qwvb1111 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Greetings, first of all I would like to ask, do you guys recommend using tuner inside the amp? I have a tuner which connect the electric guitar using cable but its not very stable. And I think amp`s tuner will be better? Ive read the manual, press&hold the button for tuner, but in tuner mode, no matter how I twist, sometimes 2 led lits, sometimes 1... I dont know how can I check if all strings are on tune... https://line6.com/data/6/0a020a3d179c05847543573a7e/application/pdf/Spider%20Classic%2015%20Pilot's%20Guide%20-%20English%20.pdf This is the link of the manual of my amp. If you are so kind to teach me i will be very grateful. Or if you have better choice on tuner, please tell me, since I`m just thinking that it will be a waste if i dont use what I have...

lumper Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Well it sounds like you found the tuner. So, if I understand you right, your having a problem getting the strings to show centered on the tuner? meaning in tune? I use my tuner in my Spider IV as you described, but I dont have any issues, when you use your other tuner stand alone tuner, do you get the guitar in tune? I own a sabine chromatic tuner I use at home, and whether I use that or the line 6 I am able to tune each string to perfect tune. It sounds more like the guitar than the tuner to me, but I dont know what your guitar is, how it is set up, what gauge strings you use, what condition the guitar is in, whether your intonation is set up etc.. Start with this, can you tune your guitar with any tuner and get all 6 strings in tune? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how to get into tuner mode im amp, but i dont know how to see if it indicates the string are in tune. do you know what is the meaning of 6 cents higher，or 20 cents lower? cents means what...? by the way, it is said that tuner in amp is not accurate and will drift，clip on tuner which clips on guitar head is better, do you think so?

lumper Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Well, I trust mine, it cant hurt to use a stand alone if you feel more comfortable. So you are saying you dont know where to look to see if you are in tune or not? "I know how to get into tuner mode im amp, but i dont know how to see if it indicates the string are in tune." On mine I use the foot pedal, I think the lcd on the unit also shows the tuner when you are in tuner mode. Do you have an mkII pedal with a digital lcd screen? If not I believe you can look at the digital screen on your spider amp/head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
