This is a solid piece of equipment. I have been using this for 8 months now without a single problem. The only downside is the software, it is too simple, it really needs some routing options as it has none! I also have a Behringer ADA8200 hooked up to it with no issues...after I bought decent BNC cables!

Not a good machine from Tascam. The sound quality is fairly good using the in-built mics...which is the best thing I can say about it. My first problem was with the archaic menu system - someone decided to use as many buttons as possible to navigate and make setting changes. The next issue was finding that the body of the unit is very microphonic which means that the unit cannot be held in the hand whilst recording! Arrgh! Unfortunately, I had had this unit for several months before trying to plug in external mics or line level signals as the inputs are not working at all.

...would you believe me that these boxes work well for jamming in da studio...then you have to switch 'em off n go elsewhere.

Great sounding unit with good functions, such as XLR and SPDIF connectivity [I haven't had call to use the USB side of things]. Unfortunately the build quality seems a bit dodgy to me as mine has developed a fault on the Input knob...

I've got two of these, bought second hand for less than £50. I have to say that I really don't like the sound of the reverbs on this. Saying that all the other effects are great! I mostly use the delays, but also use the chorus and flanger, my only fault with them is that they are too clean, but that's what you get from digital!

The build quality isn't fantastic - the knobs are flimsy and no two have the same 'turning resistance' [I made that up!], however, I have had this since 1996 and it is still going well, as is the massive buzz monster of a PSU. Sound wise it is damned good, and is very, very quiet. It also has a very useful side-chain input should you need it! As of now [November 2017] these are hard to find, but, when they do come up they are bargains for £250-ish.

A truly great compressor for the price, has a great 'well made' feel to it. I can't fault it!

I use this as a dedicated compressor/limiter for a circuit bent Alesis HR16. it works, and it preserves my monitors from being flayed to death! :)

I use this as a dedicated compress for a circuit bent Zoom FX unit. it works, and it preserves my monitors from being flayed to death! :)

OK this is a cheap shortwave radio, it does nothing special but it is a great source for weird samples. It has a headphone output.

I'd give this 5 stars, as it is a great tuner, but it really does need a back light. I particularly bought this tuner as you can adjust the Hz and thereby tune the tuner!

This is my first piece of analogue machinery, due to acute poverty, I've been digitally synthing for 30 years, and WOW. It's sooo easy to do everything! AND IT SOUNDS FANTASTIC!!!!

...that I can say about this monster: It is, in my opinion, the best digital synth ever.

...amazing sound module! I use this for 'normal' instrumentation, such as strings, pianos and percussion. It does have some great synth sounds, but there's not a lot you can do with them as programming is rather limited. It does sound absolutely fantastic, and you get access to a lot of sounds, especially with the expansion cards. I have 3 cards and have over a thousand presets to play with.

...To Hell And Back. Switch Matrix. Red & Black LED. And Dials...Wonderful Dials!
