" ... Now compared to some other pedals I have, this doesn't feel like the sturdiest box, so I'll see how it holds up over time, but right not it's a nice little addition to my pedal setup. ... "
" ... It's solid, but you have to have patience cause when you hit a string it takes a second for the note to read. ... "
" ... It's also compact well mrade and nice looking. ... "
" ... Well built (metal, polished edges, no rough spots). ... "
" ... It's on my board now because it takes half the space my Boss does. ... For its compact size and brightness it would be great but when you add the cost it is the best value on my board. ... "
" ... Yellow stands out best. ... I like the small size. ... "
" ... Doesn't take up a lot of space on pedal board. ... "
" ... I eventually disconnected it and the rest of band practice went smooth. ... "

" ... Awesome little pedal, no noise in the sound chain, true mute when tuning, accurate, and just as fast as any other tuner I've used. ... "
" ... Needed a more accurate tuner for my bass so I've decided to order this after watching unboxing reviews. ... "
" ... I use it for my bass. ... "
" ... I tuned my bass with it, then for kicks decided to test it against my Korg and Sabine tuners. ... "
" ... Definitely not the easiest tuner for a bass but it is not described as such (we just have multiple different instruments so thought we would try it). ... "
" ... I already had a Korg Pitchblack, which worked well for guitar but was iffy with my bass. ... After a little online research, I bought this Kliq and am happy to report that it works flawlessly for bass and guitar. ... "
" ... I got it because the other reviews recommended it for bass and I can confirm it works good even on a low b string. ... "
" ... We play small gigs and the room noise alone will mask this sound. ... I would spend the extra $17 for the Pro version if it gets rid of the noise. ... "

" ... On the pedal board, it just looked cheap. ... "
" ... I think it’s just bad manufacturing, cheap materials that make this tuner unreliable. ... "
" ... Then it became inaccurate and inconsistent, the screen started to go out periodically, and by the second month I had it it just shut down completely and stopped working. ... "
" ... You need to repeatedly pluck the strings to get the tuner to register. ... "
" ... It broke already! ... "
" ... Looked like the plastic base of the plunger was cracked into two pieces. ... "
" ... Flimsy plastic footswitch broke after 2 days of light use. ... "

" ... I hardly use this and it failed. ... "
" ... This pedal was fine for 3 months and then just stopped working. ... "
" ... but just under 9 months later (past the returnable date), it is so dim that you can barely see it. ... Way past my pedal stomping days. ... "
" ... The main issue is that the mute function stopped working. ... When I first received this unit - it worked - and it did so for about a week or so. ... "
" ... DOA right out of the box . ... unfortunately I bought it back in February and did not open to use it until a couple weeks back, tuned on, and would not tune or "sense" the string you would pick. ... DO NOT BUY THIS - you will be taking a chance you get a defective device . ... "
