Takes a lot of patience to learn.
Counter-Intuitive
Stinkfoot•December 16, 2016
Good little device - great sounding rhythm tracks
But it is rich with features in a very small package and the UI is entirely counter-intuitive. I am a professional technologist and I've used several other recorders (usually Tascam) but I just haven't got the patience or time to figure out how to get this thing to record the way I need to and the manual isn't very helpful either, making you constantly skip around and then try to put all the fragmented pieces together.
Too late to return it now, or I would. Keeping in my little studio out because of the great rhythm tracks for practicing, but it has not fulfilled my expectations for recording.

Very neat unit to compare what I have, only rotated wheel doesn't work with my finger.
Roland should make a built-in folding stands for angle view and operate the unit.
I've used jamming with friends they so impress to hear it and saw I velcro-mounted on my guitar
I bought a Portable Charger RAVPower 7800mAh Power Bank External Battery Pack (2.4A Output, 2A Input) to use with this unit for long time running

Sorry I would not recommend buying this item

I found this item very difficult to navigate. I didn't expect it to be as complicated as it was hence I accidently erased some of the song features. I wanted this to supplement my learning guitar not have to learn this before guitar. Sorry I would not recommend buying this item, unless you have the spare time to read the not so good manual.
No Customer Service or Tech Support

This review is directed toward customer service / tech support. I had a problem I couldn't figure out after hours of reading instructions, internet research, and YouTube. I tried to contact the manufacturer and the seller numerous times over a two day period by phone and email. Both places you get answering machines to leave a message (no live person either place). I left at least 5 messages and sent 3 emails between the two of them. It is now 4 days later and have not heard from either one of them.
The BR-80 has a lot to learn and is hard to figure out. A little help with a couple questions would go a long way. If you plan on buying one expect to spend half of your life learning it because you will have ZERO customer service and tech support.
