CPT-20 : tuner that's value for the money.

11 years ago

purchased this to use on my pedal board as i was after something small and not to expensive and this is ideal for the job. the pedal i received is silver all around and not white as it appears in the pictures, this though is not important to me.

the bypass switch seems sturdy enough and when set to tune mode it cuts off the sound to the amplifier so it could also be used as a kill switch. there is a bright led screen that indicates the note being played with indication to whether the note is high or low to adjust the tuning, i have compared this to other tuners that i have and it seems spot on when using for standard tuning or dropped tuning.

it is all metal in construction other than the display screen and i would imagine that this thing will last for years to come.

on the down side this can only be used with a 9v power supply as there is no facility for a battery connection.

also the led lights that indicate flat and sharp notes are not in line with the metal casing, this does not affect the use but is down to the quality of the build.

summary: for what this tuner costs i think you get value for money. i would replace this with the same model if i was to loose it.
