Re: Tuner Recommendations...
I still stand by the TU-12H, although they have a newer one that offers open, and flatted tunings, along with the regular chromatic mode ... but I don't know if you want something in a pedal or that has an automatic mute function for stage use, still if your using a volume pedal to mute your sound, then a TU-12H Chromatic tossed on top the amp works great, for something cheaper ... Korg used to make a CA-20 chromatic, and GA-20 guitar/bass
(would handle 5 string basses also) ... they are accurate once you get used to the action/feel of the *LCD* needle, the GA has flat functions (one,two,three,or four flats {half steps down] ).
I believe their chromatic was around $32 US Dollars, and the guitar/bass was around $22, small, would fit in the palm of your hand ( the older ones, the CA-10, and GA-10 were 9V powered and box shaped, the 20's were the same , but were flat like a credit card, and ran off two *AAA* batteries )... myself I'd just stick with a chromatic ... that way you have all the tunings you need. I was impressed with Intellitouch clip-on tuner, nice transpose and learn modes, backlight display to for dark stages, some people have said that it had problems. Although the display is a bit funky, it worked fine for me.
For intonation purposes (set-ups), I swear by the BOSS TU-12H, although for acoustic work the condenser mike in it is kinda lame on the sensitivity side (get one of those plug in clip on transducers for acoustic stuff). Great response from the meter without much overshoot, and exaggerated ripple.
BOSS TU-12H ... :bigok: :fing2: :approve:
