Tuner for live use....

[chadsxe]

Can someone recommend me a Tuner for live use. I don't want it to be racked so a stompbox is a must. I am running wireless into a marshal DSL 100 (JCM2000), and am in standard tuning drop D.

Will it register my drop D.

 

[wishtheend]

You can set it to Standard (E/Drop D), Half-Step (Eb/Drop Db) +/- & Whole-Step (D/Drop C) +/-

It recognizes the pitches by string number like this:

e 1
b 2
g 3
d 4
a 5
e 6

So if doing any drop tuning, just hit the 12th harmonic and tune it until it matches in tune for 4 (D).

I've got one of the cheap Fender tuners. It's done well for a year so far...

Korg DTR-1000 or 2000. Good tuner for the price.

Edit- Nevermind you don't want a rack unit.

The boss tu-2 will track waay down so no worries for you..

TU-2 all the way, I might add one to my shopping list today actually thinking about it.

The TU-2 I have on my board now actually registers the lower stuff better than my old Korg rack tuner, I've found. It'll get you there with no problems.

I have a Fender chromatic tuner, the newer pedal ones with the blue and red LED's. Metal housing, easy to read LED and note display, half the cost of the boss pedal unit, but the same basic idea and design. For me, it's been flawless. It tracks great.

Another TU-2 user. Great tuner, easy to read unless your playing in direct sunlight (even then it's better than most integrated digital tuners within multi effects units). Plus if you wanted to you can power other boss pedals with it.

i also use the TU-2, I usually play in drop C and it is as accurate as necessary for live.

 

[greyskull]

tu 2 will do the trick just fine

Peterson strobe tuner! Nah, you want a tuner that will kill tour guitar's volume, though. So your not tuning through the PA.

works great, and built like a tank

now that i use a gt6 floorboard with the same tuner technology built-in, it's not my main tuner anymore...but i still won't show up at a gig without it
