Boss to announce new BR at Musikmesse, April 10th to 13th

[64Guitars]

Boss is announcing a new BR at Musikmesse in Frankfurt, April 10th to 13th.

If you like tiny gadgets and find the original Micro BR and BR-80 a bit too big, then you might like the new nano BR BR-40.

Boss nano BR BR-40

• 4-track playback, 32 V-Tracks
• Onboard multi-effects and amp modeling based on the Boss GT-100
• Built-in advanced drum machine with editor software
• Built-in microphone and tuner
• USB 2.0 for high-speed transfers
• Record to internal flash memory then save finished song to external USB flash drive (up to 32GB; not included)
• MP3 compatible
• Watch mode features stopwatch, alarm, and voice memo
• Includes adapter cables for attaching to guitars, external mics, headphones, USB flash drives and computer
• Pricing and availability to be determined

As I've said before, I'm not a fan of tiny gadgets. I prefer full-size recorders. But I have to admit that my inner nerd would like a nano BR if the price is right.

I have also heard that Apple is working on a wristwatch version of the iPad.  One for each wrist, what a recording powerhouse for those late-night, back alley kind of recording situations we all find ourselves in from time to time.

I used to have a Casio watch that looked like that - it didn't record, but played waltzing Matilda as an alarm :-) I certainly didn't record even just a mono track - haha
