SPOTLIGHT REVIEW

Sound: I give it a 10 because it has true hard bypass so in terms of sound it does not effect it at all, you can't find that in another pedal in this price range. Feature: Another 10! Daisy chain 9v ability, plus the display is SUPER bright and easy to read from several feet away on stage if need be. I cannot think of a way to make it better. Ease of Use: It's a pedal tuner, so it's very straighforward to use. There are some more advanced functions but the manual is clear and there's only a few buttons, didn't take much getting used to. Quality: It weighs a ton and is made from a die cast housing so no need to worry about it being gig worthy, it's a brick... Value: there is no other pedal tuner in this price range with these features or quality, I am extremely happy with my purchase and I have owned other competing pedal tuners, they were fine but this is actually a TUNER i am EXCITED about! Manufacturer Support: Not needed The Wow Factor: I never thought I would like a tuner so much, but it rocks. Overall: THe rest says it all, my favorite tuner it's a no brainer for the money also.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW

Sound: Hard bypass if you need it - very quiet straight through. Feature: Three modes - sweep, strobe and user-calibration. Simple, functional and incredibly rugged. Ease of Use: Bypass for no influence at all, but I can't hear the difference straight through with my setup, and the mute function is most useful. Quality: Built like a brick. Value: Excellent value. Manufacturer Support: No issues, no problems. Can't really say how their support is - doubt I'll ever need them. The Wow Factor: Very pretty, large and easy to read display. It makes sense right out of the box without any learning curve and is incredibly stable with my acoustic, which usually presents a challenge to tuners. Overall: I can't imagine needing another tuner. If it died - which probably won't happen in my lifetime, I'd replace it.

Overall: I've used many tuners over the years, and this one is my favorite. It works equally well for guitar and bass. It has a large display that's easy to read. Most importantly it locks in fast and tracks well -- that's critical for a stage tuner for those quick checks between songs.

Feature: Very well built...no plstic junk here! Ease of Use: Easy to use and easy to see. Overall: Well worth the higher price. If you're going to sink 50 bucks into a tuner, you'd be better off add another 20 and getting something that will last and will have value.

Sound: I have this between my guitar and amp input. My other pedals go through the effects loop. As far as I can tell this pedal doesn't alter my guitar's tone. Feature: I love the large LED display. It has the largest display of all the pedal tuners I've seen. Nice to have the strobe feature. I used to use a strobe tuner at school when I played the violin a looong time ago and a strobe tuner is the best. With my guitar I use the sweep mode and it tracks really well...even the low E string. Very accurate! Ease of Use: Very easy to use. Plug in your guitar on the right side and plug the pedal into your amp. Two outputs...one with sound and one muted. Battery compartment is easy to open, but I use an AC adapter. Quality: Very solid. This pedal is heavier than it looks and the picture doesn't do it justice. It has a chrome dark gun metal gray finish that looks really cool. Value: You may think it's a little pricey but it's worth it. After all you can't have an out of tune guitar! Whether you're a pro or hobbyist the tuner pedal is the most used pedal. It's just good habit to check your guitar's tuning before every practice session right? Get a good tuner and one that will last. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had any issues with the pedal, so I haven't had to call or write the company. The Wow Factor: The rotary display, the strobe and the gun metal finish are all cool. Overall: The only other tuner pedal I'd consider is maybe the Korg, but if this Planet Waves tuner pedal was lost or stolen it would be an easy decision to get another.
