BOSS DB-30 Dr. Beat Portable Metronome in Black - Keep Time with Professional Accuracy!

plutot sanchez: The media could not be loaded.  Nickel, joli son, facile à régler. Le petit plus eut été une mémoire des réglages. Sinon il est très mignon et fonctionnel, à l'air solide. Il y a un deuxième truc qui m'ennuie : les piles, non rechargeables (petites piles plates) ce qui mevpose un souci au niveau écologique....

john magee: Generally this product is really good. It has a solid feel and sensible, intuitive controls - good solid click - The best metronome I've used to date.

Damiano: Gran bel metronomo, non da principianti, con una selezione di tempi e bpm e accordatore. Davvero utile per tutti gli strumentisti che hanno bisogno di esercitarsi con il click.

Cliente Amazon: Estetica accattivante e molto funzionale. Uscita per cuffie con volume (lo stesso regola l’altoparlante on board). Tante funzioni che io tra l’altro, non uso. Comoda clip per la cinta. Prezzo giusto.

Donald E. Meyer: I'm learning acoustic guitar and I started with a metronome app on my iPad. I wanted something more portable so I bought the Boss DB-30 based on reviews. It was like going from my digital TV back to my old black and white TV. The app has a color screen and a set of clickable menus for changing the sound, the colors and the rhythms. The DB-30 has a black LED screen (with no backing lighting) and buttons to cycle through options.
PROS:
Small size and light weight. Sound is NOT annoying and is not very loud even with the volume control knob all the way up. (The maybe because the battery is weak. The Owner's Manual says the factory installed battery was for testing purposes only and its life may be limited. It uses a CR2032 button battery not AAA's which contributes to its lightweight.) It has a slot in the bottom for a coin which stand it up on a surface and makes it look cool and a clip on the top for a music stand. It does the basic job.
CONS:
The speaker outlet is in the back which muffles the click. The click is not changeable. The cover over the battery has a miniature screw which necessitates a miniature screwdriver to remove. The DB-30 has an A reference tone but...

Indeed: I’ve been through all the metronomes: apps, mechanical ones, stand-alone electronic ones, etc… I finally but the bullet and ordered this one and I think I’m done: this is the best one, by a mile. I love that I can easily adjust the accents of beats, or switch to more complicated patterns. I also love the fact that I can plug my guitar in to it and practice quietly with headphones, using the amp simulator. And it’s all so easy to use. I can’t think of anything more I’d want in a metronome, and I know I have only used a fraction of its capabilities. The only thing that isn’t cool is the little stand is about as flimsy as can be and so I had to prop it up on a music stand. Anyway, highly recommend: it was worth the money.

Amazon Customer: The DB30 is a fairly good metronome with most of the basic features you would expect, plus a few more that are useful.. It has two tones, such that you can keep track of measures as well as the beat. There is a good selection of time signatures. There are also two visual ways to keep track of the rhythm, which is helpful. The volume is adequate for solo players (I measured 74 db for the loudest tone), but it could get drowned out with piano or group playing. The unit uses a 3V battery, perhaps a change from previous models. Previous reviews have complained about a flimsy stand to keep it upright. The current model has no stand, but instead, a slot in which to insert a coin, in hopes that it will stay vertical, which is not a great solution. The makers have added a clip in case you want to wear the DB-30 on your belt, which seems like a weird choice. Overall, this a a good metronome with a few useful features beyond the basic level. The makers should ditch the belt clip and add a decent stand.

Darrin Robertson: I play guitar and I bought this for groove training purposes.

It has four voices for the metronome and several drum beats to choose from. The first three metronome voices are various clicks, the fourth is a voice counting out the beats. The click sounds are all fine and are loud enough for playing an acoustic or turned down electric to. If I want to crank it up there's a headphone out that I can run into the amp. The voice count seemed a bit hokey to me at first, until I was trying to learn a solo with a long break before coming back in on an off beat. The voice count was super helpful for coming back in at the right place.

It has an accent beat that comes in at the top of a measure, a quarter note beat, an eight note beat, a sixteenth note beat, and a triplet. The volume for each can be set with the sliders on the front panel. You can use those volumes to dial in exactly what you need for training. Things I do with it are turn up the accent and the quarter note beat full and the eighth note to half for most practices. I turn the accent and the eighth notes on (leaving the quarter note mute) so that only the up beat is audible, which is great for practicing...
