Metronomes...

I'm looking at getting a half decent metronome, my current one is just horrible to use. Something that has headphone output, volume control and isn't completely ear piercing would be preferable. Also, something which I can program a chain of time signatures into, e.g 7/8 alternating with 11/8, it would be really handy. Also something that can do triplets and quintuplets.
I was looking at the Boss DB-60, but I don't know how well it does the odd time signature thing. Does anyone have any other recommendations?
Cheers!
 
I was looking into buying a Boss DB-60 a while ago but didn't have the cash.

Looks like it has a lot of what you are looking for, but perhaps you might be better off spending a few hundred and getting a proper drum machine so you can program in your own rhythms and patterns.

Yeah I was thinking of that, but most of them are really hip-hop/techno orientated, and are often a bit overpriced. Of course, if I found one I could quickly program complex meters into and have it play some kind of standard beat, that would be cool.
Thanks man.
