Tuners

[Session 5]

I have a tuner , but lost my other one somewhere so needed to replace the one I lost. I have the blue Snark SN1 and find that its fairly accurate. So went over to the shop yesterday to check on some different ones. You guys know there are many to choose from anyway finally made my choice and picked up the Korg Pitch Crow-G clip on tuner I find its pretty accurate more accurate than the Snark. In Chromatic mode it has a fine tuning feature the meter changes to a strobe setting allowing the Instrument to be tuned more accurately.

Very good, if it works for you then you are the winner indeed. I will check it out myself.

I like ch4omatic best. It seems easier.

Pedal tuners: I'm very biased towards my Peterson Classic Stomp. However, there are a few other excellent pedal tuners for half the price...



Clip-On Tuners: My current favorite, the TC Electronic Polytune Clip...

Not a fan of clip ons. They can dick up nitro and most of my guitars are finished in nitro, sooo Boss pedal for me.

I have used "Da Tuner" app for my Android smartphone for a few years now and it works simply great! The best part is that it is free. You can set it to any tuning like concert pitch (432 Hz) or standard pitch (440 Hz) or any other pitch you desire. If you have an Android smartphone I would highly recommend downloading this app. It's very accurate IMHO.

Won't use a clip on either. Too anal about aesthetics. I don't even clip my capo on the head.

I think they'll "dick up" just about any finish if you leave them on all the time, and also, if you are not careful enough when clipping them on and off. I leave mine only long enough to tune the guitar anyways. I use the Polytune Clip to tune my acoustic guitars, and my electrics when they are not plugged in.

 

[Session 5]

I do the same never leave them on. Also I find it unprofessional when guys leave them attached to their guitar while they are playing.

I play mostly bass......tune it once --- and done......for like a year or 12

I can't hear the difference between tuned or not, so ....... ;-)

I really like my Polytune Clip. I tend to leave it on the headstock, but rearward. Not much shows that way. I play and sing, and I’m to inept to juggle it around live. I love the quick check all 6 strings feature in a live situation.

Know what you mean. Tuned my bass like forever ago. Pretty sure if I picked it up today it’d still be close enough to play.

 

[ChasFred]

I can only play 1 string so it really doesn't matter, and on THAT note I have the BOSS pedal, and just ordered the BOSS clip on. I just like gadgets.
With that being said this forum is really bad for me . . . way too much gadget talk.

I don't know why I''m not looking at my reply, but I just wanted to say I believe I'll switch to yours, by texred.

I checked them out and somewhere said Pano was best. Don't know about that, but mine works perfectly, except you have to turn everything off down to the A/C. One day I checked against the Snark, and they read exactly the same. Oh yeah, that was app for android also free.

 

[kevinpaul]

I have a Peterson and it's really complicated.

 

[jtcnj]

I have a blue snark, a few of the Reverb branded clip ons and a Donner pedal.
All do the job. I dont leave em clipped on either.

Is that why your name is gasket.

 

[kevinpaul]

The battery's for some of the little clip on cost near as much as the tuners. I plug directly into the Peterson on stage. It's bright enough to see from a few feet away.

I wonder that same thing. Popped a Cork and Blew a Seat just lurk now, I wanted to ask them about their names.
