Long battery life
8 x AA type 2000mAH Ni-MH Batteries will give you more than 5 hours of playing time, so time is certainly not a problem when you are playing the FR-1! The player can walk easily on stage without worrying about time.

A speakerless light model
Connect your FR-1 to Roland amplifiers (MOBILE CUBE, CM-30, CUBE Street, SA-300) and be impressed by the power of your sound!

Play anytime and anywhere!

Make your FR-1 unique!
