BOSS DB-30

The Take-Along Timekeeper

Los Angeles, CA, January 20, 2005—It’s portable, reliable, and fun to use — the new DB-30 helps musicians take their music to higher levels by offering a feature set that defies its diminutive size. Much more than just a simple timekeeper, this pocket-sized metronome can lay down a variety of rhythm patterns and time feels to practice with, and it has a few timekeeping tricks up its sleeve as well.

Choose from a menu of nine rhythm types and 24 beat variations, including combinations of odd-time signatures and clavé patterns for practicing Latin rhythms. The DB-30 features a smooth-flowing LCD needle and two bright LEDs for visual tempo assistance. Other helpful functions include Tap Tempo for finding the right pulse fast, internal reference tones (12 semitones), Auto Power Off for optimizing battery life, and stereo headphones jack so you won’t miss a beat, even in noisy environments.

Who says practice has to be a pain? Put some extra spice and groove into your next workout with the DB-30.
