TASCAM CD-GT1mkII Portable CD Guitar Trainer

[bmschrad]

Has anyone ever use one of these? They look right up my alley, I travel a lot for work and my girlfriend just loves it when I crank up the amp while she's trying to watch tv. It says that you can slow down and loop certain parts of cd's, built in metranome, and tuner. I don't care if the sound quality is kinda crappy because I'm only using it for practice

I really want to get one but they're $150 which is a lot of cash for me, but if it works half as good as they advertise, it will be a god send!

Here's a link to it:

I have the first generation model. The MK II has improved features from what I understand. Overall, it's a pretty good tool for slowing down fast passages. The sound quality is good enough. It's only a practice tool. Problems I've encountered are matching the sound level of my guitar with the level of the CD, and the sound quality decreases the more you slow down a passage. Minor problems, and for the money probably your best bet.
