5Very, Very Nice!  Dec 16, 2007 By Anthony De Lucia Jr.
Folks, this does it all. Choosing your tempo is quick and the "tap" feature is huge when making a big time change. It provides both audible (click) and visual (lights and meter) timing cues.

The mute is helpful to quiet it down while still using the visual timing queues and the device retains it's settings when powered down so next time you begin right where you left off.

This device covers various time signatures and I love its ability to sub-divide timing. For example, you can set your main click to 80bpm AND also have a sub-click occurring based upon a fractional note (e.g. eighth, triplets, sixteenth notes, etc.). Very cool!

2Longevity not an atribute  Dec 29, 2008 By Penny Smith "Penny"
I bought the "Boss" about a year ago. It arrived quickly and I originally liked it. After only 3 months the thing reset to its default of 120 bpm. No worries, I replaced the batteries and it worked for about another 3 months. Replaced the batteries and the thing refuses to work. All my paperwork is tossed so here I sit with a no good piece of junk, unable to return it. Buyer beware on this one.

4Handy, functional device  Dec 27, 2007 By sonytoao
In teaching myself guitar, I found myself learning the notes and melody but not necessarily being a devotee to keeping accurate time. To realistically gauge my progress, I decided to buy this metronome. It comes highly recommended on various guitar sites like Musician's Friend, Zzound, etc. and having used it, I think the reviews are accurate. You can configure the rhythm, beat AND tempo and with it's compact size, it's more functional than comparable models. The only negative I have is the "beep" tone - as a former violin player, I'm used to the old school "click" sound of traditional wooden metronomes. But then again, I can't clip one of the old wooden metronomes to my music stand, now can I? ;-)

Highly recommend.

1Glitchy!  Apr 01, 2009 By Rick Jemmett
I have used this metronome for about 2 months. I practice about 2- 3 hours per day, most of this time with a metronome. After about 3 weeks of use, the unit would work well for about 60 minutes then quit and reset it itself to 120 bpm. Once this happened, it would work correctly for only a minute or two then stop and reset back to 120 bpm again. It needed to sit idle for at least an hour before it would work correctly. The replacement given me by the retailer developed this problem after only a week.

3Better than my 1st one but still lacking  Jun 29, 2006 By Robert D. Sawyer
I just started to learn drums and I bought a cheapo metronome for $17 and it was fine for about a month, then I needed something to help me keep time with different notes and rhythms and this has just about everything I need for that. Problem is you really cannot hear it to well when practicing so now I have to get some headphones. Even practicing on a pad takes some concentration to hear it. If I had to do it again I would have saved up a little more money and bought the big one. My cheap $17 one is 3 times louder than this and I have no problem hearing it, but that only really does 1/4 notes. All in all it is a nice item but wish it was much louder.
