Title: GFS tuner pedal
Post by: bitter on September 18, 2011, 03:52:31 PM
I needed to replace my old hand-held korg tuner here recently. I went to GC and the sales guy handed me a cheap hand-held delta lab chromatic tuner. Initially I thought about paying a few bucks more for the korg, but I figured a tuner's a tuner as my old one worked fine for years.

The tuner itself is fine but if you leave the AAA batts in over night it drains them??? I wasn't gonna drive all the way back to GC as I felt dirty enough the first time. It's like going to a porno shop anymore.

I'd like to try one of those GFS pedal tuners but I'm unsure of the quality? They seem fine, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask. Also, on the subject of signal loss... the pedal has 2 outputs: bypass and output. Is the output option buffered like the boss tuner?

I'm not sure if that pedal is buffered or not.  If it's like the Korg Pitchblack, it isn't.  Email GFS, but I would probably go ahead and buy it if it were me.  I trust GFS, based on the Pups I bought from them.

Alright, I figured it was good stuff but I'm glad I asked. I guess I could always get a buffered signal splitter when I find another half stack.

Thanks Gentlemen!!!

I woulda bought the GFS, if I hadn't bought the Pitchblack first.  I coulda had a used Phase 90 or Small Stone and a tuner.

yeah I already wasted the 20 bucks on that delta lab so buying a new pitchblack or boss seemed like a bad idea. I've got to make a big gfs purchase in the coming weeks. looks like I'll grab this, some pups, lp rewire kit, and prolly a wall wart multi tap adapter.
