LP Trad Pro II Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Saw this on Reverb. $2 and no shipping. If they don't work I'm out $8. Gonna give one to my son, and leave a few stashed around the house. I have 3 Snarks and a Boss TU-3. Batteries will cost more than the tuner. https://reverb.com/item/204704-reverb-clip-on-tuner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LP Trad Pro II Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Let us know how it works. 2 bucks is really cheap! I know. Snarks you can find for around $10. And it comes with a battery. CR 2032 batteries are about $4 for 2 of them. The price alone is what 4 batteries cost. No shipping to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I ordered two more a couple of days ago. I have bought 3 in the past, I gifted two and the one I have works perfectly. I have replaced the battery on it once which is no hassle for me since it uses the same battery as my garage opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 By the way these Reverb tuners are great because they are universal, you can switch modes from guitar to bass to violin to ukulele, etc. I have a planet waves clip on tuner as well that cost me $12 and while it has the advantage of being low profile quality wise is very much the same as the Reverb tuners. When I gifted these Reverb tuners I even gave a replacement battery since those are also so cheap you can get them in packs on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelT Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Well, I don't usually use them but since they're 2.00, I went ahead and ordered 4 of them. I'll probably give 3 of them to friends and bandmates. Thanks for the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappy Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 You folks are great salespeople, I went and ordered three, thnx for the info, needed a few and never really think about it until I take my guitar out. GOOD DEAL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badbluesplayer Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Those are total garbage. I have one and I'm embarrassed to say it's totally useless. I was a little disappointed but not too surprised. Maybe I got a bad one. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my guitar string money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeman Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 My buddy got me one a few years ago. They were handing them out at NAMM. I use it to tune up my guitar when I'm just practicing by myself without my main rig/pedal board. I think it works well enough for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I don’t like clip on tuners, but I have gotten like 10 of Reverb’s 1/4” and xlr cables. Haven’t noticed any noise or sound quality issues yet but I’ve never AB’d them against mogami or lava etc For $7 and $9 I love the cables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I got a bad one. <_< What's bad about it? The one I have and use works really well. When the original battery was staring to die (which makes the tuner act out) I replaced it with a good battery and no issues at all. I used to not be a fan of clip-on tuners but they are very convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to not be a fan of clip-on tuners but they are very convenient. The one clip on tuner I hated was the Planet Waves one. That one was so slow to react. I put my Snark and Planet Waves one on my guitar and tuned it plugged into my TU-3 and the Snark was right on, but the PW was off. It got pitched.

LP Trad Pro II Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Here it is. Came today. They are worth $2 but maybe not $3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelT Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I got mine last night, tuned up using it, tuned up using my other two tuners and they were all the same. It's accurate and convenient. It has tunings for guitar, bass, violin, ukulele and chromatic. I bought four of them and I'm keeping one, gave one to my son and giving a couple others to friends. For two bucks and free shipping in the US, it's worth it. I don't expect it to last forever and will probably only use it for home convenience. My son likes his though on his Strat.
