This does require a bit of a sit down with the manual as there are some sub programs to navigate, but you can skirt the real deep stuff and just record and play.

The unit seems to be well made. Nice feel to the controls, and placement really does make it easy to operate with one hand.
Features

Tascam did a good job with the mics. Does a real good job of picking up the low end and sounds nicely balanced. The Limiter works well, but I haven't used the 'Peak Reduction' feature yet. Not sure if I'd ever use the guitar tuner feature.

Menu system is logical, and it's easy to find things. Some of the things in the display are really tiny, though. Even with my reading glasses, it can be hard to see.
Sound
How is the tone?
Sound quality is great. Nice low end response and smooth top end. Typical Tascam.
