what's blemished?

Blemished

This is typically a customer return. This inventory includes all parts, components, manuals (hard copy or downloadable) and the full factory warranty. It is guaranteed to work perfectly, but it has a cosmetic blemish. It may be less attractive than Warehouse Resealed inventory, but it's priced even lower! This inventory is a great value.

"Excellent for learning solos."

Feature:
External non usb power supply INCLUDED would be nice. Swappable/expandable memory. 1/4 out would be cool. the buttons and wheel are EASY to learn. Picked it up in 5 mins without touching the manual. Seems a bit odd to use the 'guitar cancel' feature. Maybe I don't have it 100 percent figured out yet, but was only able to REDUCE some guitar sounds, not cancel them. Again, this may be my lack of knowlede of the unit, or how the MP3 files actually 'store' guitar 'tracks'... Its a sturdy little unit.

Quality:
Sturdy exterior. Looks like it will take a few drops and kicks no problem.

Value:
Fairy nice. More memory would justify its current price.

Desirability:
Kicks butt over the old CD trainer, that seemed slow and laggy.

Sound:
sounds great. The quality of the mp3 should determine this.

Ease of Use:
WAY WAY easy to use.

Support:
Havn't needed support. This is my first Tascam product too.

Overall:
Suits its description very nicely.

Tascam MPGT1 MP3 Trainer Customer Review

Feature:
Effects are amazing. I can always find one that sounds like the song I am trying to play. I have barely messed with the custom settings, just using the presets.

Quality:
The ON-OFF switch is a little wierd, you have to hold it in and move it. Battery could last longer.

Value:
It is uniquie - only MP3 Guitar trainer. Price seems reasonable compared to other MP3 players, plus it has lots more it can do.

Desirability:
None compared to IPOD.

Sound:
Digital MP3 As good as the file and your headphones.

Ease of Use:
Read the manual, OK.

Support:
I was to dumb to figure out the ON-OFF switch, but I emailed support and they got me the right answer the next day.

Overall:
I expect it to last a long time. I would definately replace it if lost. It has fundementally improved my guitar playing. The ability to slow down music to figure it out and practice it before having to blaze through it has opened new doors for my guitar playing. Loop feature is invaluable.

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.

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.
