Russell,

I have owned 3 digital recorders and now have the Tascam DP01 FX. The Boss & Tascam units have come miles since they started producing recorders. I would recommend either brand here. Just make sure you get one with the ability to up/down load via USB capability. That way, you can export tracks for edits and re-import them with FX etc . . . I do that here.

USB is the way to go when up/down loading. It is super fast both ways and the easiest method to use for drag-n-drop.
