![]() ![]() On the same token, don’t pay too much for a tuner that you don’t need. Don’t underpay, or you’ll probably get a cheap unit that will break right away. Most guitarists will be completely satisfied with something around $80-90, and this is where the most popular pedals tend to be priced. Even just pedal tuners range quite a bit in pricing, from $30 to over two hundred. You can spend $10 of a clip-on tuner or get a free app and be just fine in some situations, while having to pay $300 and up if you’re an aspiring guitar tech wanting to set up guitars for other people. PriceĪ big consideration for many guitarists is price. Remember, once you get your pedal, treat it a little bit carefully and it’ll last a lot longer. A good tuner pedal will have users commenting about its durability in the comments. The best way to look for pedal durability is to check user reviews on the Internet. Look for tuner pedals that are made from high-quality metal and springs, and that can take the rigors of the stage. Speaking of stepping on an effect pedal a lot, another thing to consider is how durable your pedal will be. ![]() Even if you’re considering buying a guitar tuner online, it’s a good idea to visit a guitar store first to try out different models and see what features you like. It’s good to find a tuner that works for you, that you can easily read and won’t jump all over the place. Rather than worry about whether the pedal will tune, pay special attention to how its interface works. Many modern tuners tune down to a fraction of a note, and most of the tuners are very accurate. A professional studio will have a rack tuner, but they will use it to tune all sorts of cool instruments – not just guitars. A pedal tuner can also be used for recording, but when recording at home, you’ll probably use a VST tuner. No one needs to hear you tune your guitar. Both for its improved accuracy over a clip-on, but also for muting your rig when it’s on. When you start performing live, you’ll want a pedal tuner. When you practice at home, or when you’re just starting out, you really don’t need anything more than a simple clip-on tuner or a hand-held one. It is a bit of an oversimplification of the process, but I bet you got the point. While most tuners are based on a microphone of some sort, strobe tuners use light frequencies to compare the frequency of a note played with the frequency of the target note. They can come in many forms, as “strobe” describes the technology behind them. Strobe tuners are the most accurate tuners in the market and are used by guitar techs and studio recording engineers. They are relatively accurate, and since they come built-in with your DAW, they are practically free. They take the audio information from your signal and track its pitch. If you are using a DAW (digital audio workstation) to record your guitar (whether acoustic or electric), you probably came across a few of these. I used to use a few of them a few years back when I was producing music in a studio, and they are a huge fun to mess around with. ![]() I don’t feel like advising on which multi-effect you should buy because it depends a lot on what are you planning to do with it. The tuner function is usually not even the main feature of these, as they are most likely multi-effects. Their high level of accuracy and huge display can make an actual difference to the experience of tuning a guitar. Rack tuners may seem like an overkill, but they do have some benefits. ![]()
