Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
Very well built. Heavy and solid. Just as a foot pedal should be.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I have not had it long, but I handle it pretty rough and so far so good.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
This tuner pedal is just as good as my TU-2. I bought it for a pedal board I use with my 5 string bass. I saw some reviews that said it was not good for bass but I haven't had any issues. It picks up my low B better than the TU-2.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?

How did the stain or paint job look?
It looks great.

I would hope its the same quality of the DOD units I got back in the 90's.

This is a fancier DOD-Digitec unit and I believe since I have DOD pedals from the early 90's and they still work great I would hope this unit is built to those same standards.

Your general opinion of this product.
Since I purchased my Marshall JMD 1/2 stack from AMS I no longer need the Pod X3 Live and thats was also used as my tuner; so I needed another tuner. I looked through all of the different tuners and it was a tough decision between this and the Boss TU3. After reading all the reviews about the Boss not being a true by-pass I went with this unit. I have had it a few days and one gig later and I am a believer. Love all the options in tuning and its easy to program etc... I love this tuner.

No tone added or subtracted from my guitar; at last a true bypass thats actually a true bypass.

It looks to have the same quality paint jab as the older Boss, DOD and Ibanez pedals from the 80's and 90's. One thing I love for sure is the unit has a huge velcro bottom for those with pedal boards. Nice touch Digitech

How was the action out of the box?
Great action open the box and it did a few back-flips; 5 jumping jacks and a few push ups then sounded like Arnold Schwarzenegger and repeated that famous line, "I'll be back".

Well built American pedal. Love it.

How has it stood up over time?
Haven't had it long enough to find out, but I have the reverb and delay and they are holding well. They are well built and expect them to last.

Overall, I am impressed with all the hardwire that I have. Clean, clear, and robust. Perfect pedal combination.

This was a B-stock. But, I could not find a flaw. I looked though. Its a stomp box. We step on them. Sometimes kick them and such. Its a mute point to me.

Great Tuner - Better than the TU-3!!

Now, I will say that I have owned the TU-3 recently and returned it. Had a lot of features and looked cool, but this Hardwire tuner simply gets the job done and gets it done more accurately and quickly! With the TU-3, I found myself having to re-tune harmonically after tuning to the pedal. I double checked the tuning after tuning to this pedal and BAM! Right on the nose!
Now, I've been playing for 30 years and used all different kinds of tuners and got away from rack gear to go with a pedal board. Don't want to carry a big rack anymore. I've got to say that this is one of the best tuners I've tried to date!

Let's talk controls...just a few buttons to get you set up and make your choices, these are very simple and straight forward the different modes are great and the mute function is priceless with true bypass to boot!
