Cherub Intonation Trainer Review

The product comes with the most important accessories (earbud, contact microphone) and has a very easy to understand interface. The functions are all very useful and the built in speaker is loud and very clear (volume adjustable). It has a better built in metronome than I've used on some stand alone metronome units. As for the pitch training function it was intended for, it has positives and negatives...
The pitch recognition and playback does actually work as described most of the time. However, you have to be very close to the pitch for it to play the correct pitch back, which is odd since you can see on screen that it definitely recognizes what note it hears you being closest to. So it doesn't help much more than a standard digital tuner if your intonation is significantly off (as mine sometimes is) and is best suited for fine tuning an already good sense of pitch/finger position. Another problem though is that, at least with the violin, it picks up a lot of overtones and sometimes treats those as the recognized pitch. So for instance you might be playing an open D but the tuner is playing back a high G or A to you. The speed of response in pitch recognition varies a lot. Occasionally it will respond wonderfully quick, giving you a note almost simultaneously with your attack...other times it seems to take a few seconds to respond. I'm not sure what factors are causing this for me, it could be other variables such as ambient noise, etc.
I give this 4 stars instead of 3 for the number of helpful functions this has in one unit. For the price it's actually very handy and a good value for beginner players.

This Device will help your Learn to play in tune! You play a note and you will see if you sharp or flat and when you are in tune it plays the in tune note so you can hear what the corrcet pitch sounds like. This would be very helpful to horn players, string instruments ,woodwinds and any other instrument is hard to play in tune.It's also a great metronome ,tuner and tone genrator. The metronome has real voice counting this a great feature! It's nice to hear one two three four instead of click beep beep beep this feature makes it easier to hear where you are in the measure. Inputs for guitar and an out. Comes with instrument contact pickup and ear phone for quiet practice.

I rarely write reviews on anything and the only reason why I am writing this is because I feel the need to give recognition for all this pedal has brought me. I would refuse to play guitar without it, its that simple. you can pretty much create any sound you want and i would consider the whammy pedal just as important as my guitar. its easy to use, and extremely worth it, dont second guess here, put up the money trust me its worth it. Ive been playing with it for over a year now and even if all I had was $200 to my name, id still spend every last penny on this pedal.

The DigiTech Whammy is the upgraded reincarnation of one of DigiTech's most popular pedals. It's been almost a decade since DigiTech introduced the revolutionary, original WH-1 Whammy pedal. It has become one of the most sought after, most expensive pedals on the auction and used markets. Y2K brings the return of the original Whammy with the same metal construction and rotary controls, the same presets, smooth pitch bending and harmony effects - everything . But it doesn't stop there. After perfectly recreating the original, DigiTech added MIDI control and a new Dive Bomb effect. Dive Bomb sounds like you bottomed out a Floyd Rose to the point where the strings slap against the frets and pickups. Power supply included. DigiTech Whammy Pedal Features Original Whammy performance Original Whammy presets New Dive Bomb effect Rugged new industrial chassis design LED indicated Display Preset selection MIDI In for remote control Wet-Dry outputs Power supply included Every feature of the original WH-1 has been included in the new Whammy; From the rotary preset selection knob, to the Ferrari red color; From the mechanical momentary switch, to the exact same interval selections. However, the new Whammy has added the versatility of MIDI control making this timeless effect flexible enough for any situation. The new Dive Bomb Preset gives the effect of a Floyd Rose whammy bar pushed all the way to the body of the guitar, and 16 LEDs provide a visual indication of your Preset selection even on dimly lit stages.
