Not so good... Aug 16, 2008
This unit is a servicable tuner, and metronome, but you can do better in both departments for sure.

I find it useless for acoustic guitars if there is any background noise. Even just a TV on with normal volume nearby seems to prevent it from getting a clean read.

The metronome is annoying because of the lack of volume, and the fact that it's plays an electronic tone instead of clicks. Not a good idea.

Metronomes should click..

click click click click....

No volume controller Jul 27, 2007
This would be a great product if there was some way to increase the volume. It's very hard to hear which makes it not very useful for the purpose intended. Next time I will do more research before I purchase.

Average tuner, useless metronome Mar 15, 2007
The tuning capability is only mediocre; the "Accu-Pitch" function might better be sold as "Approxi-Pitch." When I check my 2 TU-80 tuners against a high-end one, I find that the Accu-Pitch beep can sound as much as 5 cents out of tune, which is bad enough so that I have to retune.

As far as the metronome goes, as other reviewers have noted, it's just not loud enough to be anything but a toy. Too bad, too - there was an opportunity to send the metronome signal out of the output jack, so that it could have driven an earphone, or could have been fed into a mixer, which was a choice that Boss itself made in its much-superior DB-12 metronome, but absent that feature, this metronome can't be used as an aid for practicing any real-world instrument.

Good as a tuner, but not as a metronome Jun 23, 2006
I like the accuracy of the tuner, and it "hears" my acoustic guitar quite well if I put it on the music stand so that it's angled toward me. As a metronome, however, it leaves much to be desired: (1) the volume is not adjustable and I consider it not loud enough, (2) it makes a cheesy electronic chirp instead of a mechanical-sounding knock as some of the electronic metronomes can, and (3) the rhythm is "dotted," i.e., it puts a milder electronic chirp in between the "main chirps" and there's no way to turn it off (but this can be somewhat remedied by setting it to 1-4 time).

Doesn't work with background noise. Jun 08, 2006
Works great in a quiet room. When I used it at a performance at a pub the ambient noise renders the tuner useless. Even with a plug-in clip-on mic on the instrument it did not register the note reliably. When this happened I would borrow a Yamaha TD-10 from my guitarist which worked great w/o a plug-in mic. I've since sold the TD-10 and bought a new Yamaha TD-10, which is sadly discontinued.
