Suggestions For A Very High Contrast, Very Bright Non-LCD Tuner

I just had to sell my new Strobostomp because the display on it did not have enough contrast for me to easily see when standing up. It also had an LCD screen, so whenever you moved slightly away from right over it, the degree of contrast lessened. I'm legally blind and high color and value contrast is key to me seeing something.

I had been using the tuner on my GT-6B as it was pretty easy to see being bright green LEDs on a black background with fairly large letters, but I've taken it out of my rig. I'm also not a fan of how it tracked, so the Boss TU-2 is not one of the tuners I want.

It doesn't have to be footswitchable (I'm attaching it to my Switchbone which has a tuner on/off switch) nor does it need an output. Just really accurate, high value and color contrast LEDs, and the LEDs should be as big as possible.

Thanks!!

 

Thanks, Kevin.

I also just saw the Planet Waves chromatic tuner online, which seems to have a large readout and high color/value contrast....can anyone attest to how easy it is to see this pedal whilst standing, and if a half-blind guy could see it?

 

Actually I always use lines- and side dots right under the lines, and one bass I had made with bright red LEDs for side dots.....I need all the help I can get

the way my vision works is that the visual acuity depreciates much, much quicker with distance than normal folks. A couple centimeters from my eye and it's not that much worse than normal, a foot away is pretty bad and I'll need heavy glasses (+9) and bifocals to be able to read, and fifty feet away I'll see almost no detail at all.

Avoiding rack stuff as my rack's full and I'd rather not have to get a whole other rack just to fit in a tuner.

Hmmm...I may have to live with the somewhat whackadoo tracking if there's not many options a lot better than that

 

These have quite a big display- don't know how bright their LEDs are in real life though..

 

I'd like to avoid any of the stick-on, Intellitouch-style tuners. But this one:


has promise- there's a gap in my rack setup that's 1 3/4" high and 4" wide- nothing's small enough as far as rack gear goes to fit in there. This tuner is 1 3/8" x 3 3/4" wide- pretty much a perfect fit when adding in heavy-duty velco tape and maybe a thin layer of foam to either side.

It's got the right specs and seems to be bright- anyone know how well it handles a low B?

 

Just realized the Sabine's input is on the side, not the back, so it would be just a tiny bit too long to fit into my available rack section with a RA plug in it

 

I'm going to stay away from the same color/contrast/LCD screen that gave me trouble for now. Thanks anyways Josh

 

Picked up the Chromatic Waves tuner- the spaces for the the LEDs are really large, very bright, and very red and green I can't really make out the letter of the note I'm tuning to whilst standing, but that's not necessary as I know the note I'm trying to tune to. I have no idea how accurate it is , but it's very easy for me to see.
