In a an already very busy market Line 6 have took the plunge into portable recording devices. So lets take a look at what features this has to offer.

Line 6 BackTrack provides total inspiration control anywhere you play music or feel inspired, including at home, in the studio, at soundcheck and at rehearsal.”

At home, BackTrack offers the best ways to capture and organize all your musical ideas.

In the studio, BackTrack gives you a head-start turning your inspirations into complete songs.

At soundcheck, BackTrack redefines the entire experience.

At rehearsal, there’s no end to what BackTrack can do for you and your band.

* BackTrack + Mic records your whole band with stunning clarity

I would personally would love to see this device fitted in the future with an onboard modelling chip like that of the pocket POD, Im almost suprised its notalready  featured here. But you still get a lot of amazing features for your buck.
