buford Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Greetings fellow musicians: I was the recipient of one of the first kidney beans. years ago followed by the HD300 and just received my Pod Go yesterday. my existing pedal board with my acoustic guitar has a Boss TU-3 Tuner that works great. I am now starting to play my electrics and hope to incorporate the POD Go in my set up this summer/fall when we can resume playing live. I have had this cool new toy for a day now and perplexed regarding the onboard Tuner. How in the heck do you know when the string is exactly in tune. I can never get it to land on the line, just close either flat or sharp. 1) Any trick to using this? 2) has anybody relied on this in a live setting? or do I need to add another Boss TU-3 to this? Help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amgradmd Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I've found it to be super sensitive, myself, but the result is an impeccably tuned guitar. Wait for both arrows to light up and you're in tune. You don't have to have the floating indicator exactly center. Its almost impossible to accomplish that dead center and OK as long as it's close and with both arrows lit. You probably are aware but try to tune to flat and tune up to the correct tune for best results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buford Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Amgradmd, thank you so much. yes, I always tune up and I fiddled with it more last night. I am more worried about playing live using the tuner so was ready to pull the trigger on another TU-3, but. based on your feedback I just need to get used to it and it should be fine live.

silverhead Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Don’t forget that the tuner comes in 3 flavours. Experiment by turning in knob 3 when the tuner is active to see which flavour you prefer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital_Igloo Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 If you find the indication too sensitive, set it to "Coarse." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voxman55 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Ah, so you can adjust tuner sensitivity in Pod Go - good tip to know, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainguy Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 It is so sensitive that if my picking hand is resting on the guitar as I turn the string peg, the note shows a bit sharp as the tuner picks up the bending of the neck! tg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
