GoGo Tuners released the GoGo Pedal Tuner! This has the same footprint as a standard size stomp pedal yet the whole top of the pedal is dominated by a huge LCD display! But you would have to be blind to miss this pedal's bright orange color and GoGo's signature "Green you're in, Red you're out" indicator where the whole display changes--including the note from green to red. There are no tweaky meters or percentages numbers or pulsating strobes. With GoGo, tuning is a binary decision yes/no: a note is either in tune or out of tune.
We tested and compared GoGo to other common pedals and found it to excel at pitch accuracy when the note you're playing is dead on true pitch. Being chromatic, sharps and flats are indicated too.
Maybe the biggest feature for tuner at this price point (about $60) is its ability to easily read octaves and harmonics instantly--it takes no extra time. We then plugged in a Fender P-Bass and it worked great without any problem. We also noticed that when the note is in tune, the display persists--stays lit reading the note until the string naturally dies out--a great feature when you look away from it momentarily--it's still indicating and then dims with no note signal to conserve the battery.
The GoGo uses true bypass and shuts off the tuning function when not tuning and mutes its output when tuning. There is a slight delay when engaging the button when the tuner electronics self-calibrate and the display lights up--maybe 1/4 second--then the note in play shows up. It has a crush proof metal chassis and includes a second power jack on the back to run another pedal from the unit's single internal 9-volt battery.Check: www.gogotuners.net
