Les Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 On a lighter note, my tail has arrived Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Dunky Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I was thinking of a comment or witticism to make about this tail, but all I could think about was "pervert.....pervert.....pervert....pervert....pervert". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samhay Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I ordered one of these on the 9th and it arrived this morning. The good - Specs say is is good down to A0 (27 Hz) and it had no problem with my open E string. Tuning seems as accurate as the other cheap-ish clip on tuners I have used. The not-so-good. It has one button - on/off and no obvious way to change the tuning from concert pitch, which is what I assume it is set to. This may not be of concern for most users. The even less-good. It feels pretty cheap and the swivel is not terribly well designed. I would guess this or the battery contact will die at some point. But, it was £2, it showed up, and it works. So I would still call that a bargain. It's at least good enough to be a backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ordep Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Mine arrived today. works ok. not as fast as the snark clip-on that I had before but for 2 quid still a bargain in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Good to hear that people are actually receiving their goods. I still haven't though, predictably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmaxblues Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Mine has arrived today postmarked from Chicago, only had a brief look, but for £2 seems a bargain, but my carbon footprint has taken a battering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I'm hoping mine will be waiting for me when I get home then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 MIne turned up, it lights up in pretty colours when switched on so I'm delighted with it. It's a bonus that it seems to be a perfectly functional tuner as well. I did find the battery cover to be very stiff to remove and it looks incredibly flimsy too. Don't think it'll handle abuse well.

BassBunny Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Mine arrived this morning, which was a surprise as i hadn't had any emails at all informing me of progress. For £2, it's a bargain. Not had a chance to compare against my normal tuner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickeyboro Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I haven't had mine yet, but have had at least nine emails fromReverb on some pretext or another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivansc Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) I think they may have read some of my sarcastic posts here and elsewhere and cancelled the order just to piss me off...... Aha! First reverb email only 12 days after I placed the order. The tuner is with DHL in Chicago... *sigh* Edited September 21, 2016 by ivansc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) All three of mine arrived this morning, had to sign for the package. The build quality isn't as good as my Snark - more plasticky and less rubbery - but overall not too bad. The battery cover is fiddly - FYI to undo it you have to turn it clockwise, which of course goes against years of knowing it should be the opposite. There is only one button - press to switch on, press again to toggle to your instrument of choice, 'B' being the obvious setting. In operation the tuner functions well and is accurate, or at least as accurate as my Snark, my Korg Clip and my FZone tuner pedal. I really like the colour LCD display and the 'clock-hand' pointer, which makes the actual tuning very easy. I also like the clip, which has a very strong spring. Too many clip-ons have weak springs. However I was unable to rotate the display to where I would have liked it (I prefer to mount the tuner behind the headstock), but using the thing on its side is no big hardship. In all I like it and it was definitely worth two quid - as of today anyway, if it suddenly goes tits-up I'll let you know.
