Product Experience I own it

There is a quarter-inch input and an output, but is it a pedal? No, so you'll have to put it on top of your amp and string your patch cord up to use it. Careful, it might fall off your amp if you pull accidentally.
Does it tune a low-B string on a bass effectively? No.
Is there a microphone, like all other non-pedal tuners? No, you can't use it for an acoustic instrument without the instrument having a pickup.
Are the buttons good quality? No, you can't tell it the power button has been pressed hard enough to power it on, and the power button can easily get accidentally pressed when it's in your instrument case.
Is the display bright enough to see clearly in sunlight. No, it is hard to see.
Does it focus on pitches well? NO. NO IT DOESN'T.
