ROADIE 3 | Smart Automatic Guitar Tuner, Metronome & String Winder | For Electric Guitars, Acoustic Guitars, 12-String Guitars, Ukulele, Banjo, Mandolin | 100+ Alternate Tunings

Product Information

The built-in winder is great for restringing and rapidly tuning to pitch without removing the Roadie 3 from your tuning gear, but you’ll have to switch from “Winder” to the “Tuner” function with your thumb to finish the task. I like the four directional menu pad and once you get a feel for navigating the menus, it’s easy to use. It goes without saying that being in tune is always a good thing, but the accuracy of the StroboClip HD enables you to experiment with ‘sweetened tunings’ too. It ships with a library of 50 sweetened tunings for a variety of instruments from banjos to brass including, of course, guitar.

It serves as a control center for your tuning experience when using any of the Roadie Tuner products (the original Roadie Tuner, Roadie 2, Roadie Bass and Roadie 3). Through the app, you will also receive the latest firmware updates and feature improvements for your Roadie Tuner device. Go into the Metronome menu and it will immediately start counting using beeps and vibration pulses. On the main menu if you scroll down past tuner, you’ll see Metronome followed by Winder, then Settings.

How To Tune Using Roadie 3 While there aren’t any other automatic tuners out there apart from the Roadie 2, there are plenty of different types of tuners. Polyphonic: The second type of tuner is polyphonic. Just as with pitch-shifters or synths, 'polyphonic' simply means that the tuner can process multiple notes at once. The downside, of course, is that this is harder to show to the user. They can be incredibly useful live, however, as you can strike all the strings to see if everything lights up green.

This feature will constantly turn in one direction to either completely loosen your strings, or tighten them. Either way, this is very useful as you can restring and tune without having to flip between tuning mode and winding mode.
