• Dual power jacks allow the ability to power other pedals with optional power supply
  

Cons:

• Eats batteries (so be sure to unplug input cable at end of use!)

My take on it all:
This is something I picked up when I went to a guitar center with my cousin. I have been meaning to pick up a dedicated pedal as my Yamaha Magicstomp was not accurate eough. Long story short, this thing has a TON of features and tunes your guitar or bass really fast and accurate. I think it's a great product. I did think my unit was defective after running through 2 9v batteries in 2 days, but turns out the manual says it's still running unless the input cable is unplugged! ....so yea, be sure you unplug that unless you run off of 9v outlet power like I just ordered.
Overall, a great product and much improoved over the TU-2 unit, and I'd highly suggest buying it.

Video review soon to come!
