Compared to your typical guitar tuner in normal use, this thing is a pain to use
This thing is kinda cool, a new idea or way of doing something, but also not so easy to use
This thing works great for a cheap strobe tuner.
I really find this thing useful with relative tuning; once I get the low E string in tune, I can use the strobe to check the A string and also visually and audibly compare it to low E at fret 5.

If you need to do non-standard tuning, you'll have to use the strobe against a fretted string; for Drop D tuning, for example, you'll need to fret the low E at 2 and use E6 for comparison.
No need to hear the notes yet be in perfect tune easoer anf faster than other tuners
So if you cant tune close by ear, you wont be able to use this, to fine tune it at all

It works by showing you a pulse on the string, then you tune the string, to slow the pulse down, and stop it completely, to be in perfect tuneThe problem is, if the string is way out of tune, you will not see the pulse at all
