VSN Tuner Pedal,Chromatic Guitar Tuner Pedal Fast and Accuate Tuner for High Precision ± 1 Cent with Pitch Indicator for Electric Guitar and Bass True Bypass LT-901

I bought this pedal primarily because of the great price (less than $30 on sale), and secondarily because it's a mini and will fit well into an "all small" board I'm building. Turns out it's a great blues driver clone with a popular Keeley mod. I used it with a Telecaster into a small solid state amp with both clean and overdrive, a Marshall MG30DFX. The value of the pedal alone makes it worth 5 stars.After I set the pedal volume and tone to where they sounded best, I adjusted the gain through different settings. On the clean channel, from lowest gain to about noon, the pedal is a nice clean boost that could be used always on to warm up your sound a bit. From noon to about three, it starts sounding more like a tube amp getting pushed into that nice blues/classic rock tone. From three to five (maximum) it sounds like a low order distortion pedal where it might be good for the song, or a bit too much depending on your preference. So, it's got a nice range of tones possible with just the single center knob.On my amp's built in overdrive channel, the gain knob from low to about three o'clock when engaged actually took away some of the overdrive distortion and lowered the output volume, despite having made no changes to the pedal volume. It effectively cleaned the sound a bit. From three to five, basically the top 20% or so of the gain range, it added a little bit of overdrive which pushed the amp into an ugly solid state distortion tone that would likely sound good only with old hard core punk. I think this result is due to the amp's inherent distortion on overdrive having a greater impact on the tone. Due to this result, I'm going to limit the pedal to clean amps when I experiment further.I looked through some of the other reviews here while I was trying to figure out the fat/normal toggle. Playing chords while on the clean channel while going through the various gain settings, I was hearing subtle changes at best on the tone. I was originally going to give the pedal only 4 stars because I thought this feature was broken. One of the reviews mentioned the possibility of a broken toggle switch that was not affecting tone at all. I too thought that might be the case because no matter whether I flipped from normal to fat, or fat to normal while on the very same chord strum, I just wasn't hearing much difference. That all changed when I hit a single low D. Flipping from normal to fat compresses the sound a bit but emphasizes the low note. Flipping from fat to normal pulls the compression and puts the highs back in. It seemed like the normal mode sounded better with single low notes. Playing DG on string 3 & 4, the fat mode sounds better since it seems to emphasize the mids through the compression. So, looks like all the features are working well.I have high hopes for this pedal with my Fender tube amps, primarily the Delta Blues, and the Blues Jr. I suspect it will play very well with them. I'm looking forward to further exploring. I have no problem highly recommending this pedal to anyone. I'm going to look into other stuff from this manufacturer because it is a fantastic value.

Great little tuner, it gets the low B of a 5 string bass. I'm impressed. Great price, fast shipping and it's easy to use

I wouldn't call this a top of the line noise gate, but once you learn how to set it your excess noise levels will be reduced. I read a lot of people complaining about losing high end, I encountered that and found ways around that. 1. Use shorter better cables, the better quality cables also produce less noise. 2. Use the soft gate, it does help sustain your tone and keeps your high end intact more. 3. Use the hard gate of you're doing rhythm guitar, it will really clean up your sound. Is this a Boss NS2 or an ISP Decimator? No, but then again you pay far more for those products. This isn't as good, but it works for my purposes.

Great for traditional Rock and Country music, has wide range of depth and speed. It does't have the weird settings that I don't need, I have other types of modulation pedals that can do that. Because of its mini size I was able to squeeze it onto my board. This pedal comes out of the same Chinese factory under different brand names, but this one seems to have the lowest price.,

Overall, this seems to be a decent tuner pedal for a nice price. It works as expected, makes tuning easy, cuts off cleanly, and sounds good when in bypass. However, I can only give it 3 stars because the LEDs are way too darn intense. I saw other reviews saying the LEDs were too bright and figured "how bad can they be?" Well, it turns out the two red LEDs are literally blinding. You can't look at the pedal when they're on. The green LED is less intense but still brighter than it needs to be. I ended up putting a couple little pieces of blue painter's tape over the two red LEDs - they were still too bright even with the tape over them, but roughly equal to the green LED. So I put another piece of tape over all three LEDs, such that the red ones now have two layers of tape over them! All three LEDs are easily visible through the tape and are now just about the right intensity. It blows my mind that the designers could get a simple thing like LED brightness so wildly wrong, when the rest of the product seems well made. (I considered disassembling the pedal to see if I could swap in different resistors to tone down the LEDs, but the rubber feet are glued in place over the screws that hold the case together, so I decided to live with my tape fix.)

Reasonably priced, tremolo pedal. Works as advertised. I've gigged it, no issues.

I used it a couple times and now the display doesn’t work. And I didn’t even get the gig with it. I just used it at home.

For $30 bucks I wasn't expecting much. Damn I love when I'm surprised! It has a little hiss, could be my power supply. Tried this through the fx return on a blackstar debut 50r with a firefly 338. On the neck pickup it hums like a lullaby. Has plenty of grit on tap. I put a joyo hot plexi in front of it to push and man it was nice. I would be kind of pissed if I lost this pedal but for the price i’d just get another. Shipping was quick as always. Can't say much about the durability of it. I'll try to come back and update in a few months. This will definitely stay on my board.
