed band-
style backing tracks in a variety of musical styles and keys that actually do entice you into playing along, especially if a matching guitar tone has been loaded. If you want a different tone, it can be easily changed and the level quickly tweaked to sit in with the backing track. The COSM sounds (BOSS/ Roland’s Composite Object Sound Modelling technology) work great in any number of styles and playing feels really natural. The sound from the speakers is clear and urprisingly full at sensible volumes. On its own, without a computer, the eBand is a fine practice aid for playing along to pre-recorded tracks or recording your own chord sequence to solo over, but the USB connection greatly increases versatility. To import sounds from a computer or use the unit as an audio interface, you have to install the Song List Editor utility software and audio drivers, but these are
loaded onto the included SD card, are easily transferred to the computer via USB cable and install in seconds. With a large enough memory card, you can store thousands of your favourite songs, call them up and play along at will, making the eBand a fully loaded guitar karaoke jukebox. As an audio interface, the eBand offers several routing options, so you can record a guitar (or a microphone) either dry or with the full amp and effects sound, while choosing what you hear from the speakers. It also allows re-amping, so you can use the onboard sounds to treat any previously recorded signals. Verdict Knowing BOSS, it’s no surprise that this innovative company has delivered something that’s both an excellent practice aid and a fine recording tool, as well as being a whole lot of fun. Few guitarists would be unhappy with this.
