DAS44 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 1. Is an expensive and highly accurate tuner needed for setting intonation? (I know its reccomended but....) all for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXE® Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Yar!!! A digital chromatic will do the trick just fine matey. A cent here and there combined with vibrato and fret pressure changes everything any way> Yar!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Take this from a guy who's bought over $50,000 worth of gear... The best $100 I ever spent was on this; http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?ProductId=122&ParentId=262 Without it - you suck. Trust me. :-) I was thinking about buying a nice tuner and, like you, I resisted spending the money. I started looking at what the pros use and I kept seeing this one onstage. Players raved about it. I figured it was high as hell, being "professional quality" and all, turns out to be $100. Worth much more, believe me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXE® Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I love the pedal. But for "practical" bench work. Not so much. Practical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Nope. EASY! And cheaper. A good tuner will teach you a thing or two about yer guitar too. I realized that when tuning I was applying back pressure on the headstock of my 335, pulling it slightly sharp. Never noticed it on a solid body. Either way, I made a decision to stop doing it. Accuracy is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Oh, and spend the extra bucks for a power supply. Costs too much? What do you think you'll spend on batteries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAS44 Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 ^ That looks hard... well it tells you the note the hz so Its simple cheaper I like it. AXE is on a roll today.... tlakin like a pirate agrees with 'im Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Its simple cheaper I like it. Biggest difference; TU-12 is for bench work like Axe sez. Drawback is that it's plastic and doesn't like being dropped or jerked around by the cord. (Yes' date=' it WILL happen.)[/b'] TU-2 is a stompbox for the floor - built like a tank. Works as a mute pedal too. Lit so you can see it in the dark. Easy to use. Tough as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXE® Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 From what I understand the functioning part if the guts a virtually the same. One has an enclosure like a bomb shelter and the other... not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBudfrumHull_SG Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I love the pedal. But for "practical" bench work. Not so much. Practical. I've got the exact same thing , no problems whatsoever. The advantage of the stompbox is that it's lit , a big advantage on stage, but at home ....

Laney1566 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I had a Boss TU12 that I gave to a friend in need. I forgot about it being a good bench tuner and regreted it later. I bought a Inexpensive Korg I use to check out intonation when changing strings. I just traded in my TU-2 for a Korg PitchBlack and I love it. Got it for $89 at my local store.
