Fostex FR-le2 or Microtack II if you had you choice?
« on: May 03, 2014, 07:28:57 PM »
I can get either one for the same price, almost.. around $99 bucks… Both are out of the box with no accessories..
Both have been sitting in a display case for about a decade……

No brainer, get the FR-2LE.

My original 2007 review (published in LineUp magazine) is HERE should you wish to read it.

If you are using it for a bit bucket, the FR-le2 does not have a digital in.  Since I would need it for after the V3 this would not be an option for my set up.

The no-brainer is "both"!

I got both the FR-le2 & the MT-II for a grand total of… $145.00
