Seamless guitar mute

As well as being a good tuner it also mute your guitar quietly and seamlessly

Small size - great price

Does exactly what it should.

LED turns green when in tune which is a nice feature to visually see when you are ready to rock.

Heavy duty

I have it at the start of my rig...hit the button kills the sound so everybody doesn't have to hear you tuning up...you can see the display from Jupiter...BRIGHT green easy to read...works with whatever you plug in..bass etc..any tuner is a must but this is a solid build and inexpensive I won't say cheap...I'll be getting a couple more for multiple instruments...cheers

Great little tuner

I wanted a small tuner to fit on my pedal board, and this works great.. The display is clear seems accurate against my other tuners and a real bargain price..

Great tuner for the price

Accurate, fast, very bright and visible. Can't be beaten for the price.

Your classical tuner

Nothing different from the expensive ones. 3 years and its still like new!

It's Still Working!

I've had a few cheap pedal tuners in my time. Usually they pack up within a few months, but this one has lasted a long while (probably around 3 years at this point). Sure it doesn't look the nicest, but it does the job, and is pretty durable. Would recommend!

Does the work

The tuner is not super accurate, but for the price it will fit the job well. I can recommend as a budget pedal to place on your board.

imPrESivE

It looks amazing and good for the price, but i am a little disapointed with the tiny impact it does on my sound. I expected a rock tone, but it just turns off my signal. I think this is a mistake in my pedal, so hopefully yours will be better. I kinda think its a code. Cause it just shows me random letters, maybe some employe has been kidnapped, or something. But everything else is quite good :D

Pretty good overall

It works well for tuning. The led light is really, really bright.

For the money it's fine

Good basic tuner, which for the money does a good job. If you are looking for something simple and at your foot, this is a good place to start.

Cheap and Cheerful

Does exactly what its suppose to do. Solid build, especially for the price. Can't go wrong and a must for any pedal board

Simply works well

This do What we expect.

While it's on, it blocks output signal.

Screen is easy to read

great budget value

As always from a harley benton product: great budget value.

pro: cheap, small footprint, does the job.

con: the leds are way too bright.

I don't know if it sucks tone or generates noise. I don't run it through my signal chain, but through a seperate tuner jack from my volume pedal.

Not really True Bypass

It's a very simple unit, one butten for on/off and a screen and some LEDs for tuning. The tuning (what it's designed for) is okay. More expensive units are probably more precise, but for home use it suffices.

Pro's:

The unit is cheap, small and easy to use. The screen is nice and big and tuning it this way is good to do. Besides it looks quite fresh.

Cons:

The red LEDs are so bright you can't look at the unit without eye dameage. I had to tape them off to actually use the unit. Who designed this??

But the biggest issue: The unit distorts the sound in bypass mode! When playing a bit hard on my single coil guitar it distorts. I can imagine this being a far worse problem on humbucker or active guitars. Therefore I'll be putting it behind a true bypass splitter I still have lying around and would not recommend this unit for whoever wants to use it on a serious pedalboard.

Keeping my guitars in tune.

A very simple and cheap tuner does the job very well

Great small footprint tuner

I needed an extra tuner for my Bass pedal board. This worked great for me and took up little room on my board so I didn't have to bump any pedals! Only con I could think of is the stomp button is a little hard to push and makes me worry about how well it will hold up down the line. Other than that its a great little tuner!
