Thundergod Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I was checking MF for some prices on the mods i´ve made to my epi, and came onto this: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/NTune-On-Board-Chromatic-Electric-Guitar-Tuner?sku=210105 So... has any of you used that? it seems nice but i wonder if it is as acurate as a profesional tuner (korg, peterson strobotuner, or even the boss tuner pedal (which i own and like very much).

DoubleSixx Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Are planning on doing this mod on your Epiphone ? Some problems come to my mind, but could have some simple solutions. Doesn't your Epi have EMGs ? The pots on EMGs are 25k not 500k like the one N-Tune offers for Les Pauls and humbuckers. I think you could still use this if someone makes a 25k push/pull pot. You could re-attach the wires and use N-Tune's pot as a guide. Now that I think of it, someone told me you can lower the ohms by using resistors, so you maybe you can use the kit as is, I don't know what type of resistors you'd need. Oh almost forgot, find out if the pot is Linear taper or Audio taper. Linears are best for volume controls. If you use and Audio for volume there will be some drop off when you roll the control, that doesn't happen with a Linear potentiometer. Good luck.

Thundergod Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 I dont have that in mind really, i´m acustomed to my stomp box tuner... but i found this thing a little useful so i wanted to know if some of you had used one. Thanks for the quick reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveinspain Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Very cool idea!!! Of course it doesn't tune the guitar for you like a Robot does. It's just like having a built in tuning meter on the guitar but then again a lot of guys have one on their pedal boards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 yes... this gismo would be half of the poormans robot... the other half is the poor man himself hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet22 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I've gotta say, that looks awesome. I'm very interested. I don't do pedals, and carrying round a little tuner on a lead is a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Neat...I wouldn't put that in a Gibson, though. Maybe a lower end guitar first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
