decent tuner but.......
2006 - I have had this tuner for about a year. As far as the job it does as a tuner, it works great. Perfect tuning as far as my ears can tell and the meter doesn't jump around like many other tuners I have had. Fairly bright display that can be easily seen. That's the good news. Now the bad. My complaint is one of harware. The pedal body is made of nice strong aluminum and is really solid. The pedal portion that you step on is cheap plastic and mine pops out of the pedal almost evertime I step on it. I have relagated this pedal for home use only. On stage use is not practical. You will spend time bent over putting the plastic pedal piece back into the pedal block amost everytime you use it.

Decent Pedal Tuner
After owning tuners by other brands; such as Planet Waves, Korg, and Seiko; I picked up a Fender PT-100 Pedal Tuner to use with my new bass. Upon first glance, it seems quite rugged with a nice wide footprint. Looking closer, its casing is made out of rugged plastic. Although it's built well, plastic is no substitute for metal. Additionally, the battery compartment is slow-access, and allows the battery to rattle around inside. In use, this tuner is very accurate and visible, and the option of being either mute or live while tuning is quite useful. Although this tuner pedal is much better and more durable than the Boss TU-2, the Planet Waves CT04 is a far superior choice for a pedal tuner. Budget-wise, however, the Fender PT-100 is fine; and I would still recommend it.

excellent pedal tuner
i've been using this pedal for 10+ live shows already and it works like a charm. has a second jack on the right so you can mute your guitar's signal when you press it down. very discrete feature, which is necessary live. compared to the Boss TU-2, I think this is MUCH easier to use. Although it's slightly more work to get the battery out (you can even use a pick as a flathead screwdriver) and it's not constructed quite as well as the Boss, it performs much better. I only had to retighten the jacks once, but I think it's because they have rubber o-rings. It also has a great LED display with 2 colors, yes ONLY 2. Anymore colors than that, and you're just confusing people (i.e. Boss TU-2) Blue, you aren't in tune, Red you are and its simple and easy to use. It's also very accurate and it isn't trying to get you're tuning down to the very minute twist of a peg. A great buy at $40 too I might add, plus they've added new colors to choose from. Why not make it fun, after all, it is just a tuner, but make it individual, so nice job Fender as usual.

Excellant Live
The key to this tuner is that it adds no noise to your system and does not pop through the PA when you use the mute feature. It also is a good point to change your guitar without noise during a show when the unit is muted. The LED's don't bouce around much, so it is easy to tune live. The unit is heave enough to stay put during live shows.

Perfectly priced tuner
This tuner is great for anyone who wants a pedal tuner for gigs and practices, but can't afford the boss tuner pedal. This one works just as well and is priced perfectly. The display is nice and bright for you to read when your in the dark or don't have sufficient light. I would reccomend this to anyone on a tight budget.

Great tuner for the money....
This tuner is great for the money, I've looked into just about all of them out there, but this one works great. The housing looks durable, and the lights are nice and bright(no bouncing around) but the pedal is made of plastic which pops out every so often & it's not hard to pop back in place. Bottom line if you can deal with that pesky pedal popping out every so often, then buy this tuner...

Don't Know why anybody would give this a bad review
Great tuner, simply said, it does its job, it will enable you to tune your guitar. Its basic, you step on it and away you go with your tuning, its made solid, and is compact, which is great bc it wont take up room on your pedal board. Best part is is that it tunes extremely well, and is much cheaper than any of the rack mount tuners or even the Boss pedal tuner. Have had no problems with it and use it just about every time i play.

You get what you pay for....
This unit worked well for about 6 months of light use, although the pedal is a cheap plastic. After 6 months it started sucking the juice out of batteries like a vampire and a 9V AC adapter could not be found to supplement the power requirements. Fender doesn't make one, Planet Waves didn't have one, and the guitar stores didn't have one. I would recommend a Boss TU-2 or a Korg PitchBlack equally. They are twice as much money but you get what you pay for. Good Luck!

outstanding tuner
very easy to use. has two outputs, one which passes the signal only when the tuner is off, and one which always passes the signal. i've only used it with a guitar in standard tuning, but it will tune to any note. the blue and red LEDs and note display are very bright and will serve you well in darkness or under bright lights. the only feature it lacks is the option to calibrate to an alternate frequency -- you are limited to A=440 with this tuner.

really kool
The PT-100 was really good for the money. This is probably the best tuner you can buy for this cost.
