Improv Jam with Boss JS8 "eBand"

This is an improv of me trying out my new toy! I bought an "eBand" JS8 made by Boss.
It's a pretty cool little machine! It has preloaded rhythm tracks and tons of built in effects. You can do so many thngs with this thing...it holds a mamory card, can use a USB memory stick and can plug into your computer. It also will playback your mp3 player to jam along with!
Check it out on the web, and try one out! It' like a practice buddy at home!! LOL

Hope I didn't stink too badly here, but I had fun trying! I apologize for the occasional pops in the sound....they came from my recording software.....I'm still trying to figure all this stuff out, so bare with me!! LOL

Please rate, comment and subscribe if you would!

Thanks for watching!

COOL Al! What a fun toy!

I think I might get one!

@ToriGirlytar Thanks Tori! It is definately a blast of a gizmo!! I still jam with it often! I had no clue what I was doing when I did this vid 2 years ago...just a bunch of guess and go playing! lol

Very nice, I just bought an eBand too. BTW, is there a way to string together some of the shorter patches to create an entire backing song? For example, P089 is only 22 seconds long, and looping it forever is boring...Is there a way to string P089 for 4 measures, then something else for 2 measures, etc..?

@terryoyama Hey there! That sounds like a really cool idea, but as far as I know, there is no way to do that on the eband by itself....you can however use a DAW and record the various bits of the patches and edit them together there and then bounce that to a memory card and insert back to the Boss unit. This will allow the playback of all your loops and also allow you to use the effects of the Eband while jamming along with the track....Hope that helps!

Thanks for watching!

Hi,

I want to know if it is possible to connect this baby in to an amp if you want more output then those speakers can deliver and use all the effects?

[albooher1]

@gert125555 I haven't actually connected mine to an amplifier head itself, but I have connected to a 300 watt mixer amp and it works just fine!! All the effects are built into the eBand, so they are there no matter what you output to! If your just wanting volume and are by yourself, you can get some good headphones and it gets very loud as well!

Thanks for watching and hope that helps!

@chest002 Yes you can. You can plug an MP3 player in and "capture" tunes or you can use a USB device also.

Thanks for watching and if you have anymore questions feel free to ask!

[chest002]

Just would like to know can you down load mp3 back tracks to the eband. thanks

[albooher1]

Thanks Man!!

Yeah, this little thing is just fine by itself for jamming in your bedroom! Of course, more speakers never hurt a thing either!!! LOL

The quality of the sound is quite amazing.....and you even have a headphone jack to really intensify the sound!

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Nice work. I'm wondering how the internal speakers sound on this unit and after hearing 'em, will I rush off to get a pair of studio monitors or is the JS8 loud enough to enjoy using in my bedroom? I can't imagine any bass whatsoever coming out of those little speakers. Thanks!
