effects ranging from reverb, delay and modulation to the latest modelling effects
for guitar, bass and vocals. These include powerful overdrive/distortion and
amp modelling identical to the BOSS GT-6, acoustic and bass effects, plus mic

correction to keep you in tune, plus a Harmony Sequence function for creating
realistic harmonies—no background singers needed!
Build Your Own Backing Tracks
The BR-1600CD now includes separate Drum, Bass and Loop Phrase tracks for creating
complete backing arrangements. The Drum and Bass tracks come with high-quality

choose from a collection of loop phrases pre-loaded onto the hard disk. Using
these tracks, you can build professional-quality arrangements for your guitar
and vocals.

The BR-1600CD’s USB port makes it easy to load .WAV/AIFF files into a
track, or export your audio for further editing in software or data backup.
