![]() ![]() ![]() I'm just saying that I never heard of anything like that ever. I'm unsure if this idea of turning your tone control off really helps you or not. I guess Van Halen, guitarists who have disconnected their tone control, people who own guitars the never had a tone knob, electric violinists, electric mandolin players, and people who use acoustic/electric models that don't include a tone control.can never use a tuner quickly, efficiently, and accurately. I have never heard about anyone turning down their tone controls to use a tuner until a few months ago in this never-ending discussion on the Helix tuner. Some guitars are even manufactured without tone controls (like my Redmond Series Model K) I would suspect that the Unitune would offer the same performance.įewer harmonics to fool the tuner’s pitch sensing algorithm.Įddie Van Halen and many other guitarists over the years disconnected the tone controls because they see them as a detriment to their sound. The way my Polytune handles its tuning duties with speed and stability is a joy to behold. The tuner is a lost cause.Bravo! C’est Vrai!! Grab one and enjoy the great sounds of the Helix. of 2015 AND I made vids with my guitar hooked up to a rackmount tuner and a boss pedal tuner at the same time as the Helix and showed the other 2 tuners accurately and quickly and with STABILITY "grabbing" the note and getting me in tune while the Helix was wavering about. I have fought with mine since I first got the Helix back in Oct. I'd say go ahead and grab a SNARK and forget about the Helix tuner. And even onstage it just takes too damn long to tune. It's just barely stable enough to be used onstage (of course no professional guitarist is going to be trying to tune with only a few seconds between songs and spend time turning down tone knobs.hell, I have a Floyd Rose Redmond Series Model K that doesn't even HAVE a tone knob).īut it's definitely not accurate enou.excuse me.it's definitely TOO GOOD to be able to use it quickly and efficiently in the studio. It does actually work better once you set the tuner to guitar only. It turns out (according to some here) that the Helix Tuner is just TOO GOOD to be able to actually work like it's supposed to. Yeah brother.you are hitting the infamous Helix Tuner. Line 6 added more granularity to the tuner but did nothing about its over sensitivity to harmonics. I put partial blame on us users when we complained that the tuner was too coarse and thus inaccurate. ![]() It helps, to some degree, to only use the neck pickup and to turn the tone know all the way down when tuning. It’s like the Helix tuner has a severe case odd attention deficit disorder and is very easily distracted by the accompanying harmonics that a guitar produces. I don’t think it’s a matter of inaccuracy so much as over sensitivity. There is no offsets, and the tuner is set to Guitar. The TU-3 accurately tunes my guitars, but the Helix is off by about -3cents on the some of the higher strings. On the helix, I have the tuner set to standard 440 pitch, and on my Boss TU-3 I have the same settings. Below is a process of how I have checked them. ![]() Does anyone else experience lack of accuracy with the Helix on board tuner? I cant get a solid guitar tune with the Helix tuner at all. ![]()
