Members ShaneV2 Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 I love my Sonic Research Turbo Tuner. Totally lives up to the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 Korg Pitchblack is really nice. It's really small and not very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hcprimerib Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 TU-3 is better than the TU-2. But it's still not true bypass. So your signal is still buffered. It's a slight tone change but it still is. I just switched to the TC Electronic Polytune and I really like it. The polyphonic stuff is okay, but as a true bypass tuner with a great display, I dig it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NaturalBornBoy Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 Sonic Research Turbo Tuner or Peterson Strobostomp 2 or the newer Classic. /thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members madrigal77 Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 Another vote for Pitchblack. Or, if you don't want to spend much money, the GFS tuner is pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sikor Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 On a budget: Pitchblack.Ultimate option: Turbo Tuner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ron Burgandy Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 I use the Pitchblack and love it, however the TC Polyphonic tuner looks really nice. Unfortunately it wasn't out when I bought mine, but if I had to buy another tuner today that would be the one. Nothing against the Pitchblack, but the Polytune is just better.

Members RiffDaemon Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 I highly recommend the Polytune. Also, if you play outdoors in direct sunlight, it's a godsend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chriscnb Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 Polytune has a great display and is true bypass, plus it can power up to 2000mA daisy chained. I also used a TU-2 for many years and you can power 5 pedals with that as well. The new Boss and Polytune are around the same price...I'd spring for the Polytune, I got mine for $89 brand new a year ago. Being able to use a daisy chain is a big selling point for me. I've also heard great things about the Turbo Tuner (dunno if it powers other pedals) and the Peterson is one of the most accurate, but it's expensive.

Members Bee_Gee Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 Another +1 on the pitchblack.works great, very bright led's can be seen outdoors, built like a tank, and it looks like darth vader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarbilly74 Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 I've been using the GFS pedal and I have no complaints, it does what it is supposed to do and it doesn't color the tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Macelind Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 I have the Korg Pitchblack too but I didn't like the way it changed my tone. I use the tuner out on my EB volume pedal to keep it out of my chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Belva Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 I'm gonna get flamed, but Behringer makes a damn good one. Cheap too. It's really easy to make my guitar flat to match the acoustic piano @ my friend's house, doesn't color the tone and is easy to see on a dark stage. It's also proven to be durable as hell. Pulling the top off to change a battery is stoopid, but I use a wall wart (it's Behringer too and the quitest one I've seen). So y'all can go eff yourself if you refuse to look a Behringer stuff.

Members guitarbilly74 Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 I have the Behringer at home and I don't recommend it. It sends a high pitch signal to the amp when the tuner is searching for a note. Very noticeable if you have your amp on the OD channel (or if you own a single channel high gain amp). On the clean channel it is not as noticeable. It won't tune a low B on a 5-string bass, and the battery lid broke off the first time I tried to put a battery in it. I fixed it though and used it for a while. It worked well except for the problems mentioned above. But I highly recommend the GFS unit over it.

I never noticed that high pitch signal. Maybe there's something wrong with yours? It's not like Behringer gear has QA concerns . I wish someone would make a tuner pedal that has a mic built in so it can be easily set up to tune the git to something, like said piano, quickly. How hard could that be? Some kind of calibration function that automatically sets the tuner up to a reference pitch. Oh, and it's gotta be a pedal. I'd spend big bucks for something like that and I'm a cheap b@$t@%d.
