  • I now own two!!!
Style: DB-30
I've tries other less expensive metronomes and returned them. This one cost a bit more than I would have likes to pay less but worth having the reliability!!!

  • This one is my favorite from now on
Style: DB-30
I have tried different metronomes before, but none of them as convenient as this one. Traditional is fragile and bulky, digital gave me terribly sharp and loud, disturbing sound, I did not like metronomes until I got this one, now I am happy to exercise using this metronome, it is so light, handy, does not take much place, easy to use, gives very soft and easy adjustable sound, so people in next room are not disturbed with my workouts and it is pretty advanced device, it gives different rhythmic patterns, it uses lights indicating strong beat and arrow on monitor, so it may be used even without sound, good range of tempos, can be used as tuner ant has more functions, which I do not even use. It has small size, so it can be always with me and I really love this metronome. ... show more

  • Very Good Metronome With Nice Features
Style: DB-90
I play guitar and I bought this for groove training purposes. It has four voices for the metronome and several drum beats to choose from. The first three metronome voices are various clicks, the fourth is a voice counting out the beats. The click sounds are all fine and are loud enough for playing an acoustic or turned down electric to. If I want to crank it up there's a headphone out that I can run into the amp. The voice count seemed a bit hokey to me at first, until I was trying to learn a solo with a long break before coming back in on an off beat. The voice count was super helpful for coming back in at the right place. It has an accent beat that comes in at the top of a measure, a quarter note beat, an eight note beat, a sixteenth note beat, and a triplet. The volume for each can be set with the sliders on the front panel. You can use those volumes to dial in exactly what you need for training. Things I do with it are turn up the accent and the quarter note beat full and the eighth note to half for most practices. I turn the accent and the eighth notes on (leaving the quarter note mute) so that only the up beat is audible, which is great for practicing improvisational soloing and improving your groove. The triplet beat is very handy for practicing music that shuffles or swings. There are quite a few drum beats you can use as well. The drum sounds are not great, suitable for practice only or jamming with friends. Most of them are strait four (or eight or sixteen) beat and there are several shuffle beats. The only three four beat is Waltz, would be nice to have a few more options than that. It has onboard memory and you can store settings. If you set the metronome up for a specific song, it can be recalled easily. The kick stand leaves a bit to be desired. It's made of very thin plastic and feels fragile. I feel like I have to be very careful not to break it, having the metronome up at an angle is important to me when practicing. All in all I would recommend this to any guitar player who's looking for a metronome that goes up and above the standard quarter note clicking. It's extra features have come in very handy in practicing various songs and working on specific techniques. It has become a staple in my practicing. ... show more

  • One Metronome to Rule Them All
Style: DB-90
I’ve been through all the metronomes: apps, mechanical ones, stand-alone electronic ones, etc… I finally but the bullet and ordered this one and I think I’m done: this is the best one, by a mile. I love that I can easily adjust the accents of beats, or switch to more complicated patterns. I also love the fact that I can plug my guitar in to it and practice quietly with headphones, using the amp simulator. And it’s all so easy to use. I can’t think of anything more I’d want in a metronome, and I know I have only used a fraction of its capabilities. The only thing that isn’t cool is the little stand is about as flimsy as can be and so I had to prop it up on a music stand. Anyway, highly recommend: it was worth the money. ... show more

  • An awesome upgrade from the Boss DB-88!
Style: DB-90
I have been using the Boss DB-88 metronome previously. I used that model since 1999 when I was in my high school drum line. It was a great metronome to use in a drum line as well as playing a drum set. I eventually bought my own in 2003. The DB-90 has been out for a while now - I remember wanting to get it as soon as it came out, but I figured I'd wait until my good old DB-88 stopped working. Unfortunately, that time as come (after using my own for nearly 9 years!!!) The DB-90 is packed with SO MANY more features compared to the DB-88. I won't get into them all here since you can find them in the production description. I'll just say that the biggest upgrade for me going from the DB-88 to the DB-90 is the amount of memory slots you get. I have been used to only having 8 slots for so long. I was always struggling to figure out which times to delete from the metronome when I needed more room. Luckily, the DB-90 comes with 50 memory slots! I no longer need to decide which times to get rid of, because I have WAY more than enough room to save all of the times that I need! All-in-all, this metronome is a great replacement for the DB-88. I am extremely satisfied. To anyone who is looking for a metronome that will help you grow your skills, this is definitely the one. It has a great range of features that can help basic to the even most advanced players progress with playing to a click. I don't think any other metronome is as good as this... Boss knows has to produce perhaps one of the (if not, best) metronomes in the industry. I have been playing drums for 19 years to date, and I cannot recommend any other metronome as much as this one. My vote: BUY IT - You will not be disappointed! ... show more

  • Free's up my cell phone
Style: DB-30
I love this metronome. I was not happy with the metronome apps on my phone. This metronome is a breeze to use. The size makes it convenient to take with me. I can easily and quickly change the settings. The clip on the back is a great feature. I highly recommend this metronome.
