I use it every time I play, repeat, itches ... since I bought it. Before this pedal I've owned many small pocket tuner (korg, boss, ...) which were useful only for bass and guitars tuned in a "conventional". In most cases, the indication of the note was pretty random.

There is a priori nothing I do not like in this case.
As against many things I like:
- The ability to leave the pedal on (or not) while I play, allowing tuning alterations in the games.
- The quality of the display that is both highly readable while remaining discreet enough ... And especially the high accuracy of the indication (you can also choose between two display modes)
- The famous manufacturing quality Boss: the boxes still compact and solid. And the quality of the "display" that is both beautiful and sturdy
- Then - and here it gets interesting - the multitude of possible tunings, with numerous ranges and the ability to grant other instruments (for example, I give a cello with this.) It also allows me to retune perfectly one second guitar with improbable colors and a low note two octaves below standard tuning ...
- Other great quality: it can power other pedals 9v to the same polarity. One caveat, however: if the pedals are Boss it works very well - it should still not exceed the equivalent number issued to the amperage (I do not know how ... but easily feed 4, 5 or 6 Boss pedals). However, I found that other brands of pedals, yet with the same power, could suffer from instability current received. Is not very sharp in electronic term I like this observation.

The quality / price ratio ... You can say hundred balls (almost) for a tuner is Chero ... Except that, given the opportunities it provides, a posteriori, it is actually a great investment that will prove profitable in the long term, because in fact, you can buy small tuners many times (because they are broken, the lost, the use ...): it can stay with you a lifetime! And it has become an indispensable tool for me which allowed me to consider my instruments with more width.
I remake that choice suddenly without any hesitation.
