The tunneling conductance spectra of a normal-metal/insulator/quasi-one-dimensional superconductor is calculated by using the Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk formulation. The pairing symmetry of the superconductor is assumed to be p, d, and f-wave. It is found that there is a well defined zero energy peak in electron tunneling along the direction parallel to the chains or normal to these when the transmitted quasiparticles feel different sign of the pair potential. The actual line shape of the spectra is sensitive to the nodes of the pair potential on the Fermi surface.
