...Hi Dudes!!! The best tuner ever, forget your rack gear and pro audio nonsense, this is definatly the best tuning pedal there is. You can run this pedal through your effects loops or run it straight thrpugh into your amp either way works fine. The stomp action allows you to by-pass the tuner when not using and retain your sound with no differennce but when you press it down to tune it cuts of sound coming from your ampliphier so people in the pub dont have to listen to you tune!!! It has a bright and very easy to understand display allowing you to tune chromaticly a bass guitar electric guitar and them a semitone or tone below the standard "E" tuning. it can also show string nunbers if you wish to use it this way!! A definate buy!!! Peace!!!... Read review

This is only a slight difference and shouldn't be a problem for someone fairly experinced, but beginners might want to watch out for this. I also use the tuner to practice singing in tune. This is possible because unlike the GA-30, this one is chromatic. All 12 semitones of an octave, including sharps and flats, are included in the tuning range. This can be pretty useful too if you want to play around with funky tunings on your guitar.The digital 'pitch pipe' also covers each semitone. Very seldom do I use this, but it will be useful for any one wants to learn how to tune by ear. The machine takes 2 AAA batteries. To get to this you have to pull off the entire back of the tuner, thus revealing its innards. I havn't needed to do this many... Read review
