Plug your guitar into Tascam's GTR1 portable recorder and lay down tracks wherever the inspiration hits. Combining a portable recorder with an instrument trainer for the ultimate songwriter's toolkit, the GTR1 provides the choice of using the built-in stereo condenser microphones or plugging in your guitar or bass to record using the amp simulator, reverb and multi-effects.
The built-in rhythm machine sets the groove when beginning your song, and the overdub mode allows you to build a song step-by-step. There's also a low cut filter and analog limiter to keep levels under control, whether you're improvising in the studio or recording rehearsals or concerts.
 The Tascam GTR1 portable guitar recorder and trainer (see larger image). |

The GTR1 records in MP3 or WAV format, 16-bit or 24-bit, and it comes with a 1 GB Secure Digital (SD) memory card to get you started. You can also charge the recorder and copy your recordings to your PC (Mac OS or Windows) via the USB port.
For training and practice, load MP3 files into the GTR1 and plug in to play along. Loop a section of a solo with two button presses, then slow it down without changing the pitch. You can even switch on a Guitar or Bass canceller to play along with the original rhythm section. The GT-R1 also includes a chromatic tuner and metronome for practice and warmup.

Bought mine from Streamline Audio Video via Amazon. Great price, free shipping and came quickly.
Hard to believe it's so hard to find a review for such a great product. It's very intuitive. File management is drag and drop. Hooks up to USB and charges from computer or optional power supply. Lasts a long time on a charge. Holds lots of songs. (read the specs for data) The looping and slow down features are great for practicing. Just push a button right on the front for start and stop points and another to loop. Slowing down without changing the pitch is one button push. Push it again to return to normal speed. I use it mostly for practicing drums since I don't have tabs for that. I have used it with guitar too. I think looping and slow down are the best features. The drum machine effects sound good and have a nice variety of beats but I haven't spent much time with that. Used it to record some ideas with the band live and was amazed at how good the levels were with no mixing or fiddling around. Emailed the song to the rest of the guys and they were impressed with it too - one take - live.
I have also used it to move some cassette tapes to MP3 format and it works fantastic for that too. A nice bonus. I bought the optional power supply too for around $20 - it is high quality.
I love this thing. My playing has improved quite a bit since it's arrival.
Hope this helps you as I could find very little info when I was looking.

Firstly I must say that this is the best portable practice unit I've ever owned. I can take the SD card and create my own folders of music that I wish to practice to. Be sure that the samples of music be it MP3 or WAV are at least 128 bit or they will fail to play.
Every thing from the drum patterns & effects to altering the playback and record functions are awesome BUT! and it's a BIG BUTT.
The 1/4 jack for the instrument however gentle I have been with insertion & withdrawl this connection gets short circuited rendering it completely useless to me. The first time I sent it back out-of-warranty Tascam did fix it for me no charge but shipping. Then it happened the second time. This is apparently a HUGE FLAW in the sodering circuit. This is the very part that gets the most physical use but they didn't make it dependable, even under the most gentle of usage, and believe me I baby my gear as I wish to enjoy its use for a long time. I'd like to get another one BUT I've lost confidence in its performance reliability. If I can't plug in it's no more than a mp3 player and I have a few already. Time to shop around again.

This really is a very useful device for a guitarist, and is a great value. The ability to record and overdub is very useful for the home/hobby musician - you can quickly layer drums, bass, guitar and vocals - I did notice that background hiss increased after each overdub, but not to the point of irritation.
Being able to slow down a song and change the key is incredibly useful when you don't necessarily have the sheet music, or you're looking at fast sections. For example a couple of songs: "It's A Long Way To The Top..." (AC/DC) and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" (Green Day) can be tuned down a half or whole step to allow open chords to be played.
I help kids rock bands practice and this device is invaluable in teaching them songs and recording them too.

It is a good little tool for what it is as far as the software is concerned. BUT, it sucks because the input jack is garbage. Read more
