Guitar Fetish Tuner/Pick-ups.
I just got my GFS - 90 guitar tuner. It works sooooo much better than my Boss. Big blue led's and blue on light. Tracks very accurate. Also got my Vintage Nashville Filtertron p/u's to go in my Ibanez Artcore. Can't wait to hear the improvement! Still waiting to get my Gretsch Pro Jet sigh.....

Make sure you run that pedal through the ringer, and take a backup for a month or so. I had one, and really liked it, until it just stopped working all together on stage. Fortunately I keep a backup in my toolbox. I've heard a lot of good reviews of those, and I love GFS, I've used about a dozen sets of their pickups, and replaced everything but the wood and frets on an LP copy I rebuilt for a friend, but my tuner died in about a month.
I will say that GFS has been really cool about it though. Unfortunately they were out of stock when mine died, so they couldn't replace it, but I'm getting store credit (yay new tele pups!). They have a one year warranty on most of their products, so it was a really no questions asked situation.
Anyway, good luck with it, hopefully I just got a lemon (likely the case).
I had Nashvilles in my 5120 for a while, they sounded good, just not what I was looking for. I would advise however to spring for the coil tap pots when you install them. That gives you an enormous amount of tone options.

I will keep my Boss on hand when we play a gig just in case. Hopefully you just got a lemon.

I think that's probably the case, but as I said, keep a backup around for a month or so.
I had power issues with mine from day 1 though. At first it wouldn't work with a onespot (though it's spec'd to), then I couldn't get a battery to fit the plug in the pedal, then the onespot worked fine, then the whole thing died. I have a feeling there was an issue with the power somewhere along the line. Could have been a loose connection or something, who knows.
Like I said, I liked the pedal, wish I could have gotten a replacement, but the Fender tuner I got seems to be working well too.

Well, it doesn't feel cheap. I have only used it one day. It will have to stand up to a lot of use as tuning is a necessity. Hopefully, it will. If not, back it goes.

I've had mine for well over a year now with no problems, and it is in constant use. I'm very happy with it.
