I recently moved from a looping pedal for backing tracks to a tablet. I play a lot outdoors and seeing the tablet was very difficult to impossible at times.

So I've decided to try an MP3 player. I'm hoping it will be easier to shade the screen. Picked this up as a Prime Deal for $97: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072C4YPCG?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

I like the fact that it has a line out in addition to a head phone jack. It also has a gain control plus a volume control.

Trying it out tonight.
