that's certainly not true.Dani Pace said:Each click of the calibrate button(s) will either raise (>) or lower (<) the note by a half step (one fret on the guitar). Turn the unit off then back on to reset it to standard (A=440). It's a handy feature if you want to tune lower (or higher) than standard tuning and still have the guitar in tune with itself.

You might be thinking of the "sound/note select" button. Calibrate adjusts the value of A above or below 440Hz. I have the tuner in front of me at the moment and that is what the calibrate buttons do.Dani Pace said:Sorry to burst your bubble guys, but I've got one and what I described is exactly what mine does. I prefer to call it "transpose" but Korg calls it calibrate.

I have owned one for about 3 years now, and I kept thinking to myself that my instrument did not sound right. Only today did I get my older Korg tuner - Korg Digital Tuner DT-2 (led) out and tuned with both tuners on. No doubt about it, my CA-30 is NOT on the note. My ear can hear the chime of the notes dead on 0 with my older Korg, while my CA-30 is almost 1/2 step flat. I am a semi-pro alternative banjo player (As far as I have got is mp3s and air play / artist of the month on Song Planet.com, so I am not a pro at all) and my father is an old timer bluegrass banjo player that also noticed his tuning did not seem right with his ca-30. I also had problems when jamming with a guitar player because if we each tuned by our own tuners we were far off in pitch and could never get in key unless one of us re-tuned by ear to the other. Now I know it was my tuner. (imho)the CA-30 is an awesome little tuner.
Yeah, shitcan that crappy Korg and get a Peterson.
I think you're about 4 years too late. He's probably quit playing by now.This forum won't let me post links, so here's the best I can do:
try this:
google search "howtotuneaguitar"
Also, I've had some really good luck with my peterson strobostomp2. It's a strobe tuning stomp box. It's hands down the best tuner made. Peterson is the authority on tuning and it can be used to intonate a multitude of instruments including violin, piano, etc...

google search "guitar center and stobostomp2"
rock on folks!
