Terrible. Casing is brittle-feeling plastic. Tracking is abominable and
there is very little precision. Eats batteries. Mic cannot be disabled,
it seems. "True bypass" isn't, and one can hear it quite easily. LEDs
are quite bright with the AC adapter plugged in.
Cheap, but a Sabine pedal tuner is a much better unit with a better bypass
circuit. Save your money and keep the tuner you have right now, as it's
probably a better unit.
