Three New GoGo Clip-On Tuners

D Gear Lust Web Site DGo To The Music Connection "New Toys" Directory

GoGo's signature "Green you're in, Red you're out" binary/yes/no tuning system used in their GoGo stomp pedal chromatic tuner works just as well in their three clip-on tuners: the TT-1, Caliber (pictured) and the Tiki tuner for ukuleles. All three tuners clip to the headstock of your instrument to read the vibrations of any well-made musical instrument. The rubberized clip allows for a secure (yet non-permanent) grip for accurate detection that nullifies interference when tuning on loud stages.

All three tuners are powered by a single, 3-volt CR2032 watch battery, have backlit displays, and the TT-1 and Caliber have a switch for detecting pitch using either the internal mic or the vibration sensor. The pitch reference ranges from 430Hz to 450Hz in 1Hz steps if your music is NOT referenced to standard A=440Hz.

Both the Caliber and TT-1 have 360-degree swivel mounts, automatic power off, 0.5cent tuning accuracy over a wide range from A0 (27.5Hz) to C8 (4186Hz) and switchable to chromatic tuning. The TT-1 and Caliber tuners have bass, violin and viola tuning ranges and the Caliber has an extra heavy rubber black case. The smaller Tiki tuner is especially designed to tune ukes in the key of C or D and chromatic.

I like these tuners because they work simply, offer features usually only available in more expensive tuners but, more importantly, keep a musician's focus more on music making and less on tuning exactitude all the time. GoGo tuners show whether your instrument is in tune: yes or no.

The three tuners sell in a price range of $17.99 to $29.99 and for much more about them, check: www.gogotuners.net.
