It's hardly unuseable or anything, but it is a little frustrating. If you are tuning up to pitch, for example, you might have already passed its in tune reading by the time it displays you as in pitch. The Boss has the annoying characteristic of sometimes reading about a half second behind whatever you are doing. The Strobostomp tunes noticeably more accurately than the TU-2, and it gets your guitar in tune more quickly (though there is a little bit of a learning curve with the Strobostomp - for the first week or two it might actually take you longer). Now when you actually do go to tune, again, the TU-2 works, but the StroboStomp works better. With the Strobostomp in line but not in use, your signal will be noticeably (not earthshakingly, but slightly) better than if you had the TU-2 in line. The TU-2 does effect your bypassed sound - it's not bad, but there is some noticeable change compared to guitar to amp. The TU-2 is a good product, but the Peterson is superior. I'm waiting for reviews to sway me before I decide on an HD or another Turbo mini.I have both - get the Strobo if you can afford it. My electric board is waiting for a new Buzz Feiten capable tuner since I moved the Turbo mini to the acoustic board. The ST-122 is constantly being borrowed by our orchestral and string/wind instrument guys, the ST-200 is bolted into the audio rack with the display permanently on, and the mini is on my acoustic nano board. I have the Turbo ST-122, ST-200 and ST-300mini. I'd love to know if note acquisition time has been improved on this new Peterson HD model. I used the Peterson Strobostomp right up until it got nicked, but it was a bit laggy on note acquisition compared to the Turbos, so I replaced it with the ST-300mini when the time came and put the ST-200 in the rack. I've been looking at getting one of these new HD models once the reviews are in: things like battery life, ease of use, note acquisition speed/tracking, startup times, etc. I use the Peterson StroboClip on my acoustic, and had a StroboStomp on my board. And I personally don't mind at all what tuner you sell or use. I'm waiting for reviews to sway me before I decide on the new HD Strobostomp or another Turbo mini. I used the Peterson Strobostomp (original) right up until it got nicked, but it was a bit laggy on note acquisition compared to the Turbos, so I replaced it with the ST-300mini when the time came and put the ST-200 in the rack. I use the Peterson StroboClip on my acoustic, and had a StroboStomp (original model) on my board. You claimed the HD is faster than the Turbo, so you could have responded by explaining what you mean by 'faster' instead of attacking my 'beliefs' like some sort of political statement.
