I've only used the iPhone/iPod app version, but it works quite well, the people I know who have used the pedal really like it.

It's easy to use as a regular tuner--and works well.

The chord tuning takes a little getting used to, but it is handy.

I love it. First off, it's built like a tank...very solid with a small footprint. It's easy to see in any light. I really like strumming and it tells you immediately what strings need tuning. It makes tuning up a quick process. If you are in to alternate tunings, this thing makes it so easy. Has true bypass as well. I love this tuner! I think the price has come down a bit since last year.

as long are your vision is good, it's easy.

i need to wear glasses, and if i have them off while playing, the screen looks a little blurred.

I am also looking for a floor tuner, and yeah it basically comes down to the Polytune and the TU-3. I am leaning toward the TU-3 regardless of the true bypass.

I like it a lot. It starts up way faster than my Boss TU-2. I hate waiting around for that first reading.

Just picked one up and am loving it...although as a geezer it took a bit of reading and testing to figure out how to use it properly :lol:

I do like the whole Poly tuning thing though, much quicker.

Nevin, glad your hearing is that good! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I spent way too many years out around the flight line in the AF and sad to say tinitis and a 25% hearing loss has taken it's toll on my hearing and I really need to rely on a good solid tuner. :( :( :(
