Quality:
it is built like a tank, as are all other BOSS pedals. It is nice to use this as a mute switch to change guitars as well. It tunes very accurately, and the lights are easy to see. You can use it like a normal tuner, but if you’re more accustomed to a strobe tuner, it does it well, too. It also has a power output, so you can buy a daisy chain and power some more 9V stomp boxes or whatever. It is however a bit pricey; The probably wouldn’t spend this much money on it-a good friend gave me this one because he got another one and didn’t need two. But if you have the money, DEFINITELY go for it! You won’t be disappointed!
Sounds:
What can you say about the “Sound” of a guitar tuner, when it is on, you can have it mute your signal so you can tune quietly or you can bypass it so you can hear it. But they were unable to hear any change in tone whatsoever with it off. They use mine on a pedal board, early in the effects chain. Remember to always use your bridge pickup and turn your tone all the way down when you use an electronic tuner. Tuners are able to lock on to the much more stable signal when it hears low. Highs can confuse them and make them appear erratic.
Ease of Use:
It’s easy to use and easy to understand. Only spent five minutes with the manual and I was in the correct mode and ready to go.
Plug your guitar into the input socket and plug a cable from the output socket to your amp. However, that is if you want to tune your guitar silently. If you still want the signal to go through, plug the cable into the bypass socket then to the amp. If you didn’t understand that, don’t worry, it should come with a manual.
Value:
It’s just a little pricey. If it were in the $70 range, it would be prefect. Check latest price!
Desirability:
It’s built very well. It won’t let you down for quite a while. It’s a very handy thing to use on stage. It does the job it’s meant to and it doesn’t chew through the batteries (if you unplug it when not in use).
Overall:
The guitar can play pretty much everything, including drop tunings. This tuner there gets me there in a second.
