Noisy ?

Mine is noisy when I put it on the pedalboard. Also noisy with a battery. I also noticed it changes the tone a little (it really shouldn't)..I don't understand why.

I will edit my review when I try it with a different power supply.

The manual says 600mA PSU minimal and maybe that's the problem - I don't have 600mA (but who does??). The screen probably is the reason for such big power needs.

*EDIT: There's no noise on 500mA PSU but the pedal pops (loud click noise) when engaged. I don't recommend this tuner.

Also when I'm drunk I can't remember if I have to aim for the green line or the blue line on the display when tuning.

**EDIT 2: After using it for a couple of months... I got used to it. It doesn't pop anymore since I made some changes on the pedalboard (i don't know what helped exactly). I used it live ..the display is bright and good. But I still have trouble reading the lines so I think my tuning is slower than it could be. It's a good tuner overall

Bad things - 500 mA needed for the display

- lines on the display hard to read for people with eye problems

Accurate, clear and easy to use

I use this on my pedaboard for bass guitar. It tracks very well even down to a low B, has a large bright clear display with various readout options, and is very solidy built. There's a power through socket which can be handy when plumbing in an extra pedal. A very good tuner.

Perfectly readable and precise

Fantastic display for the older eye. Precise enough to fine-tune the bridge setup for proper intonation.

I also liked the pass-through of DC power to feed other pedals on the board.

Lovely

A really nice bold tuner. Great onstage, super visible.

The Different settings for the method of tuning are neat.

I've always gone Korg for 30 years with regard to tuners rather than Boss.

I much prefer the huge screen this has.

Great tuner

Great pedal tuner with high accuracy and some display modes (some are more sensitive than others). Overall great buy but for the price it could have been made of metal not just plastic. Nevertheless it looks sturdy and works perfectly.

Of of the best

Very precise, convenient and robust tuner. With my far from perfect eyesight, I can easily use it without glasses. Also, it looks very innovative to me. Highly recommended.
