Tuner

[devilman]

Hi ,

I would like to have some bro to recommend me a tuner for not those standard tuning.

Example i would like to tune to DAEGBD instead of normal EADGBE.

I would also like the tuner to have a mic as I play both Accoustic and Electric as well.

Thanks.

what you need, is a chromatic tuner.

Korg DT10 wld do fine. so wld the planet waves one or u can always buy a strobe.

ahh edit the one mentions are for electrics. unaware of any chormatic tuner that has a mic input.

STROBE OR DEATH.

Nothing else matters.

Use an SM57 to mic up your acoustic, you'll be fine.





:twisted:

Re

Hi, Where can i buy the tuner as mention ?

thanks.

What strobe tuners do you recommend and whats the price like?

Peterson strobe tuners are insanely priced though.

 

[MadWerewolfBoy]

get the clip on tuner from maestro... $30 only! acurate chromatic tuner to the core... cuz its clipped on to ur headsock

 

[lightice]

clip on tuners eh?
any others that attach onto the board?
or can be used for offstage tuning?

with a few instruments it might be easier to plug in/out rather than clip on/off

peterson strobe tuners might be SLIGHTLY insanely priced. BUT they are madly insanely and REALLY worth every cent.

If you have a Boss TU-12, I don't see the need to get a peterson strobe tuner.

Yes, there are audible differences when using a strobe tuner - on clean, chords ring beautiful, on distortion power chords have more body/punch, there's a difference alright.

But worth it?

Up to you... IMO, if you have the $, go for it, else, the TU-12 will do.

If you have a TU-2, screw it.

TU-12, whats the price range of this?

I know the peterson is ~300-400? Which is insane... considering the TU-12 might do 98% of what the peterson might.

 

[ShredCow]

lightice, the TU-12 doesn't do 98% of the peterson.

TU-12 does not have, in comparison with a Strobostomp 2

1) +/- 0.1 cent tuning
2) No chance of parallax error with SS2
3) No alternate tunings (e.g. BUzz Feiten) available with Tu12
4) No sweeten tunings with TU12
5) TU12 is harder to read in the dark
6) TU12 is fragile (i.e. Do a baseball bat test)
7) Tu12 in your setup will suck tone like... a lot
8) SS2 has DI box capabilities

 

[lightice]

the 98% i'm talking about is tuning capabilities.
0.1% is good, but its not necessary.
My preference would be not to include it into the setup, so tone sucking is no problem at all.

 

[ShredCow]

TU-12 = 1% tuning accuracy
SS2 = 0.1% tuning accuracy

98% huh.

 

[edo83]

then tune by ear lightice. you simply do not understand the technical difference between tu-12 and strobo.

Eh... What's wrong with a TU-2?
