«  Pretty, but solid and practical accuracy bof ... »

Polyphonic tuner pedal size, equipped with a true bypass.
I use it for 2 years now, and especially repeat concert where you can not afford to go to unplug agree!
The screen is visible. The polyphonic mode (which was a little innovation and encouraged a lot of people to buy on the spot anyway ...) can be useful to see at a glance if you are not well tuned ( although if you use its leaves, you know that we are out of tune ...), but the accuracy is not great I think.
Even in normal mode (single rope), I find it better but nothing more. In comparison my little Korg AW-2G clip and my old Seiko over 10 years of age are more accurate. Yet I plug just after the guitar at the beginning of the chain. At the same time, the system of red and green dots that light + / - next one is very far or not the note is necessarily less accurate than a good hand, even digital, which come one aim sweet spot in the center of the beach ... so Logic.
Question bypass the other hand, RAS. I find that the pedal affects my sound, this is a good point.
Luckily for me I have guitars that take good agreement, so I'm using it more for sure if it is connected ... but often I do not need.
I do not know if I will ever ... Since this choice, a mini version came out, and I read here and there it seems more accurate ... I think if I had to change I will look closely Korg Pitchblack example, which apparently has a very good reputation ...
Not a bad product per se, but not enough successful. Can do better especially when you see that knows how TC (Nova etc ...).
