Product Description

Tascam MP-GT1 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 canceller 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. Put 240 songs in your gig bag with the MP-GT1, the first MP3 player for musicians. , 240-song memory capacity (based on average 4-minute MP3 encoded at 128kbps), Variable Speed Audition changes

4.0 out of 5 stars A superb gadget for practising guitar, 10 Jan 2008

By	Crazy Seahorse "Crazy Seahorse" (Cambridge) - See all my reviews

This is a fantastic gadget and a product I think is unique in my experience. Ths gadget allows you to download songs from your pc and play along with them. If you just can't get the fingering right, you can slow it down without changing the pitch, or if your sheet music or tab is written in a different key to the record then you can change the pitch and still play along rather than detuning your guitar. It has to be said that if you move it too many tones then the music begins to sound a bit processed, but this is a trainer not a public performance device. A word of warning is that this device does need mp3 and will not play wma files, you will need to find a method to convert them, there are plenty of ways and software from the internet. I have a creative sound card and the software that comes with it allows me to convert wma to wav and then wav to mp3, which is a bit of a chore but I only have a limited amount of tab from which to practise. similarly some people will think that 240 songs is not enough room, but this number of songs is well beyond my repertoire. I am sure future versions will have more memory but all future technology is faster and better and you have to buy sometime.

The user interface is pretty simple to use and I haven't felt the need to consult the manual yet. The tuner is more accurate than my exisiting chromatic tuner, although struggles sometimes to pick the signal for the low E. The guitar effects give quite a wide range and show individual effects in combination that you can adjust like an old pedal. I particularly like the auto wah effect, which somehow seems to anticipate the length of the note I want to play pefectly. A proviso to this is that I have always played fairly effect free, using mainly only the tone controls on the amp and the in-built reverb but sometimes a bit of chorus or delay or distortion; so I have no real feel for how this compares to a zoom box for example, or a more state of the art multi-effects box. Chorus, distortion, overdrive, delay, flanger, phaser, exciter are all there and I don't think most players need much more.

One criticism is that the output jack is 2.5mm jack headphone only, and given the versatility of the box, i would have liked the opportunity to loop it into my amp via 3.5mm, particularly as most headphones come with a 3.5 to 2.5mm converter; that said, my wife is pleased with headphones only option. Another criticism is that the battery charge time is on the long side (about 6 hours with the device switched off and plugged into an usb port) and it is quite power hungry, I got through about 50% of the battery power in an hour of playing. Lastly on the negative side is the feature that removes the guitar part, either I am not very skillful at operating the device or it doesn't work all that well. All of these things add up to 4 stars, but I guess if I could give it 4.5 I would.

In summary, a neat little gadget that is very useful for practising guitarists, it has a good range of functions and charging the battery through the usb port is a real boon.

1.0 out of 5 stars really bad, 29 Jan 2008

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice piece of kit, 30 Aug 2009

By	Funkster (UK) - See all my reviews

You could achieve the same more cheaply on your computer but this is portable. I have had it for around one year now and still works the same as when I bought it. The functions of altering pitch and tempo are really helpful. It does what it says it does on the box. The efects are resonable and I can take it wherver I want. Pretty sturdy. Crashes occasionally but no more than my computer and easy to reboot. If it died I would probably buy another.

This could be a superb product - the features are fairly well-thought out, the sound quality is better than you'd expect and it's built very solidly. Read more
