Snark tuners suck!

Post by dylan »

I was impressed with the brightness and interface of a mates snark, so bought one.

It sucks - the whole range from low to high is only 12 segments, so the closest you can tune is a 12th of a tone - 8.3 cents.

my samson ct20 has over 50 segments from low to high, and is capable of getting a guitar in perfect tune.

the snark just isnt accurate enough.

Mine seems ok, not quite as accurate as my Pitch Black but good enough at home for me.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

5 strings for 6 fingers...never understood that math.
