"It IS AWESOME!"
This makes playing with any CD fun! The only thing is that it does not come with a power supply and eats AA Batteries. Like the sales man said. "You will get hooked and buy a power supply." He was right! Radio Shack is an expensive quick fix. It needs a type "K" connector on a 9VDC power supply. But, I ordered the power supply from TASCOM.
Sound
Sounds great, At times I forget that others can't hear me through the head phones. I can blast and not piss anyone off. Had to play with tone on a few effects to get rid of background hum and hiss. Then Effects sound great.
Features
This is the coolest! I can now play along with a CD. And, slow it down to 1/2 speed, & set in a repeat loop where I want to figure out the hard fast solos. You can increase the speed in increments as you get better, and soon I am playing hard fast solos at regular speed! Seriously, it has saved time 100% in learning really hard stuff! And made playing along with anything fun and easy.
Quality
This is the only CD play-along Guitar set out there. I used to have to use 2 headphones; 1 to listen to music, and 1 for my guitar. With this you get to use one pair of headphones and not have wires hanging everywhere.
Value
This is the coolest way to practice a song and play along with it. Speeds learning time, Headphones keeps noise down, it is small, and an easy to use without a lot of cables.… read more
