Major features I used:
1) loop a segment of a song over and over and slow it down without changing its pitch.
2) change the key of a song. (This is useful when you practice songs with
different keys. It's tedious to tune your guitar once per song!)
3) mix my bass into the music from CD
4) boost the bass part from the CD
So I could practice one segment at a time and hear if I play it right. Bass boost doesn't help much on death metal though since bass is usually buried by guitar on death metal albums. I supposed you could achieve the same thing using software on computer. After all, the so-called bass boost is just heavyEQ-ing. But I like the idea of having all these features in a small package.
As a bonus, a chromatic tuner is built-in. No wonder I haven't played much metal since my bass was stucked with standard tuning!
I wish it takes SD card and works with MP3 stored on it but I could always burn songs to a CD-RW first. Right after I bought it, Tascam indeed released one that works with MP3.
