Harley Benton MT100 3-stars Reviews

Two in one tuner/ metronome

Very Handy that you can use as a tuner and metronome. Small that fits your instrument case or bag. User interface is quite a challenge but once used, you get your way around. For the price I will buy it.

more complicated than I need though am sure features are good value for money

Not really recommended

Sticky buttons, sometimes you have to strum really loud so it can hear you

Very uncomfortable display

Batery worn out after a couple of months

Complex for such a simple device

I understand there are many functions on it, but let's face it, most of them are not used. It is not nice to have to navigate through seldom used functions for just on/tuning/off.

Many times the metronome starts ticking unexpectedly.

But it tunes your guitar, though.

Useful Tuner

It works as it should, although as with most clip on tuners, it's susceptible to background noise which can make tuning at gigs difficult. It works well for guitars but not so well on basses

Plural, but not accurate

Being the Tune the most important thing on a Tuner, this model does not help with proper accuracy.

Great little tuner, easy to use and so easy to up. Realy liked the metronome and the way you can change the settings. The read out is easy to see and bright enough to be easily visible in low and glary lighting (with no reflections on the screen. Just clip it in to your head stock press the power button and away you go. Unfortunatley it doesn't pick up the high E on my HB SC-450 BK so well, seems to dither about being unsure what string your plucking and seems to prefer the low E. Why ? may be better suited to an acoustic rather than an electric. other than that i would have given it four stars. its well made and sturdy looking for its size.

T D good service and very helpful.

good item !

good gadget for the price. simple to use and straightforward

An okay tuner while it worked.

I had this for a year or two until it just stop working. I'd say it's an okay tuner for the price although difficult to put on and off. And if you have more luck than me it might just last a bit longer for you.

Affordable multifunctional gadget

It's primary use is as a clip-on guitar tuner, and sometimes as a metronome. I had some difficulties understanding the meanings of buttons, but once you get them, it's easy to use.

It has a great price/performance factor though, so it doesn't really matter much.

I can recommend it for an average user.

Edit: my kids managed to break it in half, so that the main unit broke off the holding part. I used some superglue and it's still functional, both via the microphone, as well as via the vibration (touch sensor).

Worth the money

Unfortunately I'm not able to tune a guitar without such helpful tools like the Benton MT 100.

This was my first tuner but I didn't use it very long. Don't get me wrong, it does absolutly what it was made for, and you don't make a mistake if you buy it.

In my case, I soon found a tuner who was faster and more easy to use. So I made someone else happy with this MT100.

Not sensitive enough

I used this extensively on my last tour after my Peterson Strobo Clip was lost. This works ok, but it lacks sensitivity, which means that you have to hit the same string over and over again before it finds the right note. Once it finds/hears the note, it works well. I think it should be used as a backup for a better tuning clip.

I'm mostly a guitarist but recently I bought a Ukulele and I needed to buy a tuner as may guitar and pedal board had tuners built in. This took me a while to figure out but once I got the hang of it I find it good for guitar and Ukulele.

Could do better!

The MT100 promises a lot but fails to deliver. The display is a little overcrowded, and takes awhile to figure-out. The Tuner is not very responsive in either "vibration or MIC" mode. The Tone Generator is just annoying. The Metronome is the best part of this device, and once you become famillar with the relevant buttons it becomes a handy little practice tool. Overall it is too small to accommodate so many devices. Get rid of the Tone Generator, and make the Tuner more sensitive and the problem is solve!
