Members gspointer Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 I have a Peterson and a polytone. I haven't used the Peterson since I got the t.c. unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sheik_Yerbouti Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 Either the Turbo Tuner or the Polytune, both pretty impossible to beat. I'm all about the Turbo Tuner, myself, though. Check 'em out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ComingApart Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 I think I'm the only guy in the world using a strobostomp 2 anymore.The DI out and "sweetened" tunings and offsets are neat features. I love mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members giggletaint Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 Korg Pitchblack is really nice. It's really small and not very expensive. I like mine as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elemenope Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 I'm gonna get flamed, but Behringer makes a damn good one. Cheap too. Sorry man...But I will flame just a little...I own the Behringer rack mount tuner and it doesn't do anything lower than standard tuning. I hate this POS. I'd honestly give it away if someone wanted it..lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thefyn Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hardwire HT-6 Polyphonic Tuner Pedal Just strum all strings and see which one is out. Great for dark stages, they have thought of everything. Even glows in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cougar Hunter Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 I LOVE my Sonic Research Turbo Tuner. It lives up to the hype. I've thought about buying multiples before they sell out or cheapen the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members yourguitarhero Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 If you can't tune by ear you should just give up on playing guitar Don't record or play gigs much? :poke: Yeah, like the audience wants to hear you bwoinging away on your strings.Tuner pedals are incredibly accurate now - you can easily intonate a guitar with them. You're not going down to 0.1 cents accuracy with your ear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elemenope Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 If you can't tune by ear you should just give up on playing guitar That's a bold statement. I bet a lot of people can't tune by ear. It's pretty easy as long as you already have at least one string that is in tune...But to put new strings on a guitar and tune from nothing to standard tuning would be a feat for most people without a tuner.

Members ShaneV2 Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 If you can't tune by ear you should just give up on playing guitar And if not, I'll assume you've never had to fix your tuning on the fly between songs. Without making any noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members madryan Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 I've had one Turbo Tuner for a long time. I like it so much it's a permanent fixture on my board so I bought another one recently to use around the house when my gear is packed. They're better than any other tuner you can buy and don't really cost much if anything more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gspointer Posted May 12, 2011 Members Share Posted May 12, 2011 The Turbo Tuner is the best pedal tuner on the market right now. Why? I love the quick strum of the polytune to check tuning instantly, go right to the wonky string/strings, done. I think the turbo looks like a great tuner, and I seriously considered one before I got the polytune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Strobe display on the Turbo Tuner far better. People have had problems with the PolyTune "Strum" feature. Read about it in the link above.

I am not interested in anything gear page related. I am interested in your reason, and now have it:thu: I like the "needle" and don't have the strum issue. I have yet to see a Turbo except for youtube, but can't imagine anything better for me that the polytune. I have the peterson, it is a bit picky, and the display washes out when I play day gigs outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PolyTune is manufacturer spec'd at +/-.5 centsPeterson is manufacturer spec'd at .1 centThe Turbo Tuner is spec'd at .02 cents. Not that it matters at a certain point, but the Turbo Tuner is more accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
