Good 7 String Tuner?

[timmyg1978]

Shouldn't this be in Gear and Equipment?

Probably so, that's my bad, I didn't notice that forum until after I posted this. Can it be moved? Sorry bout that;^]

I've found if you turn your volume knob down on the guitar it gets a quicker read, at least on the one built into my Genesis 3 Pod. We really need a couple of good pocket tuners, though. Not being able to tune until you have your rack set up is not ideal. I think I might try the Korg, supposedly they have em at Wal Mart.

I found another trick for my sabine that allows me to tune open instead of harmonics. Instead of running in then out to my gnx3, I run straight into my gnx3 and use digi output to my board and mono out to the sabine. Clean channel still acts the same but if I kick on the distortion it picks up no problem;^]

Seiko ST767. Small and cheap guitar, bass, or chromatic tuner. Will tune to any note. I've had it for 5-6 years.

flip to your neck pickup, and roll the tone all the way off, and the volume at about 75%, and you get WAY cleaner readings

try tuning by picking the string with your finger instead of the pick.
when fingerpicking, the fundamental tends to be stronger than when using a pick--and a tuner has to read the lowest fundamental in order determine the note you're tuning.

korg pitch black here, we (devilsclub) use em for our 7's we drop to A and an 8 string, always picks the note right up. $89.99

I agree, awesome tuner for the cash, my bass player uses one to tune his 5 string to drop A

Boss Tu80 €25 for a solid accurate tuner

I have a Korg GA-30 and it works great. My only complaint is I can't figure out a way to use it when I tune up a step from standard but it's only one string so I can trust my ear

 

[timmyg1978]

Got my korg ga 30 & it's ok, still have to fine tune with the keyboard on my low A but worth the $10 I payed for it. I'm hoping that once I get my new pups my sabine will pick it up better & I can just use the korg for my bass. We'll see;^]

Korg - Product Details

I have one of those and it works pretty well.

i have the black one like that, the CA-30 and it works wonders.

i always had trouble tuning with the built-in mic so i always tuned with it plugged to the guitar.

I'm glad to hear that. I have a pitch black and I havent tuned a 7 with it (yet). But its good to know that its going to work because that tuner rocks and I would cry if it didnt haha. not really but I would look like this guy ->

Thanks!

I use this Korg

Electric Guitar Tuner | Bass | Korg GA-40

I had it before I had a 7 string and it made me happy when I saw it pick up '7B'. It picks up drop tunings on my bass guitar no troubles as well, so I assume it will handle some pretty brutal tunings.

why pay $100 for a tuner? i mean im just asking out of curiosity because the only time i ever need it to register the low A is then im intonating. everything else i do with harmonic tuning and all i ever use the tuner for is to tune the low E, then match everything up to that. works every time

I have TU-1, pitchblack, snark and Intellitough clip on tuners. My clip on tuners are becoming my favorites.
