Electric guitar...

I had a porta 424, but gave it away around '98 when things started to go consumer level digital.

I still have a porta-01 I inherited from my uncle.

Did I miss the original comment on Tascam in this thread?

What I really miss is my Roland TR-505 drum mchine.

At one point I had two of them. gave one to the same guy that got my 424.
Can't for the life of me remember what happened to the other one.

Those are highly sought after now.
Apparently there are a LOT of 80's and 90's songs that use them.
They do have a distinctive sound, if your ear is trained to them.
Yes I asked about it on the last page and got no answer but people started talking about building their own guitars and stuff and other stuff LOL.
Basically it's something you can put a CD in and slow down the music and pick section of it that you want to slow down and have it loop. I see on the internet where you can download apps that you can download URLs of YouTube videos but I just have my phone for the internet. I'm trying to get away from trying to learn songs on my phone it's just too hard to manipulate and I have to manually replay everything...
The little machine is 225 before I buy cds. I was just wondering if anybody had any practical experience with something like that and was it helpful?.,
