The "impractical to carry around to concerts" thing has me stumped. The only thing that I can think of for that is the MuTron. And there aren't any green clones of that. And it hasn't been mentioned. The Line 6 DL4 is another one that is too big to cart around. But no clones of that either. Need mor...

Meh, indeed!

Blah. That sucks.

Green Rhino?

One year on... It came from a thrift store with all the hardware stripped. My intent was to rescue it with inexpensive hardware and electronics and then likely pass it on. With the upgrades, it now owes me about USD$350. It doesn't hold tune perfectly, it has "idiosyncrasies". Personality. But... Yo...

Yes, these are super helpful. My son has one and I use it from time to time.

I needed a pedal tuner for the new board and I've become very accustomed to the Turbotuner. I couldn't go back to a "normal" tuner like a TU-3. Today I swallowed the cost and bought a Petersen Strobostomp HD, plus a Stroboclip HD for the acoustic and for when I don't have an amp fired up. Early days...

A great overview, thanks! Cables and connectors also have other properties to be aware of. Capacitance (in "Farads") is part of the bigger picture of LCR: L=inductance, in "Henrys" C=capacitance in "Farads" R=resistance in "Ohms" Plus the percentage shield coverage is an important indicator of how r...
