When I'm playing at home, I play with a Peavey Vypyr amp. Those amps have terrible tuners. Never seems to pick up the correct note on my guitar. This tuner is much better. Easy configuration, you can set it for guitar or chomatic or flat steps down, etc. The interface is super easy to read. I personally like the style where it looks like the LEDs are spinning right/left for sharp/flat, but they have the standard off from center tuning that most tuners use. All in all, this is a great tuner pedal, and I'm very happy with it. It does what it does very well.
The thing I really like about this tuner is that there is an output and a bypass. Output gets cut when the pedal is active. If you are playing live, this is the one you will want to use. Bypass never gets cut. It's great for at home or if you are tuning somebody else to your instrument. But there's another awesome use for it; you can use it as a splitter and run your signal through 2 amps. This is fantastic for recording. Setting one amp up for the low end and another amp up for the high end and then mixing them together in the studio software makes for a very full sounding recording. If you want to run the same effects, put the tuner last, if you want to run different effects, put the tuner first.

Choice of two display modes to let you know if your in tune!
Everything I read says you have to have a tuner pedal on your board. So I picked this one based on other reviews. I'm a beginner intermediate player, but I understand the value of being in tune, and the aggravation you feel when what your playing just doesnt sound right. Just plug your guitar cord into the pedal and you can get yourself tuned up to exactly where your supposed to be within a minute or two... depending on the quality of the guitar and your string tuners.I have no compalint other than my $19.00 metronome and SPARK amp have tuner capabilities included. However not quite to the exact precision of the BOSS TU-3. This also has a bright display mode which can even be seen in daylight, and modes for step up and down tuning, as well as a stop scrolling lights which stop when your string is in tune, or a green light which lets you know when your in tune. If your serious about playing guitar, and you have the extra money to set out, don't hesitate. You won't be sorry.
