Excellent deal on a tuner, if you are looking...

[tubedude]

Musicians Friend, clearance item, $9.99 (reg like $40 something)
QwikTune pedal tuner, has backlit display. Mine came today and even had a 9 volt battery included. Worked fine. Highly suggest this one, built solid too, and has a mute out that you can use while tuning or just use it as a mute button if you need to.
Happy tuning,
P

Getting a guitar tuner that really works accurately has been the bane of my life. Eventually, I suppose I'll get a Peterson, or more likely a half-price knockoff by someone like Beringer when they come out, but in the meantime, this is what I use in the studio:

G-Tune
It's a very sophisticated tuner that gets around almost all of the problems I have with electronic hardware tuners.

I've had my TU-12 for about ten years. Great tuner. I paid like sixty or seventy for it though.

Ten bucks sounds like a good deal for that one though.

i believe to use to backlight function on the quicktune you need the wall wart power supply. i got one on sale, it is heavy-duty.

I've got the trusty Sabine. But at 9.99, that quicktune looks pretty good for an extra that I could keep inline in my set-up.

Anybody have a list of tuners to avoid at all costs?

Damn, I need a new tuner. For gigs I use Carvin thing that doesn't do very well and in the studio a Korg 'Tuning Trainer' from the mid '70's......it's the size and weight of a brick.

10 bucks? Hmmmm......brown truck hasn't been around in awhile.

Its down to $7.99 now with a special code, ask me if you want it.

[Lopp]

Damn. That sounds tempting for gigs.

In the studio and for teching, I use the Peterson VS-1 "Virtual Strobe."

Only $199 for a (kind of) strobe tuner.


I need a rackmount for gigging.

But hell. For $9.99 (or $7.99), it's almost worth it to have as a spare.

Hey, here's another sweet deal on a nice tuner!!!

That's $10.00 cheaper than anywhere else, including ebay!!!
(...they're $46.50 on ebay, check it out)

As far as rackmounts go, the Qwiktune is backlit and lights up at the top where it tells you if its flat, sharp or in tune. I mean, for $12, shipped, why bother with worrying with a rack mount. Run a 20 foot cable out of your slave-out straight to the tuner, you wont even need to put it inline with your guitar signal. Better to keep stuff like that out of the signal path anyway, degrades it.
