Subject:	Seems great to me...
Quality:	Before buying this tuner I read lots of reviews on various makes and models. This pedal seemed to get several disparaging remarks that didn't seem justified. Now that I have it, have looked it over and used it, I believe this to be a quality product at an extremely reasonable price - virtually half that of the competition. The case is metal, the switch seems firm and the parts substantial. The plastic LED read out is bright, cool to look at, and built no less solid than pedals that would have plastic knobs at the same position.
Reliability:	Seems like it should be reliable.
Overall:	I see nothing wrong with this product. I have been playing music for over forty years and am also a electronics technician.
Playability and Feel:	I do also wonder about people who are overly picky (read snobish) about tuning. Do they realize that tuning itself is ALWAYS a compromise proposition - people who tune for a living have know this since before Equal Temperament was invented replacing things like Werkmeister and Kirnberger, etc. It is impossible to divide 12 tones evenly between an octave and have the 4th & 5ths fall accurately (it's mathematics). I do doubt that any normally human guitar player is going to be able to detect any discrepancies in this tuner over more expensive ones, nor do I believe the normal guitar stays in that precise of tuning for very long if that same person could achieve it. This tuner is more than adequate.
