And the mp3 playback/slow down function is great for practice. All in all, a powerful, compact little machine.
I agree and will add that I routinely use this for my acoustic guitar. I use a CA Guitars Cargo with the K & K PWM pickup in it. These pickups do best into a 1 meg ohm load, which the Micro BR provides. You can program the effects and store your settings in the user spaces provided on the Micro BR. I have set up a patch based on an existing acoustic patch that has EQ tweaked so I can easily hear my guitar against whatever MP3 I am learning from in "slow down" mode. I want to also add that the Micro BR can slow down and loop a section of an MP3 file down to 25% of original speed. This seems to be quite a rare thing Micro BR are quite good and it is my "go to" tool for this purpose because it is less cumbersome than a computer. You plug your guitar in directly and just go.
