How it Works:
Digital Guitar Tuner Mode: The top center green light indicates when the tone is exactly right while the lighted red arrows to either side indicate a flat or sharp tone.
This digital guitar tuner has a built in microphone to receive analog signals from acoustic guitars. Electric guitars can be tuned easily by means of a cord connection between the tuner and the guitar.
Pitch Pipe Mode is provided if you are relying on your hearing more than your eyes.
Pros: Best deal for a beginner
- Cheap
- Combines a basic tuner ( standard guitar tuning only) with a handy chord lookup feature
- Do both acoustic guitar tuning and electric guitar tuning
- Two tuning modes: Pitch pipe for ear training and digital guitar tuner for faster and better accuracy
- A library full of chords at your fingertips, providing 250 preloaded chords
- Light and fits in your palm
- Can “hear” the note from a few feet away in an environment relatively free from ambient noise
- Auto off feature
Cons: It won’t make you the next Eddie Van Halen (Umm … neither do other tuners)
- Made of plastic but relatively sturdy
- Can’t tune other than standard tuning (But guitar newbies don’t need drop tuning anyway)
- Requires an environment relatively free from ambient noise to hear the instrument. Tuning electric guitar should not be a problem because you can plug the guitar cord into this unit
If you are a totally guitar newbie this tool can help you learn guitar faster. You really can’t expect better than this because for less than ten bucks you will get guitar chords chart and guitar tuner.
