I work as a session guitarist and guitar instructor and I have quite a bit of gear and if I don't have it, I've most likely have owned it at one point in time. On a trip to NY, I wanted to get something for me to practice with in my hotel room with headphones or w/o.

The tuner works as it should, and it weighs as much as my alarm clock. As a matter of fact, some people thought it was my radio alarm clock! The stock song files are very good quality too...
The only small negative thing that I can say about this is the stock speakers aren't the best, but if you plug it into your headphones or a PA system, it rocks! Out of 5, I give this 4.7 stars. Highly recommend this product to anyone looking to either work out melodies/solos, or have a virtual band to play with. close [-]
