Works well for guitar, see detailed review
Sound
Sound is CD quality at normal speed, and pretty good slowed down too. Probably better than the TASCAM CD based trainer I have had for years, and much more convenient too. I tried MP3 files vs WAV and to get the best sound quality at slow speeds converting songs to a high sample rate WAV sounded best. If you don't have MP3 or WAV files you will probably need to get a file converter like Switch from NCH Software - works great or if you can find a free program on the internet
Features
Small, No CDs, large capacity for songs, recording and overdubbing, effects, sound presets, easy to use.
Ease of Use
Some decent guitar sounds for a trainer - has presets you can tune, and effects you can adjust. Some learning curve when you start out to convert and load songs. The manual is pretty good.
Quality
Seems well made and I expect it to be reliable.
Value
I think its a good value. I spent significantly less than I did on the CD based version years ago.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't dealt with TASCAM.
The Wow Factor
I'm all for something that makes learning songs more convenient and easier.
