Anyone ever seen or used this? Looks like fiction, but I'd be interested to see if it works.

i played with one at B-Sharp awhile back. terribly frustrating, and you need to be in the dark ot see it.

gimme a TU-2 anyday.

and that's twice what i'd pay for a bulletproof tank of a tuner, usable anywhere, anytime, anysqueech.

(but i actually paid $40 brand new....)

bottom line is, you get what you pay for.

pay for cheap, get the cheap. when it comes to live gigs, you WANT to be in tune when it's time to play....

and your avatar is my new favorite. congrats.

Jeff wrote:$40.00 is a killer price. Cheapest on Ebay is like $55.00 used...

that's a "know a guy that was in your wedding that happens to have an extra one that he dosent need brand new in the box and needs a few extra bucks" price....

....but $55 used is still good. it's a good tuner. if i lost mine, i'd pay $99 for a new one in a heartbeat.

I was thinking about a rack-mount tuner at one point... Then I got a TU-2. When it dies, I'll gladly pay whatever price for another one. Only thing it doesn't do is the Buzz Feiten setup mode, but since I don't play an MTD bass (or other Buzz set up instrument) this is of no matter to me.

I bought a TU-2 (for around 60 bucks) and it's hands down the best pedal I have ever bought.
