Hah. That's what I use it for also, although I only have the D8. Great machine with alot of useful tools. Yeah trigger recording which is a benefit. It's also got up to 4 simultaneous multi-effects at once. Although you are limited to which ones you get to use together. The best combinations are there though. My favorite feature is the built in metronome and drum tracks, which is kool just to find a cool beat and go off on the guitar and record what you did. Awesome for getting song ideas. I don't know what I would do without my little multitracker. :)
