rhythmisnothing said:So I got this pedal in the mail yesterday from LongJohnny. BTW, thanks for the GREAT service like always:thu:
The first thing I noticed is the small footprint compared to the boss tu-2
(These pic's are stolen from a thread LongJohnny posted in)
I got to play with it at home last night, and I had a gig this afternoon (just got home from it) that I used it in.
Pros.
1. There is a "strobe mode" tuning, where the LED spins in circles either direction telling you that you are off. In Normal mode, after tuning with the TU-2, this pedal showed the same results. In strobe mode, I could fine tune my guitar a little bit more.
2. Small footprint = more room on pedalboard for more GAS
3. standard 9v jack in AND out like the tu-2
4. Built like a monstertruck. It feels/looks bulletproof, those pic's don't do justice.
5. Quality footswitch. The footswitch feels like it would last a lot longer then the tu-2
6. Fast tracking -thats all that matters, right?
7. LESS TONE SUCKAGE then the boss. Some people say the boss sucks their tone, some people don't. On the amp I have right now (Traynor YCV50blue), the tu-2 dropped the volume a little bit, but its gone w/ this tuner.
Cons
1. No LED to show if the tuner is on/off, this was my only complaint because after one of the songs I didn't remember if I turned the pedal on, and struck my low e string and it ran out through the venue
2. Strobe mode might be a little hard to understand for some slow folks and new users
