Though peterson entered the world of clip on tuners quite late. This has got to be one of the better ones I've ever tried. Yes it's a bit pricey, and it comes with super fancy packaging, and the quality of the clip on tuner itself isn't very good. It's on par with the other $20 clip on tuners you'll see, all made of plastic, all with plastic batter compartments that are weird to flip out without feeling like you're gonna wreck the whole thing.
The LED is, to me, not bright enough. Other tuners have way brighter and visible displays, I don't know what it is with manufacturers and the LEDs, it needs to be ULTRA bright for stage! This one is not.
However, in terms of tuning. I have to say this is one of the most sensitive clip on tuners I've ever used, which I like. It depends on the player but this is good for me and it's simple. I've been using Peterson tuners for over 5 years now and haven't used anything since I switched over. So I'm happy to see that there's finally a quick clip-on version of this! I used to use all pedal tuners before and now I don't even have to have a tuner on my board or anywhere in my guitar chain! I can just simply bring this little baby with me and take it off whenever. Saves space on my board, costs less and can tune literally EVERYTHING.
It's near perfect. I just wish the LED was brighter and the construction was sturdier, though I'm crossing my fingers now cause I actually haven't had any problems thus far.
