Rana...God bless you, the turbostart was basically a shortcut set of directions for general use which will work for me until the full manual arrives. Once I had the Adobe program loaded, it was simply a matter of printing the directions.

Clinton...Yeah I know what you mean. I sometimes use a Digitech multi-effects unit on my flat-tops, but it's heresy to the hardcore acoustic folk. I wouldn't use it in the context of the celtic band I'm with, but it's great for some other stuff.

Btw, the BR8 seems (so far) to be relatively idiot-proof (though I might test its limits there) and extremely guitar and user friendly compared to other units I've seen.

Thanks for your help!

Peace, Mooh.
