Default Anyone tried the nw Boss Acoustic Singer Pro?

I know there was interest in this on the forum pre-release. I'd be very interested in hearing from anyone who's tried one (sound, looper effeciency, weight, projected durability?). thanks!

I've had one for a while to review it for Acoustic Guitar. (Not sure when that will appear). Short summary - I like it, it sounds good. Looper is basic, but it works. Weight's around 30 lbs, if I recall - you can check the specs online. Seems solidly built.

Pretty Cool! Is this actually Made In Japan? I see no Assembled In China or any other designations for this country? Made In Japan--Even Cooler!

Your review is about the Boss Acoustic Singer Pro or Boss Acoustic Singer Live?
Because there is a great difference (120W vs 60W)

Thanks Doug, good info. Did you find the looper to have any lag time when engaged, or that annoying 1 second repeat of a previous loop when you cancel it to put down another one? And yes, I was referring to the Pro, not the lesser wattage model.

I wasn't able to give the looper much of a workout, since it requires extra Boss pedals, not included, to operate by foot. It has an "auto-start" feature from the front panel that worked great, tho you have to manually stop it in that case. If I recall, you get different functionality with different Boss pedals.
