Members Wyatt Posted February 2, 2010 Members Share Posted February 2, 2010 Yeah, MF has had it posted and been taken advanced orders since NAMM or so. If I were gigging I would consider one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaveAronow Posted February 2, 2010 Members Share Posted February 2, 2010 Wow. I have seen this on youtube and thought it was awesome but was expecting an outrageous price being T.C. electronics. I am definitely interested for 100.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Selbstmord Posted February 2, 2010 Members Share Posted February 2, 2010 I'll probably be getting one, if I just could find out if it manages lower tunings alright. (think B F# B E G# B etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members steve_man Posted February 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 might just sell my TU-2 and jump on one of these...wait for a 15% coupon code...and that would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blackhell Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 I'm between getting this or a Dunlop CAE Crybaby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members _pete_ Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 That has a big advantage for a gigging player.I'm a real pain in the ass about keeping time between songs to a minimum. A tuner like that can save a lot of precious seconds by letting you know which strings are out instantly opposed to checking each one individually. I wonder if a rack version is in the works.

Members steve_man Posted February 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 yeah, you're right. It would be much quicker playing live...and I like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ten56gibby Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 If I used a pedalboard, I'd be all over this. This is just way too cool!!! Kinda blew my mind a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious as to why you would want a rack version if speed is a concern here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members _pete_ Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 Just curious as to why you would want a rack version if speed is a concern here. My pedalboard is a Ground Control Pro. I don't have any instrument signal going to the board and I wouldn't want to run one just for a tuner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nuke_diver Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 I can see that would be fab for a gigging musician. It is pretty cool technology and would certainly speed up checking your tuning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members steve_man Posted February 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 yeah, I use my Tonelab a lot live, and it's tuner is fine...but it takes time. This would be quicker tuning. Plus, when I use my acoustic live, I have a tuner pedal, and my LR Baggs preamp box, and that's it. I'd happily swap my TU-2 for one of these...looks really nice, too. Never had any TC stuff, but it all looks really nice, and I seem to see the name a lot on pedalboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members doc oc Posted February 4, 2010 Members Share Posted February 4, 2010 Dumb question. How accurate would you say a tuner has to be to get good results out of it when setting intonation? The sonic research claims to be significantly more accurate than this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Firebrand Posted February 4, 2010 Members Share Posted February 4, 2010 Dumb question. How accurate would you say a tuner has to be to get good results out of it when setting intonation? Personally I will only use a Peterson Strobe or a Boss or Korg with a needle to set intonation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
