Product Description
It's portable, reliable, and fun to use -- the DB-30 helps musicians take their music to higher levels by offering a set of features that defies its diminutive size. Much more than just a simple timekeeper, this pocket-sized metronome can lay down a variety of rhythm patterns and time feels to practice along with, and it has a few timekeeping tricks up its sleeve as well.

Folks, this does it all. Choosing your tempo is quick and the "tap" feature is huge when making a big time change. It provides both audible (click) and visual (lights and meter) timing cues.
The mute is helpful to quiet it down while still using the visual timing queues and the device retains it's settings when powered down so next time you begin right where you left off.
This device covers various time signatures and I love its ability to sub-divide timing. For example, you can set your main click to 80bpm AND also have a sub-click occurring based upon a fractional note (e.g. eighth, triplets, sixteenth notes, etc.). Very cool!

In teaching myself guitar, I found myself learning the notes and melody but not necessarily being a devotee to keeping accurate time. To realistically gauge my progress, I decided to buy this metronome. It comes highly recommended on various guitar sites like Musician's Friend, Zzound, etc. and having used it, I think the reviews are accurate. You can configure the rhythm, beat AND tempo and with it's compact size, it's more functional than comparable models. The only negative I have is the "beep" tone - as a former violin player, I'm used to the old school "click" sound of traditional wooden metronomes. But then again, I can't clip one of the old wooden metronomes to my music stand, now can I? ;-)
Highly recommend.
Highly recommend.

I have used this metronome for about 2 months. I practice about 2- 3 hours per day, most of this time with a metronome. After about 3 weeks of use, the unit would work well for about 60 minutes then quit and reset it itself to 120 bpm. Once this happened, it would work correctly for only a minute or two then stop and reset back to 120 bpm again. It needed to sit idle for at least an hour before it would work correctly. The replacement given me by the retailer developed this problem after only a week.

junk
First time I used it, I turned the knob to adjust the volume, there was a snap, and now no sound at all. Will go with a korg next time.

Reliable
This is a great metronome. It's very cheap, but also very reliable. I've been using it for over a year now on 1 battery. There's a good amount of features, too.

Emitted pitch is annoying
The metronome features are alright (via the RHYTHM/BEAT button), but the tone that it emits (via the NOTE/PITCH button) is annoying. Read more

I do not have any complaints about Mr. Metronome. It works great! It keep the beat and it is loud enough to hear.

Glitchy or not??
Well, I had the Boss DB-30 for about one year and have been really hard on it. I have dropped it several times, and accidentally have also left it out in the snow for a few days,... Read more
