What tuner do you use?

[snarph]

Mine are getting old and I am about to get a couple new ones

So what do you use and why

 

[Robert]

Korg pitchblack - it's true bypass, fast and accurate, big lights and small size. Plus, it's black... how cool isn't that?
It's not expensive either.

 

[marnold]

A Korg CA-20. Why? Because the store had it when I bought my first guitar and I can't justify shelling out for a Strobostomp.

 

[Spudman]

I use an Arion pedal tuner. It doesn't color my sound at all but...
I found these true bypass tuners at half the price of the Pitchblack and may pick one up.

 

[BluezOldy]

I use a Korg TM-40

and a Boss TU-15

I like the Korg best.

 

[wingsdad]

First I use my ears. But to be sure:

For electrics, acoustic/electrics and basses, Boss TU12H. Still strong after 25 years.

For acoustics that don't plug in, like my D-40, dobro, uke, and mando, IntelliTune IMT500. Clips on the headstock.

Or a tuning fork on the lower bout of the body to match vibrations of various A harmonics.

The onboard tuner on my Takamine Santa FE EAC38C is pretty accurate, and so's the tuner in my Boss ME-50.

But I double check with the TU12H or IntelliTune.

 

[snarph]

Thanks fellas I have a boss tu15 and tu12 maybe it time to by a stomp tuner and a strobe

 

[warren0728]

korg ca-30 and occasionally the built-in tuner on my rp250....

This Dean Markley one. Only about $60, very accurate, and has blinding blue lights, so you can read it on stage.

[evenkeel]

Korg CA-30. Not sure why I got it but it works well.

I like the Intellitouch tuners. Been thinking about geting one if I start the open mic thing again.

 

[just strum]

Korg GA20 and the built in on my RP350

 

[Algonquin]

Boss TU-2 Tuner. I like the fact you can power other pedals with this unit... just buy the boss (or similar) power connector and you're ready to go. I use it to power the pedals I run through my effects loop. It's a nice solid little tuner. Lot's of good units out there... should be easy to find a good one that you like.

Cheers :beer:

 

[Gil Janus]

I have 2 tuners, the first is a

Sabine MetroTune MT9000
Chromatic Tuner with Metronome, Tone Generator and Built-in Folding Stand

http://www.sabine.com/sabine-music-accessories/mt-9000.htm

Nice and small - W=3.95”, H=2.5”, D=0.73” (10 cm x 6.3 cm x 1.8 cm), uses AAA batteries, has a mic for tuning acoustics and a 1/4" jack for electrics. It fits in your gig bag. :AOK:

and I have a

Fender PT-100 Pedal Tuner

Heavy-Duty die cast housing, bright LED indicators for accurate tuning, Large LED note indicator, 2 OUT jacks (one jack acts as a 'Mute'), 9v adapter jack

http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0239994000

It is not the fastest pedal tuner, but it works well - and I have a black one. But use a power supply, it eats batteries :thwap:

[player]

It is called a Cherub.clips on the headstock.has LED's red until it is tuned then goes green. w/+ and - cents aka sharp or flat.good to use anywhere

 

[djmcconnell]

I use a Boss TU2 for playing at church. Works well and I like the bypass feature when I'm not playing. I did spring for the power supply.

I just got a Meisel MCT-8L that clips onto the head stock about a month back. I use it mostly at home so I don't have to cable up to the pedal tuner for practicing. I like it, too.

 

[Bloozcat]

A Peterson VS-1.

I was tired of the cheapie tuners I had tried and wanted to upgrade to a strobe. Peterson was unveiling their VS-2 at the time, so Musician's Friend was closing out the VS-1. The complaint about the VS-1, and the reason for the new VS-2, was that the display wasn't bright enough. Well, I've got no complaints in that regard, and it's been a great tuner. They're expensive compared to others - even on a closeout - but, it was worth it to me to finally get a really accurate tuner.

 

[ZMAN]

Boss TU2 on my pedal board. I like the bypass, and the ability for alternate tunings. Very sturdy and very precise.

 

[sunvalleylaw]

So what is the consensus on a really good value on a strobe tuner? Not that I am getting one, just curious. Neil Young's tech, Larry Cragg, contends that a strobe tuner absolutely cannot be beat and it really necessary to properly intonate and tune, in the interview posted by tot a few days back.

 

[ShootTheGlass]

Some small chromatic cheapo by "AAA". Seems alright, accurate enough. Reason? It was free

 

[hubberjub]

I use a Planet Waves pedal tuner. It is true bypass and is very accurate but it produces a loud hum when you turn the pedal on. This is a common problem with this pedal but all the company says you need to do is move it to a different spot in the pedal chain. That hasn't worked yet. I'd stay away from it.

 

[Plank_Spanker]

A Korg GT12 when I practice, and a Korg DTR1000 rack tuner when I play gigs.

The GT12 has a real meter movement - not some jukey moving LED display. It's much easier to use to me.

 

[markb]

A Korg DT10 on the pedalboard, a tiny Korg GA20 in the acoustic case and a Boss TU12H for intonation adjustments.

 

[Mr Grumpy]

I currently have 3 tuners in all, none expensive. A cherub clip on guitar tuner that tunes 6strings to standard pitch (not chromatic) which can also be switched to tune a half-tone flat. A plug in intelli chromatic tuner/metronome and the tuner in my toneport. Tonight as a test I used all 3 simultaneously and they were all spot on and agreed with each other. I might get another clip on tuner (cheap again) but a chromatic one so I can use it with my bass too, or for alternate tunings (which I dont use much, maybe a bit of drop D every so often). Cant see me needing a pedal tuner

 

[Disraeli]

I use a peterson strobostomp tuner. They are pretty pricey, but I got a great deal on mine off of ebay. Best pedal I have, aswell as tuner I have ever used.

 

[Carlström]

Korg DT10 for when i really need it actually matters (gigs, recording and rehearsal) and just some nice and cheap boss chromatic tuner that i have a 3 of lying around the place for whenever i just sit and strum/jam.
(the reason for me having 3 of those tuners is that keep loosing them and then when i buy a new one the old one pops back in to existance)

[Jimi75]

I use the Fender MT-1000 Metronome Tuner. For gigs I use a Fender pedal tuner. I have been fancied with a strobo tuner lately, so my tuner might change in the next time.

 

[sunvalleylaw]

That, and the one Spud mentioned look nice. This one is strobe though. Have you used it long? This could go on my list.

[ShortBuSX]

Ive got an Intellitouch clip on tuner.
Works pretty good, the only minor issue Ive had with it has been intonating at the 12th fret on the high e.

Like I said it works well, I often recheck the tuning on other pedals so it seems accurate, but for intonation I often wish I had something a lil more confidence inspiring...but then, once again, I test it against other tuners and it always been pretty on the spot. So I reckon it works well for the money and for being a clip on.

 

[Rocket]

I use a Boss TU-2 on the PB and a Boss TU-12H in the case... but first & foremost, I always trust this one:
