Title: Guitar Tuner ?
Post by: Mick on September 25, 2016, 01:34:35 PM
What make and model guitar tuner do you use?

I'm now a great fan of my Snark Guitar, Bass and Violin Clip On Tuner (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Snark-Guitar-Bass-Violin-Tuner/dp/B004XNK7AI/ref=sr_1_1?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1474809613&sr=1-1&keywords=snark+guitar+tuner).  After using a Korg GA-1 for a couple of years, finding it pretty tricky to see clearly, I decided to give the Snark a try.  Well I have to say it's a breath of fresh air.  It's really easy to see and easy to use.   I highly recommend you give the Snark tuner range a try.

I'd not seen that model Mick.

I use one of these:

as a clip on tuner. Details HERE (http://www.tcelectronic.com/polytune-clip/). I also have a Fender clip tuner which is OK. The APX700 has a built in tuner, and the tuners built into the Fender Mustangs are easy and accurate (especially easy to use with the 4 button footswitch). For the bass I have a venerable Arion pedal, which is still the best tuner I've owned. On the 'phone I use the Boss TU-3 app.

I've been using the Boss TU tuner for a while now, seems tried and true.

But, I've had my eye on the Polytune. That tuner looks pretty slick.

As you can see from my previous post I have the clip on Polytune. One strum and you can see if you are in tune. Very handy. I'm sure the floor pedal will be even slicker.

Peter, hi and welcome to Guitarist Guild.  ;) Must say the Polytune does look pretty neat. although I've not actually used a pedal based tuner yet.

Thanks guys. If I do decide to get another bass I'll definitely have to try one of these. :)
