Hey everybody,I was wondering if anyone owns or has used a Tascam GT-R1 enough to provide some kind of review. It seems like it has some nice features, but I wonder if it's a little too Swiss Army knifey to be good at any one thing. For example, how does it record? How well does the slow downer work? How well does that guitar/bass reduce work? Am I right in thinking that it only works with Tascam external mics? Any info would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,PJSee More
