I've had it for about a year.

Works well, full BFTS support in the Deluxe version if you are into that. Lots of parameters to customize and save and good for setting intonation. Cons include potential problems accessing soundcard resources if trying to run StroboSoft and your DAW app at the same time. I tune before each take, so that can get tiresome.

I also have StroboStomp and I prefer it for general everyday tuning duties since it has a hard bypass and I can run it inline before the guitar amp. Also, the display is a bit less erratic on the pedal vs. the on screen display of StroboSoft. It's easier to "cage" the strobe bands on StroboStomp ... even though with StroboSoft you can adjust the sensitivity, the bands sometimes never appear to stand still which is very frustrating.

Unless you need it to be available on your DAW or need a feature exclusive to the software, I would recommend a hardware unit like StroboStomp or the new StroboFlip.

Still, it's not that expensive, relative to what you get. And like I said, for intonation, I prefer it.
