Bought a 7 string.
Learning to play and messing around since I can't have my drumset in my apartments.

I want to buy a tuning pedal or tuner for it.


I like the boss-tu3 or tu2

but I'm wondering if someone knows of a cheaper very accurate tuner for the low tuning I will be playing in.

The Korg pitchblack is a great tuner and I think they are on sale right now, I would say it's better than the Boss TU2 or 3. My two favorite floor tuners in that type of price range are the TC Electronics Polytune Polyphonic tuner or the Korg Pitchblack

Yeah it looks nice I just didn't know if it would work for lower tuning.

that is mainly my point of this post.

I have a Boss Tu3 for gigs, never had any problem with it (had a Tu2 before), but in the studio i had to either get a computer tuner or another pedal to get my lower G# tuned (on bass).
There was that Korg tuner in the studio and it was catching it, so i would say for lower tuning this Korg > Tu3.
