IPA or death Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 I like to tune my acoustic down 1/2 step and would like a good chromatic tuner to help with that. Any suggestions for an accurate but economic model I might try? Thanks for any help. Quote
DC Ross Posted June 26, 2010 Report Posted June 26, 2010 For about $20, I like the Korg CA-30. If you're looking for a clip-on, the Fishman FT-1 is a good deal. Quote
Workingman Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 +1 on the Korg. I had a chance to check mine against a piano tuners tuning forks and it was dead on. Quote
IPA or death Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Posted June 28, 2010 The CA-30 has been discontinued by Korg and the replacement is the CA-1 (don't know how you go from 30 back to 1 but whatever ). I bought one off Ebay for $15 which is more than fair imo. We'll see how she does. Thanks for the suggestions guys. Quote
Xaromir Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 Why no peterson? Yes they are expansive, but i'm convinced that they are worth it. But i also got a korg ca 30 and it's mostly ok for what it costs, don't know how good or bad the ca 1 is. Unlike workingman's korg mine is off 2hz though, can be adjusted, but it worries me a bit. Peterson also got a clip-pickup which actually comes with the stroboflip, but it can be bought separately, apparently it even can be used with every chromatic tuner. So if you want that feature without buying a tuner that's not very versatile, then maybe the peterson is the way to got http://www.long-mcquade.com/products/402/G...ning_Pickup.htm Quote
DC Ross Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 Awesome, thanks for the heads-up on that Peterson clip-on. I've been looking for a good way to use my Strobostomp with acoustics. Here's the latest version (TP-3) on StewMac. Quote
erikbojerik Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 If you have an iPhone, the Peterson is $10 and dead accurate. Quote
Xaromir Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 If you have an iPhone, the Peterson is $10 and dead accurate. The build-in mic is no good though, a adapter cable can be bought from peterson though, the piezo clip-on pup should then also work with it i guess. Should a overall 40$ or something like that. Quote
Tim37 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 another vote for the korg i have had mine for a couple of years now no problems so far and if i was to have any hell it was only a few bucks. Quote
