Thread: electronic tuner for the workshop

Nothing in my workshop. I have bench in my guitar room where I do all assembly and setup work. Once it's setup, I plug into my line 6 pod hd and use that tuner. Or my rack mount tuner.

So many options. Peterson strobe tuners are generally the best you can get. They cost alot though. Korg pitch black pedal tuner into a little amp would work well too

I was using a Peterson VSF strobe tuner that I got from Stewmac for $200. Unfortunately I blew it up by using the wrong power supply. Bugger!

They're not available anymore, but I found an ios app from Peterson that basically the same thing.

Clip-On Peterson strobe tuner from Stewmac - Super accurate and the "sweetened" tunings are great

STEWMAC.COM : Peterson StroboClip Tuner

There are software versions of Peterson tuner for Mac and even the iPhone.

Goddamn apple! Nothing for bloody android! I think it may be available for pc too but it's pretty expensive from memory

i tried the peterson tuner software and could not get it to work properly so i got my money back
to their credit there was no argument at all
not that expensive

i dont think i had the input side from the guitar sussed out properly
i used a usb / guitar lead thingy direct to the computer which didn't work too well

still have no decent interface from guitar to pc

I have a behringer guitar link that I don't use. It's yours if you want it. I've upgraded to an mbox or I can run direct from my pod hd.

thanks man - much appreciate your generous offer - pm sent

Snark SN-5
It will do everything from Bass right through to Violin.
Cheaper than some of the other Snarks 'cos it doesn't have the Metronome.

I had one of them for awhile. The sn8 I think. I tend to just use rack tuner or pod hd nowm

This is for a workbench tuner, the good thing about the Snark is that it is chromatic so you don't have to plug anything in, even an electric on the bench for setup can be done without plugging it in.

I use PODs for my electric & acoustic electric when I am playing them.

I have a Sabine STX1100 that lives in my gig bag unless I need it on the bench
