Qwik Tune QT1 Guitar and Bass Tuner

Feature:
Pretty basic. Has input and output jacks which is nice for tuning an electric guitar. Auto and manual modes. Switches off after ten seconds of non use which saves battery power.

Quality:
Had mine since 1996, had no problems with it at all. Only replaced the battry twice in that time.

Value:
Perhaps not as feature packed as other models, but for a simple and easy to use tuner I think this one is value for money.

Desirability:
Pocket size, you can take it anywhere. Light Weight. I like that I can leave it inline between my guitar and amplifier so I can check my guitar between songs.

Sound:
Does not produce sound.

Ease of Use:
Very straightforward. Automatic mode allows you to tune any string. In manual mode you simply select the string you wish to tune. Displays if the string is in tune or if its under or over the correct frequency using an LCD needle.

Support:
Never needed support.

Overall:
I have had it over ten years and must admit that I've never needed another tuner. This thing has never let me down and I paid aruond 8 dollars for it back in the day, it really was worth it. Would definately buy another one if it broke or got stolen.

the price is the the thing that is attractive. It's auto function sometimes says the wrong string, but it does give the right result (figure that one). It is good to allow beginners to tune string E1 down to D and it is easy to use. However it is not back lit, the screen can be hard to read in certain lighting conditions and will only handle standard tunings. Not bad, but not great.
