Tascam GT-R1

Tascam's GT-R1 is a solid state, portable recording interface compatible with guitars and basses. It features built-in stereo condenser microphones and input jacks for patch cords. The GT-R1 hosts a rhythm machine and overdub mode for step-by-step song recording in MP3 or WAV format (16 or 24-bit quality). The recording interface comes with a 1GB SD card and a USB 2.0 jack for charging and file copying (to PC or Mac computers). It holds a low-cut filter and analog limiter to combat distortion as well the ability to load and loop MP3s and slow their tempo or cancel guitar or bass for song-learning.

I actually love this unit, but a simple function is missing. There is an 1/8" input jack but you have to choose which input you want to listen to. You cannot hear both the digital input from, for example your iPod and hear yourself play the guitar over it. It is one or the other. Question: Why even have this input jack unless it allows you to hear yourself play over the music coming through it? I am seriously baffled as to how this could have been overlooked since it is a very simple circuit to implement.
