Best $30 I ever spent on a guitar gadget.

These Korg AW-2's are great tuners. Pretty accurate and stable. Also works well for setting your intonation. I like that I don't have to have it inline. I think it looks cool on the guitar too. Another trivial post brought to you by Mule.

Re: Best $30 I ever spent on a guitar gadget.

there is a wireless one that is circular that changes colors.

works great in a noisy guitar store from 20 feet away. Couldn't believe it.

it was around the same price, thought it was made by Korg also but maybe I'm wrong.

want it though.

Re: Best $30 I ever spent on a guitar gadget.

above, I meant to say there are colored LEDs that let you know when you approach pitch ...

... but I left out the COOLEST part: the big "E" or "G#" it shows you when you are AT pitch !

but the REALLY cool part I wasn't clear about is you don't need it in yer chain because it picks up yer strings vibrating from 20 feet away!!!! It's wireless!!! Works perfcetly in a noisy store / bar / stadium. Sit it on top of yer amp and just look over at it from across the stage.

almost positive it's a Korg. Would buy 10.

works acoustically from 20 feet away

Funny thing though: the korg website doesn't specify anywhere (anywhere I looked...) that it can be used at a distance in the range you specify.

Just from the looks of it, it seems pretty much like any other hand-held tuner: you can plug into it or use the mic... I wonder if my old-school tuner works from further away...

Re: Best $30 I ever spent on a guitar gadget.

I still have never owned a tuner.

Anyone who has ever seen my YouTube videos is thinking "yeah, no sh!t!"

I got my boss tu-2 for my old amp(that this was worth like 10 dollars) and that tuner has some scars. I've dropped it on the road like three times, its been thrown across a cafeteria and its been curb stomped and I'm sure if it got shot it would be fine. Plus it tunes like a beast.

Don't you ever take time to play guitar?

Are you not married?!! Don't even have a girlfriend? A dog? A pet turtle, even?

Never got around to it, mostly.

Also, I usually gig a Fender, so who needs a tuner?

Really, it's just that I've never had the spare $100 that I cared to spend on a tuner instead of something else. And now, I've been playing so long that I can tune on the fly during a song if a need arises.

Good setups are my friend.

Re: Best $30 I ever spent on a guitar gadget.

I used a boss tu-2 pedal for the electrics...

Most of my acoustics have onboard electronics with a built in tuner. That's how I roll.

And I use a Sabine Zoid Z-1000 clip on tuner. Although I miss my old Intellatouch Bare Bones model.
