nobodysprefect Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) This is a really neat little box and it's in mint condition - as new. Less than a year old, it's got perhaps 50 hours of playtime on it. It has potential, but I'm just not learning covers any more, so it's main use is no longer relevant. Many guitarists praise the multi-track recording, but I've not more than tried it. So, what's it do? It allows you to play along with mp3s and slow them down as needed, without affecting pitch, over a looped bit if you like. You can record a loop and repeat it 'til you're blue in the face. Why I prefer this to doing it with computer software? Well... This is a portable unit, and with this box you just plug in, put on your phones and play. This has also got a built-in drum machine. Very handy for practicing different grooves! And it's got a built-in mic. And it can record in stereo to two discrete tracks from it's stereo input. And and and... Lots of features above the Tascam trainers, which are usually considered great training tools. Easy to use: once you grok a function, you won't be looking it up on the manual again, I think. This isn't a pro-level field recorder, and isn't billed as such. Great practicing tool and a sketchbook for your ideas? Yep. Uses either AA batteries or the bog-standard 9v DC adapter. I'd recommend rechargeable batteries, as they don't generally last long with hand-held recording-capable units. Since they are asking about 138 quid on ebay for these new, how does 95 quid shipped including the silicone 'pocket/shell' which costs a further 10 quid sound? Shoot me an offer and I'll at least respond civilly Sold locally for about 100 quid. What can I say? He's a guitarist! Not everyone gets the basschat prices.
