"Better than the previous TASCAM CD-GT1mkII But..."

Feature:
The effects are good enough. It would be nice to have the power supply included, and even the carrying case. Biggest problem is I actually own more than 240 MP3s that I would Like to Jam to. I like that it is compact and portable, but so is my iPod. I mean I don't see myself walking down the street while playing my guitar, let alone jammin' while driving.

Quality:
Looks pretty sturdy, but I would drop just to verify this...

Value:
I thought $200 was a bit steep, and that's without the power supply or a case. So I won't buy one since I am extremely happy with my new setup (mTrax from terrasofta.com)

Desirability:
No I don't want it. I tried my friend's just to see how far Tascam had come along since the days of the CD-GT1mkII, which I had bought and quickly sold, at a loss of course, on Ebay. I think my friend will sell his MPGT1, look for it on Ebay, now that I showed him the software I am using, mTrax from www.terrasofta.com. For $30, I think mTrax is a much better value. One thing mTrax does not have is guitar effects. I play along with my guitar amp. You can also plug your guitar into your Line6 POD (or similar) and then your POD into you Laptop.

Sound:
The sound coming out of it is comparable to that of my iPod.

Ease of Use:
Pretty easy to use

Support:
Do not know

Overall:
Nice little gadget. I guess I am not the gadget type, especially since my experience with the TASCAM CD-GT1mkII.

"Best investment of 2007"

Feature:
This is an all in one solution. The battery last for hours and it's so small can go anywhere. Also bought the leather case from ValetStand which makes it totally portable. Just clip it on your belt and you can walk around no powercords or wires.

Quality:
The only challenge I've had is forwarding songs to quickly. My bad. It sometimes mixs the songs and have to reset. Just like iPod.

Value:
For $200 it is the best investment made to date. The leather case from ValetStand ran me another $37 dollars - but well worth the money.

Desirability:
It's small and sleek. Clipping on my belt allows me to Jam walking around so it looks alot better than sitting down in front of the old CD models.

Sound:
This is by far the best trainer yet from Tascam. I'm always a little picky about sound so It should get a 10.

Ease of Use:
If you have an iPod it sould take less than 1 hour to get this down. it is way easy.

Support:
Have contact tascam on other products. They always resolve.

Overall:
It is the best design on the market to date. I have not used my CD models since this purchase.

TASCAM's MP-GT1 is the first MP3 player designed for musicians. Based on the award-winning CD-GT1mkII, this fun mobile guitar trainer includes enough memory to store up to 240 songs. Guitar parts can be slowed down, looped and even eliminated to help you learn new riffs. Play back MP3s using Variable Speed Audition, which slows down the speed without changing the pitch, and sections can be seamlessly looped while practicing tricky passages. Songs can even be pitched up or down to match the tuning of your guitar, so you don't have to re-tune for every song.

The guitar input lets you rock along with thick overdrive and multi-effects, including a guitar canceler so you can play along with your favorite bands. A tuner, metronome, and rechargeable battery are also built-in. All of this is packed into an MP3 player smaller than a stomp box, so stuff it in your backpack, gig bag or back pocket and hit the road.

The MP-GT1 uses a high-speed USB connection to load up MP3s and charge the built-in battery (an optional power supply is also available). Zip through your MP3 collection using a data wheel, dedicated buttons and a graphical LCD display. A rechargeable 9-hour lithium ion battery is built into the unit, and an optional power supply is also available.
