Quick POD Questions

[ericmeyer4]

I have a PODxt and I was wondering how accurate is the tuner? I've mainly been using a Boss TU-8. I am working on a pedal board and I was hoping that I could eliminate this tuner and use the POD's instead. Is it about the same accuracy?

Probably. The tuner on the actual POD is more accurate than the software tuner that comes with GuitarPort or Gear Box. I have a Korg DT-10 that I use live and I'd say it's only marginally more accurate than the PODxt's tuner.

That is good to know. I don't play out and when I did everyone in the band used the same tuner so we would all be in tune with each other.

I just didn't want to be playing along to a Cd and be way out lol.

I wouldn't say it's the same accuracy. Its the Pod tuner good enough? Yes.

An example. Say you want to adjust the intonation on a guitar. I'd only use a Peterson Strobe tuner, or in the alternative (less expensive) the Boss TU-8 due to accuracy.

The Pod tuner is good enough to tune the guitar and for everyday performance, but I wouldn't say it's accurate enough to make intonation adjustments

Re: Quick POD Questions

I use the Pod XT's tuner for tuning and intonation adjustments, and I'm quite satisfied with it. Don't rely on the FBV foot controller's screen for tuning though - for reasonable precision you need to actually look at the Pod's screen.
