| | | What about the GFS tuner? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKPscBxPVC4
I know Guitar Fetish can be a bit... shady, but it's basically just a re-labeled generic (artec, probably) and seems pretty accurate. Perhaps not as fast, but the screen is actually quite a bit nicer. I'm considering ordering one just 'cause I need a tuner on the cheap.
Sonic Research seems awesome, though. If money wasn't an object (not that the Turbo Tuner is really all that expensive), I'd hop on that no question.

It has a mute/off and a true-bypass out as well. Made of metal, rugged, well built, cool looking, tracks fast and well.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: NYC | | | I hate my tu-3 - every time I try to tune in a hurry (between songs) it sticks or doesn't recognize a note right away . . . it's MUCH worse for guitar, and MUCH MUCH MUCH worse for acoustic guitar |
