GuitarMonsterz from Thorndale, PA
Subject:
Much like the old one but a bit better.
Quality:
It looks well put together and feels solid as well as the controls and buttons.
Reliability:
Only time will tell, however I think it should stand well overtime. However, it is not made for abuse.
Overall:
Overall, this one looks and sound better than the previous model. Provides the same functionality except for some additional effects. I wish it had more guitar volume than the CD's but that won't prevent me from using it as I use it primarily for learning lyrics and sometimes for guitar phrases.
And for the money I think it is a good value.
Playability and Feel:
N/A
Finish:
The color is just fine, I wish it was black.
Do you own this product?:
Yes I own it.

Doug from New York
Quality:
It looks like it will hold up over time.
Sound:
The unit provides a few sound patches which are OK, but you can also plug it into your amp to get the tome you need.
Reliability:
Still new, but for a plastic unit, it appears heavy enough for daily practice sessions.
Overall:
This is a great learning tool for the price. It allows you to slow the tempo down without changing the pitch so you can hear individual notes, bends and slides in order to learn the song correctly.
Skill Level:

Players of all levels will appreciate this little box!
Quality:
For nearly $150 bucks I would have liked metal instead of plastic. It feels a little cheap but it has not affected the functionality.
Sound:
The sound is cool enough. Hey, it's not the be all end all. After all, it IS a guitar trainer. It has the usual digital drag at slower speeds. The good news is, the CDGT2 does so without changing the pitch.
Reliability:
It gets the job done. I have had no problems with it.
Overall:
Whether you shred, pick, or slide, this compact little unit is a must have. Learn your favorite licks or review your own. It's portability and extreme ease of use makes it a great addition to any studio or gig bag. I like the fact that it takes a full sized CD. I was not too chipped about the "optional" power supply. You totally need it. That is unless you want to buy batteries all the time. Save them for the road or in a power failure.
Playability and Feel:
Buttons are conveniently located, it's light, and super easy to navigate. More time to rock, less time reading a boring manual. You may evn be able to skip that.
Tone:
Has decent effects. I got it for practice so it is not overly important to me.
Finish:
The red color is cool even if it is molded plastic.
Action:
The buttons could have a softer touch.

Quality:
This unit seems well put together and it has not stopped working
Reliability:
I've only used it a couple of times because I have the older model which I think works better.
Overall:
It is very compact and nice looking but the volume output of the guitar is very low. The Cd is much louder than the guitar no matter how much you turn it up. It has a lot more effects than the original but it's not better. I could have saved my $149
Playability and Feel:
It' light weight
Finish:
Nice looking piece
Action:
Worked as intended
Skill Level:
Intermediate
