I also love the korg sledgehammer custom with its AAA battery and bright display. FWIW THE UNITUNE as well as the polytune DOES HAVE STROBE MODE.ĥ if im going break/lose a tuner, peterson is a bit pricey.tc unitune far less so. Unscientific, i have tuned with the tc’s and then clipped on a peterson to check for discrepancies in fine tuning…nadda. Easy to on/off, easy to read in bright sun. I also prefer the separation of the value buttons on the bottom of the tc as opposed to side by side on the peterson.Ĥ i far prefer the tc unitune and polytune. In bright outdoor light, there are times the amber display almost in unreadable.Also headstock contraption versus simple metal clamp/clip is, for me, less than sleek. Why? Mostly brightness and ease of read and selecting instrument mode(i am well versed, you still need to toggle through). Except on 3 saddle teles…ģ like dave, i think they are a bit of a pain. Simple…tune until the bars are stationary. I use my old blue huge version on electrics. And, for me, on bass, hearing low notes is bit harder to dial inĢ they are unequaled for set up/intonation. Especially on stage, in a jam, outside, etc., where i cant always hear. With mando ,and its fast note decay, where i first decided i needed a peterson, a great fast accurate tuner is a no brainer. I have the newest clip and the old blue strobo. They also are much more durable (for me) than the ubiquitous Snark.ġ i like petersons. Very accurate and is faster than anything else in nailing the pitch, indispensable for tuning mandos. I find the TC clipon to be a great tuner. They also are much more durable (for me) than the ubiqitous Snark. The strobe and harmonics revealed that the intonation on the B string on my D18 was sharp, making it impossible to get that perfect ring on a G5 chord. I've found it helpful to use harmonics between strings to get things really dialed in. If your TC is a Polytune, it has a strobe mode which I only use when adjusting intonation. I believe Waverly just released a set of open backs in 1:21. Your present tuners are 1:18, I had the same Grovers on my D-18, they got mushy after 6 months so I replaced them with Gotohs.ġ:21 tuners are helpful (I use them on my tele) but are harder to find. I can't remember what tuners are on my 000-28 nor do I know what "good" tuners feel like but sometimes struggle to dial them in. I do however sometimes hear individual strings being out of tune even after using my TC tuner which is what prompted me to get the strobo. 8:30 PM - Apr 04As if my playing is precise enough to warrant precise tuners.
