New here, apologies if this has already been discussed. I plan on recording electric guitar instrumentals in my small home office space, using a Roland Cube 20X amplifier and Zoom G2 effects pedal for my electric guitars. Among the music I write are some improvisations that can get very loud in the small room, even with the small amp, and with certain effects and feedback I hesitate when deciding on the appropriate recorder.
My online search has led me to the Tascams and the 05 looks really good for my needs. But I am wondering if the price difference (around 60 euros) upgrade to the DR-40 is worth it. I am especially intrigued by the function that records a second track at a lower db. I would like to have the recorder next to me when I record, but I can't stray too far from my pedals, so the recorder will be close to the sound source. Can I rely on either or both of these pedals to suit my needs (record tracks in mp3 and transfer to my laptops; record music on top of already recorded music)? Or should I look to some alternative recorder? I really don't want to spend more than the 157 euros asked for the DR-40 and even that is a bit higher than I wanted to spend. Thanks.
