Hi Dudes!!! The best tuner ever, forget your rack gear and pro audio nonsense, this is definatly the best tuning pedal there is.

The stomp action allows you to by-pass the tuner when not using and retain your sound with no differennce but when you press it down to tune it cuts of sound coming from your ampliphier so people in the pub ...

Disadvantages: None

The Korg GA-30 is a must for anyone who tunes guitars. I have recently started to learn to play guitar, initially finding the tuning process frustraiting and long. (I play piano and have that tuned every 6 months, tuning a guitar every time i play = long) I just want to get down to playing! The korg is fantastic, you can tune using the inbuilt mic, great if its quiet, but better still to plug in the direct jact port. Then just watch the scale and/or ...
...to get the note perfect. It also has a function to drop the note your tuning by a semi-tone to 5 semi-tones (ie two and half tones (notes) so tuning a drop D is easy as pie and you don't have reconfigure the device, just a touch of a button and you can drop tune any note!

Advantages: Very easy to use, very accurate.
Disadvantages: Quite small, loud noises can interfere with tuning with built in mic.

This is a must for any musician on the move, or simply someone who needs to tune guitars often. The whole thing is incredibly easy to use, with three clear lights that light up according to the note. To use it, you can either use the built in microphone, and it will pick up the sounds very easily, but can be troublesome if there is too much background noise, things like a tv, even other guitars playing in the background can be fine, but there are ...
...simply use your musical cable (same type you use for an amplifier) and plug it into the jack socket in the side of the tuner. It will then pick up anything you play. The small dial alternates between the right and left sides, making it very clear how far you are from hitting the right note. The red lights will turn off and the middle green light will turn on as soon as you are close enough to the right note. There is the option to tune flat to ... Read review

Advantages: For alternate tunings, tune by plugging in directly or by mic
Disadvantages: Often shows wrong notes

There's an Automatic Guitar tuner version of this (which is silver-coloured, not gold), but should you need a dBGDGD, drop-D or need to come down a semitone down from standard - something other than eBGDAE, then give this a look. As well as the display there are LED's to show whether you are flat/sharp (within 50 cents). Electric instruments can be plugged in directly at the top (thus you can tune quietly) whilst there is a built-in mic to pick up ...
...to pick up on the lower pitches, and when tuning, the note can often alternate between right and wrong - the wrong tends to be fifths for reasons which might trouble those new to playing an instrument. The on/off button is not that responsive, and sometimes the symbol indicating low on battery power shows when there is still some usage left from the 2 AAA batteries it requires. The pitch pipe (ascending in semitones from middle C) can help those ... Read review
