The JB Recorder would probably be OK for your use. I have a Recorder V2 and have been very pleased with the quality of live recordings. The microphone will probably do a good job picking up lead guitar, vocals, and snare, hi-hat, and cymbals. The bass and bass drum, and the floor toms may need a little boost on playback, though. The JB Recorder, when loaded with the FREE ROCKbox software can do this for you.
