Ease of Use: The TU300 from Behringer is a very simple to use tuner pedal. The unit comes with a manual although I doubt anyone will need it. It has 7 different tuning modes, including Regular, Flat, Double Flat and Chromatic mode. There is also a separate section for the flat and double flat modes for guitar and bass. I have used this with both guitar and bass and it works great for both. // 10

Sound: I own a few different Ibanez guitars and a Peavey Windsor; for bass I own a Cort, Rogue, and a Dean with a Genz Benz amp. This pedal is fairly quiet, especially in the switching. However, once the note is registered, I notice a subtle hum especially when I'm playing on the Windsor. Nothing that is enough to offset the deal that I got on the pedal. // 10

Reliability & Durability: I've used this many times on gigs without a backup. One thing I've read on the web is that Behringer pedals are hell on batteries, but I use a One Sport adapter system so I don't have to worry about it. Also, the pedal is made from plastic. I don't think this will be a problem for anybody because unless you intend to throw this pedal around it should stand up for awhile. I keep mine in my pedalboard road-case so mine is still in great shape, even after a couple years of use. // 10

Impression: I play rock and metal, but this pedal will work for any genre, bass or guitar. I would definitely buy this tuner pedal again if something happened to this one, especially at the price. I mean, a tuner is a tuner. For only paying $15 Brand New, and having it for 2 years and it's still going strong is enough for me to recommend it. // 10

Ease of Use: This is the upgraded version of the TU100 tuner pedal that Behringer makes. It has 7 different tuning modes: chromatic, guitar, guitar flat, guitar double flat, bass, bass flat, and bass double flat. Very easy pedal to use for both guitar and bass, and the flat and double flat modes make it easy to tune down to alternate tunings. It also has a bypass output jack. // 10

Sound: I use this pedal in my guitar and bass rigs with no problems in either one. The pedal is noise free and very bright so you can see it very good in the dark. There is a digital display that displays the note/string and a light on either side to indicate sharp/flat. // 10

Reliability & Durability: As with all the other Behringer pedals I own, this one has proven to be worth the money. I haven't had any problems with this pedal and it is very reliable. Most people talk down on Behringer because of their plastic construction, but don't be fooled, these pedals are very well-built and strong. // 10

Impression: If this pedal were lost or stolen, I would definitely buy another one just like it to replace it. For the budget guitarist, Behringer stomp boxes are the way to go. Low price does not mean low quality. I really like the chromatic tuner mode. You can use that mode to tune to any tuning lower than a whole step down, becasue the pedal only has a built-in mode for a whole step down. // 10

do you have the guitar plugged into it? some of my pedals don't turn on until i plug my guitar into it.

Btw, this is exactly the same as the TU100, but costs more and has a blue led (Behringer wanted to make their prices higher...)

[fat chicken]

do you think i should get a tu100 or 300? i can't see much difference in them really, just like above ^^^^ :d

Just curious, what is double flat?

[schecter-omen6]

double flat is two semitones i.e if you put it in double flat then it will tune your e to d its for putting your guitar into d tuning good for if you play in a metal band

[Quarbon]

you have to use a pen to take the stomp portion of the pedal of to access the battery...there are push pins on either side of the pedal.
