As you get closer to in tune, the indicator dots go from red to yellow to a green that should be visible in sunlight. I only wish the sharp (#) indicator was larger, as I have had mishaps with other tuners by tuning to the sharp note by mistake. The pedal can be powered by a 9V battery (included) or a standard 9V adapter.Ī full-color vertical display shows the string name in giant white LEDs, which is a pleasure to read with aging eyes. The tuner employs true-bypass wiring, which will appeal to many and disappoint those who use the Boss tuner’s buffer to diminish signal loss. It comes defaulted to A-440 and displays that fact when you turn it on. A small button on the side allows calibration from A-415 to A-475. The note detection is as fast as advertised thanks to a 32-bit processor. It is light enough to add little extra weight to your board, but heavy enough to stay put if it is freestanding. The D’Addario tuner’s aluminum enclosure feels solid and is very attractive. Though is sounds like a device to tune your pedals (shouldn’t it be called the Chromatic Tuner Pedal?), it actually tunes the guitar, and is a little over half the size of the Boss TU-2 I have been using forever. Like so many guitarists, I am trying to pack as many pedals as I can on as small a board as possible, so I decided to try out the D’Addario Chromatic Pedal Tuner. Barring those who use the instrument as a pure noise generator, even the most modern of players needs to tune.
