Do not waste your money. I can't believe boss put this junk on the market. My brother in law and myself pruchase at the same time. After a couple of months of use it the settings start reverting back to 120bpm. Also the ear phone jack stopped working and it causes it to revert back to the same beat. Do not waste your money

DB-30: Great Idea, faulty execution

The Boss DB-30 metronome is a nice compact package with a good range of features. Unfortunately, after less than a month of less than strenuous use, mine stopped working. Pressing the Start/Stop button caused it to revert to a tempo of 120 and a 4 beat measure, emit a single chirp, and stop. Removing and re-installing the battery helped for a while, but the condition shortly returned. This is not useful to me, and I see I am not unique in this experience. Too bad; if it kept working, it would be a great product.

Dr. Beat, more like Mr. Break

This metronome started strong. But shortly after it started turning off by itself. Then when you set a bpm and push the start button, it kicks back to 120 bpm. Oh, and boss will fix it for you, for $40 an hour. Just buy the Yamaha Click station and be happy.

accuracy fails with batteries

The Boss DB-30 isn't something I would recommend only because after having it a short duration using it frequently. I began to suspect that it was slowing slightly when used along with my drum machine. I tested it against an online metronome then against a wind-up. Sure enough as the CR2032 battery lost juice, It was slowing barely enough to notice but it got worse and it could mess up your sense of time, when playing without it. I bought a Korg metronome because my Korg tuner rocks, its on the way so I'll see.

I like buying batteries

This metronome has great features for learning different beats. It's pretty easy to use once you figure it out.

The best part is you get to buy lots of batteries for it. If it were not for this feature, I would not recomend it. If you like changing batteries, this metronome is for you!
