  • Cool little product
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. ... show more

  • Tunes up better than snark
Tuning up a guitar in the back of a dark bar can be a pain, often i found that clip on tuners like snark can vary greatly. With the R3 You can select your instrument, key, and then position the tuner on the peg and hit the string-- it will wind your string and do micro adjustments till you feel a buzz, go to next string and repeat- very fast. can also do other instruments like mandolin etc. just make sure you hold it firmly when tuning. Spot on for me. also has a winder feature for changing strings, and a metronome. very handy little device, been using it for gigs for 6 months now and works very well! ... show more

  • Great unit with just 1 major flaw (in my humble opinion)
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. ... show more

  • Great tuner with some weaknesses
Overall a decent tuner. I have a Korg TM-60 as well. The Roadie is slightly sharp compared to the Korg. Once in a while the Roadie seems to have a fit and will not calibrate. It will wind or unwind way out of tune. I'm guessing there was noise in the background it did not like. The winding/unwinding function works great. The controls can be a bit finicky getting it started. This tuner is not good at all for setting intonation. Nice that it is rechargeable. The sturdiness and size is perfect for carrying in your pocket. Great for beginners guitar players. ... show more

  • Right in tune
This thing does what it says it does it will keep you in tune no problem. It’s able to get the 45 and six strings tuned much easier than in particular the one and two strings. It seems to stretch the strings when tuning, and will take extra time to calibrate itself. A surprisingly helpful function is when changing strings and using it as a winder. The three different speeds are very handy. Make the process easier. ... show more

  • I LOVE THIS THING!
I have been playing guitar for over 50 years, and I have always found tuning to be a chore for me no matter what kind of tuner I had, with the exception of the Gibson G-Force automatic tuner on a Les Paul I had a few years ago. That worked quite well. The Roadie is even better than the G-Force was. If you use it right, which is quite easy to do (read the instructions), it works great. I love it. It makes tuning any instrument with strings a breeze to tune, and it really only takes about 30 seconds to tune any guitar. And, it is accurate. It has made tuning every guitar I own super easy to tune. It seems quite rugged too, with a rubberized outer shell. I'm sure it will last a long time, but if it does ever break or wear out, I will buy another one in an instant! By the way, I have charged it once when I bought it, and have tuned about 40 times on the same charge and it still does not need a charge. Great product! ... show more

  • Buggy, impossible to read.
Nightmare to use. Tiny screen is illegible. After using this tuner for a week, the greatest flaw is the way it progresses to the next highest string without the possibility of stopping it or going back. I popped two strings being on on the wrong tuner, especially when the high tuners are on the other side of the head. I also wonder how accurate the tuning is. Lastly, it is useless for a 12 string guitar. It just stops working. In sum, it’s better than manual winding and tuning. I wish it fit the tuning keys better because it’s got enough torque and speed to bankrupt you. Edit. Since I received an email from the company complaining of my low rating, I will drill a little deeper into the tuning limitations. The motor is too fast and jerky to hit the note. It’s easier to use a clip on tuner and make small adjustments. The winding function is downright dangerous with the upper springs. It sings like a demon and you have to take it off before it pops a string. If you have guitars that are basically in tune, and the tuners are on the side facing the player, this gadget works fairly well for casual playing. But if you are restringing a guitar, it can’t find the right note. ... show more
