PETERSON RACKMOUNT TUNER MOD

But this one has a Robert Keeley mod that adds to and opens up the low end, and keeps mids and highs better defined. Wicklund is especially fond of deploying the BD-2 with some atmospheric help from her Dunlop EP103 Echoplex Delay on her song “Ghost.” Next, a J. Rockett Archer-one of the hardest working Klon clones in show business.

PETERSON RACKMOUNT TUNER DRIVER

She matches it with the Blues Driver for singing, biting solos. There’s also an MXR Micro Flanger and an Electro-Harmonix POG, which lend a very cool high overtone to bends. Since the Orange 30 is a ’verb-less head, Wicklund uses a T. Rex House Mate Tube Reverb pedal, which she keeps on a hall setting, situated next to her Peterson StroboStomp HD. Reversible display readout, easy to read.Single chromatic tuning mode for guitar and bass.You want more? There’s also an MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay and a Keeley Rotten Apple op-amp fuzz pedal. Their highly accurate rackmount tuners and compact tuners are popular among seasoned pros and everyday musicians alike-in fact, many players' first tuners bore Korg name on their plastic housings. The Pitchclip is a distant cousin of the company's extremely popular Pitchblack pedal tuner. It's one of the smallest tuners of the bunch, with a vivid LED display that pops up at a maximum angle of 120 degrees from its clip. There are no extra bells and whistles programmed into the Pitchclip, only a single chromatic tuning mode that covers the tuning ranges for guitar and bass. My first impression was that the Pitchclip's clip felt loose in my fingers, but I was pleasantly surprised when I clipped it to the Tele's headstock and gave the neck a good shake-the Pitchclip didn't budge. Though the display only tilts up or down, Korg built in the fantastic feature of reversing the display meter on the LED by holding the power button for more than one second. This allowed me to place the tuner pretty much anywhere I wanted and still be able to read the screen.Ĭompared to the PolyTune, the tuning accuracy with the Pitchclip on the Tele was decent. Starting out of tune, I was easily able to pull the notes into an accurate tuning, but it was more difficult to get a perfectly precise read, each string readout wavered between in tune, slightly sharp, and slightly flat. Placing the tuner on the meatier middle part of the headstock helped stabilize the readings a bit, but not completely.

PETERSON RACKMOUNT TUNER PLUS

Calibrated tuning modes for guitar, bass, ukulele, and violin, plus a chromatic tuning mode.However, the accuracy was much improved with the Martin, with only slight shaking on the low E string. Structurally, the COM-80 was a solid little tuner. The clip leading up to its large, Tamagotchi-style LCD screen had a strong and tight bond against both headstocks, aided by the clip's silica gel padding. The device came equipped with calibrated chromatic tuning modes for guitar, bass, violin, and ukulele. It also has an adjustable pitch mode that gave me the option of moving the range between 410 Hz and 450 Hz. The accuracy of the COM-80 against the PolyTune was quite impressive when I corrected the purposefully-out-of-whack tuning of the Telecaster, with a bright and easy to read display to boot.

If the pitch fell flat or rose sharp, the screen quickly changed its color from green (in tune) to orange.

Thankfully, the COM-80 didn't exhibit any sort of pitch 'warble,' which is a common problem with tuners of the clip-on variety.
