Boss TU-2 chromatic tuner....

[jhale667]

Just to summarize this ELVIS says he doesn't have a tuner but agrees you do need one if you do gigs.

So basically all we've learned from him in this thread is that he has been playing in his bedroom for 35 years and it's quiet in there...

Plus that he knows more than anyone else here because he just does - OK?

Yup, he's a self-appointed expert on everything... a regular jackass of all trades...

lets summarize...........

3 points to set intonation.....12th fret harmonic, one string & fretted note at 12th fret all need to match........

TUNERS are essential to gigging.....yes, if you've played forever you can tune by ear....BUT a tuner gets it PERFECT...or as close to perfect as most guitars get

[Diamondjimi]

I've been playing bedrooms and bars for 35 years and never owned a tuner...

Anyway, it's not difficult at all to set intonation without a tuner and a tuner doesn't automatically equal 100% success...

What good is tuning by ear if you are going to subject the audience of 5 to the high-volume sounds of you taking 5 minutes just to tune a string by ear?

That is the other important reason to have an inline tuner (so you can tune SILENTLY, as well as accurately).

But then, Elbow can stand there in his bedroom with his Rockstar Combo Amp for 20 minutes going "dow...dowdow.....dow....dow...dow...dowwwwww....." and the only person it will bother is his husband. Or maybe not, if his husband is a stupid as he is.

And yes, I have a TU-2, and also an NS-1. And to round out my stompboxes, I have an original Ibanez TS-9. I have no need for anything else.

You should NEVER subject an audience of any size to audible tuning, it's disrespectful as well as amateurish.

Well when your "audience" is some stuffed animals, a poster of Ronald Reagan, and Alex Jones on the TV I think you're pretty safe.....

Only time I've broken that rule, was when I didn't have my usual rig with me. Had to use someone elses Flextone, and I didn't know jack or shit about the inner workings of that thing...

That'd be a (rare) exception obviously, not your fault if it wasn't your rig. I bring a hand-held (now clip-on) tuner in addition to the one on my board, in case I break a string, or hey, what if I want to tune at some hot girl's table between sets...?

[Coyote]

Yeah, I gotta get me one of those...

I highly recommend the Peterson Stroboclip. Love mine.

Especially being a pro like you, eh ??

I have an original Ibanez TS-9. I have no need for anything else.

To do what, collect unemployment and play I dream of being a homo rock queen all day ??
