We all know the expression "Close enough for jazz/rock etc? Well with this
unit you had best hope that that is close enough..I have been using an Intellitouch headstock tuner, as
well as a Korg electronic tuner..The Planet Waves looked cool, so what the heck, whats twenty five
bucks eh? First of all the instructions are those "version in every language on the planet" things that
means that each language gets like 3 paragraphs of information. Not sufficient. So problem one
instruction manual does not instruct.
Unit also has several 'modes' of tuning.. One is a direct plug in to a 1/4" jack for an electric
guitar etc, the other is a vibration sensor, to be used with acoustic guitars or on the headstock of an electric.
Means of telling if you are in tune or not is a dial with a rotating strobe light thingy, that is suppose to turn green when your string is tuned to perfect pitch...WRONG...
Here is where the 'close enough for jazz" comes in... When or even IF you can figure out how to read the
'strobe' tuner, and you tune it just to where it should be the best, you are still at least 3 cents flat or
sharp,(That means that musicians will grind their teeth, but most non players will never know the difference) no biggie you say.. ok then close enough is good enough.. If it is not then I would skip the Planet
Waves Multi-function CT-02 and buy something that allows you to tune your guitar close enough for MUSIC..
However if you play sounds that "will turn tree toads sterile at 100 yards" This unit may be just the thing
for you...
