Planet Waves Tru-Strobe Tuner
The Tru-Strobe Tuner is extremely accurate and sensitive, the purest input tone will yield the best results.
Here are a couple of hints to achieve this:
- Pluck the string with a light to moderate stroke. Strings will usually go slightly sharp right after the initial attack. Excessive or heavy plucking of the string will increase this effect. Give the string a second to "settle" before tuning.
- Pluck the string with the flesh of your thumb. This will yield less harmonic information for the tuner to analyze then using a pick.
- Turn the tone knob of the instrument down. This again will roll off high-end harmonic details and input a more fundamental tone.
- Lower the volume of the guitar 30% - 50%. This will usually yield less harmonic detail and input gain.
- While course tuning look at the entire display for movement. When the action of the LED's begin slowing to a halt, look at the leading LED for movement and continue to tune until the LED stops in place.
