Boss makes a really cool Audio player with guitar effects, the JS 8. It turns out that some of the cool sounds that it has can be downloaded directly via a little hacking.
How to download the JS 8 sounds
You’ll need to create a fake JS 8 device. To do this you basically download the backup data and then format a thumbdrive so that it looks like a JS 8 device.
- Download eBand JS 8 factory installed data in the included SD Card
- Insert a thumbdrive, format it and name it “JS 8”.
- Unzip the “eBand JS 8 factory installed data in the included SD Card” and drag the “ROLAND” folder onto the newly formatted thumbdrive.
- Download the eBand Song List Editor Ver.1.01 for Windows
- Unzip, then install “eBand Song List Editor”
- Open “eBand Song List Editor”, it will automatically detect your faked JS 8 device and allow you to export all the songs from it.
