Sweet.
Nice, small and relatively simple. Sometimes sticking with a small pedal board may be a good thing ya know
Would love to hear you play soon man. cheers bro. :twisted:
I see. thanks for explaning.
then for those who don't have a pedaltuner on board, do you not gig? why didn't you put a pedaltuner on board?

I'd assume it's either cutting costs, laziness, lack of experience, or confident that their guitar is super stable with floyd + tremsetter + locking nut + locking tuners or whatever. or thinking that tuning up before the gig will suffice. or thinking it's perfectly fine to tune by ear in front of an audience and disrupt the flow of the set. all these are honestly, silly reasons.
at the very least buy a clip on tuner for the headstock.
you'd be hard pressed to find one professional musician who doesn't have a floor or rack tuner. ONE. and i'm talking about even those guys who have roadies to change their guitar after every song.
malaysian, are you asking this because you're thinking about getting one but are reluctant for some reason or other? if so could i ask why? everyone who's responded is already saying yes a pedaltuner is essential. so why are you trying to find someone who'll say the opposite? curious.

Maybe they wanna save board space and use a clip-on tuner instead?
yesyes. the more pedals i bring, the heavier pedalboard i gotta carry. that's why. lol.
well, just gathering somemore info and opinions. hehe.
n those who responded, are those who have a tuner onboard, but those who don't have a tuner onboard didn't reply anything, so just curious. no biggie.

note: clip on tuners have a number of flaws. often they are frustrating to use especially in varied lighting conditions. they tend to pick up interference from other instruments bleeding in as they are pretty much microphone based.
also, they pick up internal vibrations and resonance of your guitar, via the headstock - body, joint, neck, headstock. i'm no expert in psychoacoustics but i think something will be lost in translation along the way. it just does not seem as good a conduit for accurate timbres (you'd pick up overtones, harmonics etc along the way) as a direct output from a guitar.
One of the so-called better clip on tuners, the Intelli IMT 500, has still not been impervious to criticisms for difficulties and inaccuray in relation to tuning the 5th and 6th strings.

one extra pound won't kill you dude! Come on, are you a rocker or a pussy? grow some muscles!
frankly it's just one of those things you gotta live with as a guitarist. you're lucky you're in Asia where almost every gig is provided with backline. try touring in AU, UK, US - you'd be hauling your 4x12 speaker cabinets up fire staircases to the gig and having to set up everything in 10 and tear down in the same time - including your drums, your micing up of everything, etc, and your line / sound check.
and you're worried about the WEIGHT of 1 pedal?
if you don't invest and make sacrifices for your music you'll never succeed. i think for you it begins with taking on the load of an additional pedal on your board.

I've got the tuner to end all tuners... The ultimate guitarist's tool box. scales, chords, tuner, metronome, 4 track recorder, mixer all included.
:mrgreen:
Yet I still have a BOSS Tuner in my pedalboard.
Utterly essential. Super light.

so, do you stomp on the touch screen to activate it?
