Re: Best tuner for using many different guitars and basses with different tunings?
I currently use the Boss Chromatic Tuner and get great results. I typically only do standard E or Eb, but it's more than capable of getting other tunings.

cool, that sounds like the tuner for me, thanks Mad-Max, I hate my tc polytune
the polytune function doesnt work, and the algorithm keeps turning it on when I use it for single strings

Re: Best tuner for using many different guitars and basses with different tunings?
I've been abusing a TU-2 for almost a decade. It is an immortal, reliable little tank. Tomorrow I will receive 2 new KORG tuners (a Pitch Black and a clip-on) that I ordered for a friend. I am curious about them as my tuner before the TU-2 was a magnificient KORG chromatic piano tuner that was sharp like a sniper. I can make a little A/B test if you like.

The Boss TU 3 is a pretty great tuner/power supply. It goes down 6 1/2 steps for guitar and 3 for bass plus has a chromatic setting as well. It is all around better then the last version TU 2 which I still have 15 years later on my travel/jam board but that will also do what you want.Originally posted by OinkusI had Big Flannel over here the other night , cleaned up his Tele and did some setup on it , took out the camera and set it down on the desk.

Re: Best tuner for using many different guitars and basses with different tunings?
I use a hardwire, not the poly, the normal one. I know what notes are supposed to be what for each tuning, so it works fine. It is a little slow, and below B is gets slower. I don't remember TU-2's having that problem, can anyone vouch for a TU-3 tuning low A?

Re: Best tuner for using many different guitars and basses with different tunings?
thanks yall for the feedback
I read up a bit about the tc polytune before I bought, but it's merits did not ultimately shine through for me; that polytune function just does not work at all at any level for me and the algorithm just turns on the polytune mode automatically for like every other string I try to single-tune...
the tu-3 seems to be the tried and true and is the best selling boss pedal and I appreciate the positive reviews for it here. yet I am still fascinated by gas propelling for turbo tuner etc for their various merits... Ill prolly mull this over for a few months

Re: Best tuner for using many different guitars and basses with different tunings?
Not sure it´s exactly what you´re after but the Korg pitchblack+ has dual inputs and you can set two pre-defined tuning modes per input to make multiple tunings easier.

Re: Best tuner for using many different guitars and basses with different tunings?
I have two boards one has a Boss TU2 and ther a TU3. The TU3 is a bit brighter and easier to see outside. Personally the best tuner I have ever owned is a BOSS. TU12. I have this on my bench and use it to setup/intonate any instrument. The needle is very accurate"So you will never have to listen to Surf music again" James Marshall Hendrix
