What is the best chromatic guitar tuner? My Boss TU-8 is unreliable, especially w/ intonation?

Jun 11, 2009 by Gumby | Posted in Performing Arts

Preferably something $100 or less and something very reliable. I have a lot of guitars to set up so accurate intonation is key.
My tuner's reliability isn't in question, it was meant as a statement. Disregard the incorrect punctuation. Thanks

The one most shops use is the Boss TU-12H - has high & low settings plus you can plug it in to a Boss 9V power supply so you don't run down the battery. Really accurate. They go for about $80.

There are some things for which one must pause. Pause—even from such enticing distractions as men without briefs, legal ones that is; pause—even from plumbing such mysteries as the right time to walk—as the United Labour Front (ULF) understood in 1988 in rescuing itself early from the National Alliance for Reconstruction (NAR) implosion to come; pause—even from the beckoning implications of the Tobago House of Assembly (THA) election morphing into a national referendum on the Government's performance.

Yes, temptation be stilled. For today, we pause to bow before the force that was Bertie Marshall .

For the story of Bertie Marshall as steelpan scientist, pan pioneer and tuner extraordinaire, I recommend to you Dalton Narine's documentary and the ongoing discussion on the excellent internet discussion forum " When Steel Talks ". There you'll find steelband legends comfortably mingling with aficionados in what is possibly the most informed and engaged site on all matters Pan.

Boss Guitar Tuner Pedal | Art Scentric

by Parket Hip

I’ve always been a bit of a shock to the head when he was tuning my guitar, but is not a pedal I could not live without: my Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner.Then you will understand how excited I was when on my new BOSS TU-3 comes in the mail today. I want to run down the specifications for all other tech-geeks and gear-there:

* The 21-segment LED meters with adjustable brightness – there is also a high brightness mode that improves the visibility settings meters outdoors, cutting through the toughest tiles off and allows the user to see the LED screen, even under direct sunlight.

* The Accu-Pitch Sign provides a visual control to the user when the adjustment is complete.

* The chromatic Guitar / Bass mode allows the user to adjust the string of numbers, now with added support for 7-string guitar and 6-string basses.

* Flat Tuning says something very practical in fact called Guitar “mode. Basically, this little number allows the user to take advantage of a flat drop tunings or tuning” Flat six semitones below standard pitch. Wow!

What strings do you use, Dave Kilminster? And finally I'm really fussy about tuning, so my third pedal would have to be my trusty Boss TU-2 tuner. GT: Do you play another instrument well enough to be in a band? DK: Actually I played bass on one of the songs on the Roger Waters tour.
