Chromatic tuner or Wah pedal?

[Kuchar1992]

I have a distortion, a limiter enhancer, a phaser and I'm getting a flanger and overdrive in the mail pretty soon. If I sell my Xbox, I hope to get $150. Should I get a wah pedal or a chromatic tuner?

Tuner for sure.

tuner is the one thing every pedalboard should have... except if you have racktuner

It's sort of like asking whether you should buy a hammer or a yo-yo for your toolbox. A hammer is a more useful tool, but a yo-yo is a more fun thing to play with.

Hahaha the tuner is the hammer in your analogy

bongomania, you've just opened my eyes - every toolbox should have a yo-yo!

I have a tape measure that does a pretty good job at doubling as a yo-yo. I can ealk the dog for days!

OP, get the tuner. Get a Sonic Research Turbo Tuner to be exact. You won't be disappointed!

Get the tuner, but don't go insane about which one.

All properly functioning tuners at any price are more accurate than your bass itself.

Go for one you can SEE, that won't break and doesn't interfere with your signal. All else is commentary.

ST-122 or ST-200?

The tuner is going to be used much much more. But my wah is soo much fun

ST-122 or ST-200?

I had to dig it out of my bag! ST-200. Incredible bit of electronic wizardry.

Get a good quality hamm...i mean tuner. Save the Yo-Yo pedal for later.

tuners are overrated

(ok, i had a stupid clown for breakfast ... to be more constructive get a tuner, i love my TC PolyTune ... iPhone App!)

Go used, and get both.

You can pick up a Boss TU-2 used on the cheap. Still works fine as a tuner, just an older model with less bells and whistles.

The mute switch function on a tuner is also amazingly useful.

I was thinking about that. Getting a used wah and a new tuner.

This.

And sig hint hint

Tuner. I use my tuner all the time, wah very seldom. I have a Korg- relatively cheap, true bypass, mutes when engaged. Boss TU's have the ability to split signal, though, if that's something you're interested in.
