The Peterson Strobe tuner has been the industry standard for ultra-precise instrument tuning for decades. With the introduction of the 400 series strobe tuners in the 60's, touring acts now had access to precise instrument tuning, and the 400 series became standard equipment for guitar techs everywhere. But times, they are a-chang...
Korg has been in the tuner game for over 20 years, being famed for the accuracy and quality of their rackmount tuners. Korg introduced the Pitchblack series of tuners in 2008, to much acclaim, and rightly so. It's a very simple, functional design. Encased in a durable metal housing with barrel footswitch, the Pitchblack measures i...
In the days before guitarists could step on a pedal and tune their guitar on the fly, their best option was either an expensive model from the Peterson 400 Strobe series, or the small needle-based Boss TU-12. Neither were a very convenient option for a variety of reasons. The strobe tuners were difficult to read unless one was educated in how to...
I usually troll the major music web sites for clearance or one day sales so I can add neat things to my collection and tack on accessories to make up an order big enough for free shipping. The Tascam TG-7 happened to be one of those items. My Boss tuner had recently died after many years of service and I figured at $7 how could I go wrong? Th...
The Boss TU-2 has been a great tool for tuning on the fly in gigging situations. Before this unit, I was using handheld tuners with little or no functionality built in for drop tunings. Playing both classic and modern music means you either carry way too many guitars around or you have a versatile tuning device such as the TU-2 to help. The feat...
The Korg CA-30 is a handheld, very portable chromatic tuner. It has a wide range of pitch detection, from C1 to C8, and it is ideal for virtually any instrument. It has both a guitar input (1/4 inch) and a microphone for pitch detection. The visuals on the pitch detection are great: it uses a virtual needle, which is very easy to follow. There a...

It also has a built in microphone, for tuning any acoustic instruments. There are several tuning modes: Guitar, Bass, Chromatic, Drop...
The Korg DT-10 is a chromatic tuner designed for acoustic instruments that can simply clip onto your guitar or other stringed instrument. It is really easy to use and it will pick up your signal accurately and allow you to tune your instrument perfectly and it will only take a matter of minuets. Whether I'm using the Korg DT-10 for simply prac...
The TC Electronic Polytune is something you do not see every day in the world of tuners. It is something different. The Polytune brings a new level of usability to the act of tuning your guitar. With the Polytune you tell the tuner what tuning you are using. It does E standard all the way down to B standard. Once this is setup you can just strum...
This is a pretty reliable tuner, and great in many ways. The tuner has 1/4" input and output, as well as an output that completely bypasses the tuner (this is cool sometimes, trust me). The unit comes with a power supply that powers the whole operation. In addition, this tuner features an option where you can "daisy chain" up to 7 more BOSS peda...
