Metronome recommendations?
« 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!

I really like the look of the Boss DB30.



Seems to have everything you need.

For a very simple but durable one



I got one of these in black. Had it for years.

if you don't need the portability I use a software one called weird metronome and it's free :D

I also use weird met.

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).

just got my hands on a 10 year old knackered hifi, the aux/line in and the speakers still work, so I've been using it with weird metronome :D

Interestingly, Weird Metronome is apparently available on a Windows Mobile device - potentially very cool...
