Hooray for the courier service and Sonic Research. I placed the order for one of these babies on thursday and it arrived at my door via courier this morning. :applause:

















Plugged it in and all i can say is man this thing is awesome, its like chalk & cheese, so its time to retire my TU-2. I read on some forums about this pedal afetr looking into a possible Polytune buy, mailed some guys and they said id be silly to buy one of them over something of this caliber. then i checked out the Youtube clip in the comparison. It smoked the polytune with tracking speed, which is what i was initially looking for, something that tracks quick and accurate for on stage. This thing tracks well while playing scales, its freaking amazing, also has some custom tuning storage space for open tunings which i will load on later. One downside some ppl complain about is the strobe effect but i'm ok with tuning to the strobe.

0.02 cent accuracy, did a comparison with the TU-2 and i noticed a slight difference in the pitch but its not that big. thing i did not like about the boss was the tracking speed and like all other tuner as well, the innacuracy of the "sweet" spot, they drop accuracy when in the green, if i tuned and landed in the green zone, then came back a little later id always be a little sharp, which sucked.

Anyways, Turbo tuner for the win, the even loaded it with a battery & they have not pre stuck the under rubber on, so i can paste my velcro directly on for my board. Now i gotta get to that manual to figure out how to set in the custom tunings and all the extra stuff.

Check out the videos on youtube on this thing, not many but very informative and nice comparisons to the competition.
    Congrats man.

    Never seen or even heard of them before. i really like the idea of not pre sticking the rubber on i think all pedals should come like that.. ?
      Congrats, I personally find them awfully confusing with the spinning thingy which never stays still so I would just tune between left spinny and right spinny..
        =

        Its super fast !! ?
        Can anyone explain the display to me ? its super confusing..

        Whats the price on one of these??
          its fairly easy to explain, when it spins clockwise you are flat so you need to sharpen the note, anti clockwise spin is sharp and you need to flatten, when the strobe is steady its tuned in. I took me a couple of minutes to get the hang of the revolving screen. Its VERY sensitive, i pluck the note and tune up on the hang, once it stops spinning, i'm in. A second pluck with the finger confirms tuning & the techinique works. it all goes very quickly.

          i manage to get the strobe pretty damn steady when tuning with the gibson green tuning pegs, but there is quite a difference in accuracy between them and the schaller locking on my fender which are more precise and hit it pretty much dead on.

          I jammed with the band last night, usually i never used to notice dropping in tuning between songs with the other tuners, now i do. I thought my guitars stayed in tune pretty well until now. Here comes the OCD ?

          Great for intonation setting. I had to reset mine as it was a bit off.

          you buy straight from the manufacturer on their website, https://www.turbo-tuner.com

          it was $129.99, they are pretty pro, sent confirmation of payment and shipped a couple of hours later. I also took the speedy del option for a couple of rand extra, think its a 4 day delivery.



            Congrats Needleshy. New toys are always exciting. have fun! :applause:
              I thought it was New Plectrum Day ?

                The poly can switch to the swirly look too, I also just find it a bit confusing.
