Jimmymiller623 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Don't get me wrong...I love the G70. It's given me seemingly bulletproof reception and great sound every time since I got it in April. And while I didn't buy it because it has a tuner, in theory it's a great idea to have one in it. But while it tunes accurately and does sort of OK with electric bass, it's pretty slow to pick up on the strings, and when I try to tune my upright bass with a nice piezo pickup, I can't get it to pick up the D and A strings at all. I really resent having a tuner pedal taking up space on my pedalboard that a fun pedal could be using, and I'm hoping the G70's tuner could be improved with a firmware update. Not expecting you to turn it into a Peterson strobe tuner, of course, but it would be great if I could at least use it with the upright. Is this possible? If so, you will have my undying gratitude as well as many others. If not, oh well...it's still a killer wireless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbuhajla Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Keep you eye out for sales on the TC Electronic Polytune clip. I picked one up for $29 a while back at Sweetwater. I got it because I don't like the tuner on the Helix. Polytune Clip is a fantastic little tuner, and you don't need to use up room on your pedal board.

I have clip-on tuners and they work well, but I don't want to deal with them on a gig trying to tune an upright. Plus I hate the way they look on instruments. I want this tuner in the G70 to be better so I can ditch all other tuners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passmark Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Any update about this? I'm also interested in this since I love the G70 but the tuner function is horrible and hard to see the "needle"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
