Boss DR-110

The second model from the budget Boss series Dr. Rhythm analog machine, mainly famous for the previous model Boss DR-55.

The DR sound reminds closely the Roland TR-606 a bit metallic and compressed but pretty good.

REVIEW : "A kind of cheaper tr-606. Dr110 is a bit limited, but nice decent: it's a pocket-sizes piece of vintage gear still affordable"
