i recently switched - strike that - UPGRADED from the TU-2 (which i have had for 8 years now) to the Sonic Research Turbo Tuner. Why is it an upgrade?

- true bypass (i know many think this is a myth, but i A/B'ed them yesterday, the difference was noticeable to all in the room)
- +/- .02!!! it sounds like small change, but that's 33% more accurate than anything but the Petersen (which is also +/- .02 and, in my IMHO, not as sturdy)
- picks up the signal off of my guitar IMMEDIATELY (as opposed to the delay from my old TU-2)

while it doesn't fall under the $100 price limit of this thread's title, $129.95 was well worth the difference when considering how much of an upgrade it is.
