I don't need TB if I'm just tuning at home, but it would come into play on stage.įrom what I read, the Peterson is more accurate for intonation and things like that. That means easy to read on stage, true bypass, ect. I want an extremely accurate tuner (for intonation setups at home and more "tech work" type of stuff) and also a practical one for stage use. The issue I have is I'm looking for the best of both worlds in a way.

Just keep in mind that I use the Android version and I have no idea if the iOS version is the same or slightly modified (there is and iOS version though.Yep I ran into that same page and read it over.

It works exceptionally well, especially considering the Pro version only cost me something like $3 It's a great app and worth checking out the free version if they still offer it! I find it to be very accurate and fast. It has several different modes and display options, including a couple of strobe modes.

If you decide to go with a software version, make sure you have a decent direct audio interface between the guitar and hardware: use a cable when you want the most accurate results, rather than a mic.Īnother software option I really like is PitchLab Pro. Personally I'd have a hard time paying $10 for an app that hasn't been updated in almost two years but it may just not need it, so YMMV.

I will note that the mobile app (at least on Android) hasn't been updated since Feb 2015. The desktop apps are $49-$99 depending on version, the mobile apps are only like $10. For a little less, they make a couple software/app versions: StroboSoft (Mac/Win) and iStroboSoft (iOS/Android). For a little more, they also make the StroboStomp (a pedal, if it wasn't obvious), but those run about $200.

It's small, not much bigger than a pedal, but lots of options. It's usually around $140, but if you shop around you can sometimes find it for about $20 less than that. The Peterson StroboPlus HD is a good option, and isn't too expensive as far as strobe tuners go. Now I've done a few guitars but intonation is my weakness.

Plus I like cleaning up my guitars and I can set my action everything how I like it better than what a guitar tech can right off the bat since I know how I want my guitar to feel - But I just wasn't confident in my skill before. I have a few guitars now so I don't want to be spending money on it. I also am trying to learn everything about guitar setup and maintenance so I can stop bringing my guitars in to the shop every so often for a setup. That's what lead my quest to find a tuner I can use on my board and also set intonation with. I could hear myself slightly out of pitch, but then not see it on the tuner. Took my guitar in to the shop and I got it intonation and it as off compared to how the guy there fixed it. I have some handheld desktop tuners (the regular korg guitar tuner thing), but I set intonation with it once and I just couldn't get as accurate as I wanted it. I don't think I've ever been happy with any of my multi-fx tuners. Plus, my rig is currently tuned by a digitech rp-255 multi-fx whenever I want to tune up LOL And I'm not too happy with that tuner. I was in fact considering just using a desktop tuner with my audio interface, but It's way farther away from my area at home where I work on my guitars. No problem, it's good to have this info for everyone available. As I said above, intonation's so infrequently done you might as well use the computer and DI for setups.Įdit: pardon the verbose response - I realize you probably know most if not all of this, but in case someone casually reads over this, I'd like to keep the entire explanation for posterity. I've been using that for both tuning and intonation for a while now. Thirdly, unless you're constantly experimenting with different string gauges or brands, if you stick to a brand and gauge set, once you've set it, it should hold until your next truss rod adjustment - if it doesn't, that means the bridge itself is of shoddy quality because the saddles are supposed to stay put (assuming the nut, as the other end of the equation, is also stable, not tilting slowly under the tension).įinally, if you have an audio interface, I'd suggest trying something like a desktop tuner (like AP tuner) and hooking your guitar up through it. Secondly, your intonation is generally something that should be checked and corrected at most every half a year as the seasons change and as you adjust the truss rod. So anything that is precise up to a cent is okay, anything more precise than that probably means you're paying more than it's worth. First of all, most sources cite that the average human ear can't perceive less a difference of less than 5 cents.
