Chromatic Pedal Tuners

As a musician, I like to do research on musical instrument and gadgets that can help a musician be more creative. There are a few basic needs one must be able to accomplish before someone will stop and listen. The most important thing to master while learning to play the guitar or bass is to play it in tune.

Tuners come in a wide variety of shape and size. There is a wide population of performers that have as wide an opinion of what is a good guitar tuner. My opinion is like the many others, based on personal preference and years of using different models.

There are basic mic operated tuning devices available to tune acoustic instruments. Some of these are stand alone models that you hold in front of the sound hole of the guitar. You preset the note to tune, hit the string and tune up or down until you reach the required pitch.

The clip on models measure the pitch by vibrations. One advantage of this type is the accessibility of the unit during a performance. It can stay clipped on the instrument until it is ready to use again and again.

The blow type or the pitch fork tuners are great if you have a real good ear for tuning. This can be developed over time, but I still trust the use of a quality piece of equipment to get the job done.

Pedal tuners were invented to fill the demand of the electric guitars/bass. These have a plug in and a plug out so the musician can re-tune during a performance with the convenience of hitting a switch with their foot to turn it on and off.

This is where the Chromatic comes in. It would be inconvenient if the guitar player had to bend down and set each note manually. With 6 strings to get right, it would be a workout indeed. The Chromatic Pedal Tuners allow the musician to preset a particular setting, hit each string one at a time. The tuner will recognize the pitch and indicate whether the pitch should be set higher or lower.

The basic units will do the job it is intended to do, but may not have many options. Lighting is important and visibility of the LEDs or the strobe even more. One great feature for these units is the ability to tune to different pitches, like the drop D.

Silence is golden when a tuner has the capability of True Bypass. All seasoned musicians know the importance of this feature. This may not be required for the basement gig player that never gets out in front of a rowdy crowd.

On my website, I turn my research into reviews of most brands of Chromatic Pedal Tuners. The guides pages give insight while the reviews pages describe the various makes and models on the market today.

Knowledge is the power to make the right decision.
