Well, maybe not exactly...

The old-school effects pedals usually have guitar-level output (meant to plug into a guitar amplifier input) - these would have a very low level in the Line Input (if you hear them at all) - unless you boost them to line level before input. If you've got an effects box that will output a line level signal, you should be fine though.

When you use the Line Input with the built-in mics, you can adjust the balance between inputs using the level wheel on the recorder.

Just wondering if i can use a DI box to do this?

Yeah, with acoustic guitar it would probably work out alright, guitar and vocals through the mics and then a second bit of acoustic through the line-in blended in to crisp up the acoustic. 

Exactly what i want to do. Just wanted to experiment with a fuller acoustic sound maybe.
Thanks for your input. I appreciate! 

As long as you can get your guitar output to line level, you should be good to go.

[Bluesberry]

If your DI box has a line out its good, or headphones out, anything boosted up to line level.  Does your DI box have a pre-amp in it?

I don`t have one as of yet but gonna get one for interface as well. I`m a newbie at this stuff.

Here is one i`m looking at! http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FastTrackPro.html

I solved my problem and bought one of these  mini pre-amps today for 50 bones!

I can use it for  usb interface too.



Acoustic sounds great now!

[Bluesberry]

Yes, I have one of those.  I run my acoustics through it, and my mandolin, and my vocals, its a very good unit.

[Gnasty]

Go drink your dark ale! I`m gonna get me a cold one right now!!

There was a bug in version 1.00 of the eBand Song List Editor which caused exports to failed. I believe it's fixed in version 1.01. Download it here:

Noticed this on YouTube. I hope it's not going to become a common problem with BR-80s as they get older.



Anyone here experiencing similar glitches with the wheel?
