Take a look at the Peterson StroboFlip. Has presets by Jeff Newman and Buddy Emmons. I really like mine.

I have a Boss that I might be willing to sell. They are great tuners.

The Korg CA30 will do the job and it fits the budget for someone who is limited on funds. It's not fancy, but it works. I've been using one for years.

| Ditto on the CA-30. I can spend time telling you the small faults of it and what you get if you spend more $$ but I've not found a better tuner for the price and it totally works. If you are serious about limited budget, this is a winner. |

| Korg CA-30 does what you need for about $20.00. There are better ones, but none better for the money... |

| I have a Korg CA-30 as a back-up tuner. It works as well as most. And it's cheap. Don't forget to bring a small flashlight, the display is very hard to see in dim light. |

When I bought my CA-30, they had another Korg for a little more $$ that had a lighted dial. I wish I gotten one; other than that, it's great. I start tuning with string 10 one hertz sharp, which brings me up to 444hz on the third string. What else do you need?

I'm using a Korg LCA-120. $60. Flip-top tuner with nice sized, lighted, LCD display dial. 1 set of programmable off-sets. Small and nicely built too. I love it.

Isn't there a tuner that will work while resting on the body?
Has anyone tried one? |

I tried to use a clip-on tuner with my steel, but there was nowhere on my Emmons where I could attach it! The guitar's body is only just too thick. They work fine clipped on to the headstock of a regular guitar, though.
My favourite - 'though it's not the cheapest out there - is the Boss TU 12H.

I don't feel the LCD needles are as accurate as real needles; anyone have a different scientific view or observation? Lighted diodes are the worst.
I've used a BOSS TU-12 for years; wish it had a lighted dial, and auto-off, it somehow turns itself on in my pack-a-seat and eats batteries, dang. But it's super reliable. A series of early KORG tuners, albeit sold and recommended by Tom Bradshaw at the time, all went haywire and were unreliable.
I also have a BOSS TU-15, it does have a lighted dial, and other nice things; but in some club situations where a DJ is blaring, this tuner hears all that through the pickups and just won't settle in as easily as the TU-12. Anyone else experience that? Is there a fix for that?
I don't yet have personal experience with the Peterson digital strobe tuners, do need to try those out soon.

The strobo flip is great with its presets but take time to read all the other comments about that tuner on SGF. I still use mine but I unplug my guitar and plug the tuner in and tune and then hook the steel back up. Any common combination of trying to get it in the line causes a tone loss or a hum. I'm still experimenting other suggestions from the SGF. I suggest a good name tuner that will tune to the sweetened tunings.  Good Luck |

I use a korg 30, and it is right on. And very reasonable too.
