Title: Metronome recommendations?
Post by: SRChrono on December 25, 2009, 04:09:25 AM: Mine just broke. I know this isn't a guitar, amp, or effect but... any advice? I want a really good one that is durable and has sub- divisions and a tuner would be nice but not necessary. I just can't seem to find one... so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Its great.

Carefull with others - check the max tempo, make sure it goes up to something sensible like 300bpm (a lot top out at 180, 200, 210, 220, 230, that sort of area, which is terribly frustratating).
