Pedal tuners

Jonakin

What is the difference between pedal tuners and normal tuners because i found this: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-PT100-Custom-Pedal-Tuner?sku=215015 and do pedal tuners tell if your out of tune or something. And i also play an epiphone sg if that info is needed =p.

Thanks

Pedal tuners are mainly used for gigging people. They allow quick and easy tuning between songs. Also when you activate the tuner by stepping on it, you can mute your signal so people dont have to hear you tuning up between songs

Get a Boss TU-2 and be forever in tune.

Korg DT-10 or strobostomp to be honest, I use the dt-10 and its better than both the tu2 and pt-100

it's just handier to have it among your pedals, be it gigging or in your bedroom. So yeah, it's just as effective, all be it a little more expensive:)

the new planet waves one looks neat cheap enough too and i think its true bypass

Have a boss tu-2, didn't bother looking at other tuners. Have bought enough cheap gear in the past to know that you're better off just going out and spending the money on quality reliable gear.

It does the job it says it does. I use it for bass and I have no problems tuning on the lower frequencies like some tuners I've used in the past.

Having said that, I wouldn't bother spending €100 for a tuner if you're just going to be using it in your bedroom.

Ok thanks alot you all.

I've decided to buy this
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/produ...ner?sku=215015
But I heard that musciansfriends can only ship certain brand to international customers. So is it true or is there any other way to getting this tuner or a different site please?
Thanks alot.

I cant see that link, but whatever it is, im sure you could get it from thomann quicker and probably cheaper.

get it in europe just saves the hassle and longer wait

Ok this is somthing thats been bothering me for ages, whats the difference between all the tuners such as the korg dt 10 or the boss tu2 . I mean they all tune your guitar, i cant see how ones better than the other. I mean atm im pretty tempted to buy that behringer stage tuner, would it realy make that much of a difference?

Is vat already added on the prices at thomann?

And i'm getting a planet waves tuner for around 90 euroes but shipping is 15 euros. so 105 euroes for a planet waves tuner worth it?

planet waves one is built pretty well, and easy and simple, just get 200 euro worth of stuff, bits n bobs u cant get here handy... then the shippins free..



anyone kno when thomann will be sending out coupons for their stuff?

Yeah, once you are on the Irish page in thomann, the vat is added. There will be no customs or any of that malarkey.

If it's an autochromatic tuner, you don't have to change anything. It'll just read E, A, D or G
