    three months down

    some one boss digitech zoom etc

    the display is accurate fortunately for a tuner
    the less it there's no safety in the auxiliary circuit for powering other pedals vo

    no I do not remake this choice!

    Not bad at all

    I bought this tuner there 2-3 weeks without trying thousands of tuner pedal format prior models.

    Frankly it does the job, it is accurate, clearly visible in the dark, and not too bulky. The case looks solid and it is a reference in the field.

    Frankly if it takes over the long term it is a small ultra-profitable investment.

    The value for money is good.

    I recommend it!

    I used the last 4 years, and c is what is best in terms of pedal tuning.

    It is not the poly stuff that does not work great. Here we are talking about a very precise tuning.

    Very visible in the dark.

    Bass or guitar.

    I bought it recently, because after 10 years of music, I thought it was time to buy a tuner! In fact, I already had a small "clip on" korg (we put on the head of the handle and takes vibration), but unte hand, although it was not clear very fast and therefore not practical for the scene, and on the other hand, with this kind of tuner you can not adjust the intonation of a guitar.
    The Pitchblack is the perfect area for me it all: very fast, you are not forced to mutate each string has one and wait for the tuner gets back his emotions after each string, and the indication is stable, the diodes will not panic before analyzing the note played correctly. In my opinion, no need of poly (same pr…

In my opinion, no need of poly (same price), we agree very quickly with this one. And then poly, for the same price, is more complex, I think that simplicity is synonymous with reliability ^ ^
    Noveau building, the case is metal and feels solid, only the underside of the pedal is plastic, but in general, it is not too tortures this partly. The switch is very soft and feels solid. As for the display, I find it very readable, and it seems bright enough, even during the day. Then, if we play outside with the sun shining above, maybe it's embarrassing, but it does not happen to me right now ^ ^
    It is true bypass, no staining sound. The whole seems to me very well built, the tuner works very well, the price is reasonable (58 euros), it seems to me to be a great value.

    Great to put on line in the rack of pedals, and to agree between songs, thanks to the bypass.
    Aprciable accuracy and highly visible LEDs in the dark.
    I recommend strongly.

    Many right things have been said about the technical part, do not bother to add more.

    I just plussoie the fact that this is a very good tuner, solid and reassuring, practical in all circumstances ... a must have

    Well done job

    Very good tuner for the stage, visible and ultra simple.
    My choice fell on that one because it was a bit cheaper than the BOSS.
    Small flat, which is not even one for my use, but in principle it's not top: It is supposed to be able to power other pedals cascade when it is plugged into AC power adapter. This feature has never worked. It does not change me much, because I have a supply of good size for my pedals, but I like that unit operates in full when it is new.

    It is not long that I use but since the time that I see that my colleague is going to say that I do not take too much risk. It is not very bulky, is very readable in the dark, allows a fast and accurate tuning and seems solid. In short I need nothing else.

    Done exactly what we asked!

    Used for 1 year.
    I hesitated with the Polytune but looks more "sensitive" in the worst sense of the term ("needle" that would control Alzheimer's disease).
    Different styles of display tuning, stay on easier and it suits me perfectly. I find it without being too sensitive, it can perfectly adjust the tuning! After C course it is less sexy than Polytune but honestly, what we do not care! :)

    beautiful, practical, strong, effective

    I use it for 4 years
    this is my first pedal tuner.
    What I like: it's beautiful, it bypasses it works well in the dark, it is clear, strong, lightweight, functional ...
    why spend more?
    Already new it is not more expensive than it's worth.
    No, nothing at all, no, I have no regrets. So if it again, I would.

    Since 2009 I use in my pedalbord after testing boss and others.
    It is very well and did what we asked, it consumes very little. The readability is very good on stage. I would do this choice without hesitation (necessarily with comparisons with the last out if better at the same price). The price / quality ratio is good.

    Doing a good job!

    I use it for a few months.

    Good build quality. Housing black painted aluminum. Several types of operation. But I used one, the most classic. Calibration of the LA between 436 and 445 Hz Format relatively small, so easy to put on a pedalboard. Looks nice, a bit futuristic.

    I've never used on 9V battery: it is installed on my pedalboard and is powered by a 1Spot system.

    It is quite effective, but could be a little faster! Sometimes, after a certain time settings, it seems that a little enmêle brushes. It's unpleasant, but it's very episodic and occurs only when specifically long tunings (eg, to provide a Floyd Rose after changing the strings). Just cut, then back to either OK again. …

    In the end, I'm generally happy. It may not be the most efficient on the market, but it is a good average, with a quality / price very interesting report.

    If it again, maybe I would do this choice. Or maybe if I can find a better price / quality ratio. Say it is well suited for musicians who do not want to invest in an exaggeratedly tuner pedal.

    I put 8/10 taking into account the price / quality ratio. Without considering them, I would rather put 7/10.
