DR-770, November 2, 2008
This review is from: Boss DR-770 Rhythm Drum Machine
Good standard drum machine perfect for pre-programed pattern playing some real-time manipulation is possible but limited. Nice effects and sound shaping. Overall a good base unit.

Pennyland Music, January 15, 2009
This review is from: Boss DR-770 Rhythm Drum Machine
I have a DR-770 and before it interited a DR-550. Excellent sounds but designed by blithering idiots who have obviously never used one to play with a guitar in a live gig environment. The foot pedal capabilities is extremely limited inasmuch as you can move from main to supplementary pattern - but not back again via the footswitch. (You can do it via the buttons on the front - but hey design-dumbos, you need both hands for a guitar!) Also when the second footswitch button is used to STOP the pattern play using it to re-start brings you in at the same point in the pattern you stopped at (could be beat 2)Who would ever ant to start on the second beat? Why oh why not re-start at the beginning of the patern like real professional drum machines? Once again, a wonderful sounding bit of kit with non-vol memory and good sounds badly let down by some complete lack of understanding of the needs of those who use it - i.e. people like me - the customer! (Did Boss recruit their engineers from British Leyland? Just a thought!)
