ROADIE 3 | Smart Automatic Guitar Tuner, Metronome & String Winder | For Electric Guitars, Acoustic Guitars, 12-String Guitars, Ukulele, Banjo, Mandolin | 150+ Alternate Tunings

This is a cool little product. I really like it for my 12-string acoustic guitar. The good: easy to use. So many alternate tunings. Can be used with any stringed instrument. It is accurate. I don't know if it is perfect, but I compared it to my headstock tuner, and 3 of the strings are dead on, and 3 are just a little bit off. I don't know which tuner is wrong, and which is right, but they are incredibly close, and my ear can't tell the difference. Having a metronome included is cool. The Bad: It is a little awkward to use on the G,B, and E strings on guitars with headstocks with 3 pegs on either side of the headstock. G is the hardest to do, but you get used to it. I doubt there is any way they can improve that, so it isn't really a big negative for me. I haven't used the feature yet, but I think where this thing really pays for itself is alternate tuning. It doesn't require a lot of thought to quickly get to an alternate tuning. It does require some initial programming, but the menu is pretty intuitive, so not an issue. I haven't used the winding feature yet either, but I am sure that will be my favorite feature. The metronome is cool. I have only used it once, but I sat it on the stand next to me, and the vibration feature made it spin in a circle. I was afraid it was going to fall off the stand, but it just sat there and spun around. all in all, excellent product.

My Hubby is a guitarist. He knows how to tune a guitar but I bought him this and he loves it. So easy to use and cuts tuning time in half. Perfect gift for any Guitarist.

I do not give it a full five stars on accuracy. I typically have to fine tune after this little gizmo gets done doing its thing.But other than that, this is truly an amazing product.I have quite a few instruments. There are three (soon to be four) that I play regularly. I use different tunings, and the problem that I have is that I forget which tuning I'm using halfway through the tuning.This little gadget has two huge benefits. The first is that when I restring all of my instruments, it really saves my wrists when winding the strings. The second is that when I have to tune all three (soon to be four) guitars, it really cuts back on the amount of time and frustration involved. And, of course, a bonus third is that I don't have to remember which tuning I'm doing!This little gadget has saved me a bunch of time. If I have to quick-tune in between songs, I won't go grab this because it's usually only one or two strings. But when I'm first tuning at the beginning of a session, I will use this to save time because, quite frankly, two of my guitars do not stay in tune overnight.The Taylor will stay in tune no matter what I do to it.

Man if you have money to burn, this little guy is cool.Multiple profiles can be added. Multiple instruments. Pre-installed tunning settings (Drop steps, G Major, etc.). Hz change, Capo fret#, etc.Anyone looking at this has done some research (or should) based on the heavy price alone.Once purchased you can download and update the app and Roadie3. Customize your own tune settings via the app.I use it for personal use.So, I'm never in a rush. My settings are on the "Accuracy" and "Tune-up"."Fast tuning" that is sloppy on top of "Tuning-down" SHOULD NOT even be an option in my opinion. When and where would you ever require/want that combination? Makes no sense. Quick-tune it by ear if you don't care, and save yourself $150 bucks. Anyways...The only issue I have run into when tuning is that it will beep and stop working stating the error "On the wrong string" when I'm on the correct string. Has only done it a handful of times but can get kind of annoying.Works well with a noisy background. Does not seem to be any type of interference when using it.Has a re-string wind-up future, haven't used it yet but cool to have. I have only charged it once. Last pretty long for personal use, I'd say. If you were tuning a shop full of guitars every day plus re-stringing multi guitars every day and utilizing the metronome for a period of hours, your results may differ.The metronome future IMO could be cut from the chopping block.I would rather see the metronome feature and the "fast tuning" and the "okay to tune down" setting removed from the Roadie3 and have an "Open Ear" tunning feature that does not have to be logged in to the app in order to use it. Like an app, you would do/use on your cellphone but built into the Roadie3. That feature is there WHEN connected to the app. That would seem like a better solution for a fast tune. Turn it on, scroll down, click the OK arrow, set it down next to you, and watch the graph as you pluck and tune. Most guitars people buy nowadays have a built-in tuner, but not all do and not all are created equal. ---- This is just my opinion, I ain't nobody special.It seems to be pretty accurate. I have tested it against multiple tuners.The Roadie3 tuning seems to match perfectly with my Fishman built-in tuners.Expensive, yes. Cool, yes. Needed, meh. Awesome to have, yes!Should you buy one, definitely.

Yep. I was skeptical at first, but all the glowing reviews convinced me to buy this. I've got to say, my Roadie 3 is awesome!I do a lot of alternate tunings, and Roadie cuts the time to tune down by at least 50%. Maybe even more importantly, you can just select a new tuning out of Roadie's considerable list of alternate tunings, and you don't have to remember the notes in the tuning. Lazy? You bet! But in the heat of battle (on stage) the less time you fumble around, the better.My only criticism, and it's a small one, is that when raising or lowering the capo setting, Roadie gets stumped sometimes. When this happens, I just turn Roadie off and on and have another go. It always finds its way. By the way, Roadie remembers the last tuning you use and always starts with that tuning when turned on.Oh, and for the casual player, those who don't give a spit about alternate tunings, you will never have to sweat while tuning your guitar again. Just buy this. you won't be sorry. I hope Roadie Music (the manufacturer) makes a bazillion dollars with this product. They deserve it.

Is it expensive? Yes.Is it worth it? Yes.Amazing. Just place it over your tuning peg then pluck your corresponding string; hold the roadie 3 steady as it adjusts itself. It seems to lower the pitch slightly, before bringing the string into perfect tuning. I have It set up for precise tuning, which they say takes longer, but at most I just pluck the string no more than 3 times until it tunes by itself. It works with the Roadie app, but you don’t need the app. I love it it keeps a color photo of each instrument and remembers what tuning you want. So far I just use standard tuning. Added bonus… I don’t have to wipe fingerprints off of my tuning pegs anymore.

This was my first experience with an automatic tuner... and I LOVE IT! Yes, it's has its issues... like, for example, if you pluck the low E string and the tuner adjusts your tension - if the tuner thinks the E string is set and ready to go, it moves on to the next string. So DON'T TRY TO DO A DOUBLE CHECK of the string you just tuned. Because if you do, you're going to pluck the E string again and it's going to have moved up to the A and it's going to try to tune your E string up to A. It's better to just keep going... never double check a string until after you're done tuning all 6 strings. Then, and only then, you can turn the unit off and then double check the individual string tuning. More often than not, however, I find the strings that I wanted to double check to be just fine and fully in tune with the rest of the strings. It's a very nice unit!!! I personally love it.

Unfortunately, this device works inconsistently at best. I have tried it with all of my guitars and they are professionally set up so the problem is most definitely with the tuner. The bottom three strings are almost guaranteed not to be on pitch and sometimes it will not even pick up the top string. I would rather speak to someone directly about a return and even consider an upgrade to the Roadie four model, but I am very unpleased. I had considered writing a review, but I would rather speak to someone before I go that route because trying out the newer model seems to be a better option.

Realmente es un dispositivo que ayuda a afinar la guitarra de las personas ciegas. Si eres profesor de guitarra te lo recomiendo para que tus estudiantes ciegos puedan tener acceso a este producto que les facilitará su afinación y también para las personas normovisuales.

Great little unit with excellent build quality. Many tunings to choose from. Will adjust your strings automatically and relatively quick with little to no effort. Tunes my Les Paul in less than 15 seconds.The C# Standard tuning is currently incorrect but the Devs will fix it soon. It was reported. Also, App has some bugs like custom tuning sync but should get addressed in the next update. Reported this and I was going to give it 4 stars but the App is separate and should be considered a bonus. The tuner/winder is what matters most and it is functioning as it should. A+

Werkt heel erg goed! Ik gebruik het om mijn ukeleles te stemmen. Batterij gaat heel lang mee. Zou 5 sterren krijgen moest het ook alle vormen van ukelele ondersteunen. Nu is het enkel mogelijk voor gewone of met lage G maar 5- of 8-snarige gaat nog niet. 12-snarige gitaar gaat dan weer wel tot grote vreugde van mijn vriend 😉. Geen spijt van mijn aankoop!

Gitarre kann mein Licht stimmen und zwar in vielen Drops. Einfache Bedienung und für jede Gitarre auch, wenn Gitarre mehr Saiten hat

Super produit. Permets d’accorder les cordes précisément et peut être également utiliser comme dérouleur et enrouleur
