Advise on tuners

[mightyboy88]

Hi,

Anyone has experiences with the korg pitchblack tuner? I am interested in acquire a good tuner that is reliable on stage and hence it must be able to tune fast and accurate, i would also require it to be accurate enough for doing a intonation setup.

Are there any other tuners that you guys may recommend for these usages? I am using a 7 string ibanez rg mainly with passive pickups

I use it. probably the best floorboard tuner I've used to date. It's going to be on my board until it spoils. even so, I'm going to get the same tuner to replace it.

On a side note, I installed a N-Tune on my Ibanez RG7421. Works like a charm. No problem with the low notes at all.

Yes it's very accurate.
Display is sharp also.
and it's darn cheap,
just get it, you won't regret. It can be used as a mute also as it cuts off your signal to the amp while tuning.
Very useful live

in addition to being my reliable tuner, the PB is also an integral member of my set-up tools.

Hi guys thanks for the inputs, i guess i would be getting the PB soon den. Yeah bro penta-tonic i have read some reviews on the turbo tuner, generally rave reviews for it hahah. Can it be bought locally?

 

[penta-tonic]
