It’s a tuner.
I’ve had this pedal for a few years now and it’s held up incredibly well! The display is large and easy to see. Every once in a while something will mess up with the power and it acts weird, making an odd noise, but unplugging and plugging it back in fixed it.
Efficient
Very good tuner, very easy to read. However, if I had the choice today, I'd take the WalrusAudio Canvas Tuner.
Great Kill Switch
On my board it works as a kill switch. It broke down in 8 months. not recommended as a tuner, highly recommended as a kill switch.
