I have a couple of the old Boss ones that have the VU meter-like needle and these seem to confuse the hell out of most bands these days. the number of bands that roll in without a working tuner is kind of shocking. if they're with me in the control room, I can just use a plugin one, but that doesn't help in the live room. what are y'all using these days? i am leaning towards the Petersen one.

I have a few Snarks (because someone always forgets to give it back to me and I then have to chase it down...) and I've got a TC Polytune 3 (the reg sized one). oh, and a couple older Boss or Roland plug-in (1/4" cable) kind but rarely use them.

Snarks are dirt cheap. They break but they’re dirt cheap

I used to stick an old optical strobe tuner in the control room window and had everyone tune to that. It sounded way better than people using individual tuners.

I’m a big fan of the TurboTuner. True strobe tuner. Crazy responsive. I have a couple of them. |

We have a rack mounted Fender unit in the control room, if needed

Whatever tuner you use: for more reliable and faster tuning when using any of the electronic tuners, turn the tone control of your guitar/bass down.
Full up, the instrument's high frequency harmonics superimpose on the fundamentals, confuse most tuners and render imprecise results.

And a TC polytune that works pretty well for general duties. |

Hopefully Reverb is not selling those clip-on tuners for $5 anymore. Those were the absolute worst. I mean $5 was a great price, but also a complete waste of $5. They would eat batteries so fast, and then most of the time the tuning was wrong anyway, or they couldn't sync on a note.

If a VU meter is confusing to them is a strobe tuner going to be any better?

Different tuners almost never agree about pitch.

Different tuners almost never agree about pitch. I have no idea what it is..:but this tuner makes every guitar dead freaking nuts. I can tune them on anything else and it’s a crapshoot with the G and B strings always out of tune. I need to run sine waves through this and adjust my axefx to match it. If that makes any damn sense. |

I have a peterson stobo plus hd, it can be as simple or complicated as you want, has all the sweetening presets and you can download different tunings via sharing, my acoustics need slight tweaking by ear to get them in tune with themselves if that makes sense? I saved the parameters and now I can repeat quickly without using my ear, which in certain instances its very helpful, like when wearing headphones www.petersontuners.com/products/stroboplus/ |

The other "trick" is to tune the tuner to the piano.

I've been tempted to buy this, but do you have to calibrate it every time you use it? And how do you do it? Do you run a sinewave through it?
Also, have you ever tuned to the attack and not the sustain of the string?

I ain’t calibrated shit…and I know the guy I bought it from didn’t…I turn it on and it works. This isn’t digital, this is analog…turn it on and it sounds like the little engine that could. |

The clip-on Peterson strobe takes some getting used to but it is the tits!

I forgot to mention that I got the best results using a microphone and never direct.
