I'd echo what Lowden says. There is still a thread here which has a load of sound examples from various different places which might help give you an idea of what things might sound like.

I use mine A LOT. In the last 24 hours I have used it to practice new songs sitting in the car at work at lunchtime. I went to a concert last night and sat it on the floor and recorded what was on (I know it was terrible of me but it was wonderful fiddle playing) and the quality is very reasonable. And I'm listening to my lunchtime practicing as I type this and thinking perhaps I should'nt sing these particular songs this week :)!! Tonight I will probably take it with me to our weekly singaround and experiment more.
