Plays 6-String Acoustic Guitar, 6-String Electric Guitar
First, let me say this works extremely well. I also have a Peterson clip-on pickup, but I prefer this one. I gig with two guitars - an acoustic and an electric - and was not happy with switching the clip from one to the other during a performance. So I made a switch box for my pedalboard that takes the output from the pedalboard and switches either to the amp or my iStrobosoft device.
Now, regardless of which instrument I'm playing, a simple footswitch press sends the instrument to my tuner for some quick touchup, and then back to the amp ready to start the next song. I gave it 4 stars (probably would have given it a 4.8 or 9 if given the chance) because of the length of the cable. Remember, this is plugging into your device with the 1/8" connector on one end - several feet above the floor - and a 1/4" plug attached to a quality (read that as heavy) cable on the other. I haven't had it pull out on its own YET, but just the slightest tug has already proven to separate the cable from the device.
As such, I'm probably going to make up a custom cable using quality, lightweight wire, with an 1/8" jack on one end and a 1/4" jack on the other. Which then will make this purchase redundant. :-/
