With my memory of .38 special I can understand why he likes it

All I need is a robotic guitar player to replace myself.

With some mods, it could probably open a can of beer. I always liked my Bud Lite at A440.

There used to be information about a similar tuner in here

but the server seems to be down

I'm not a part of that co-op, but this seems like you guys are missing the point of what you were out to do - get vintage schems. While I personally don't agree with using this kind of board to set up an exclusive club open only to certain members, I realize that you have to charge in order to pay for the expensive pedals in the first place, so I won't belabor that, but are you sure you'll have enough of a demand for this thing to get enough people paying?

Also, you don't really know what's inside of this thing - sure, marketing hype overcomplicates things, but "advanced microprocessor technology" could mean that there's stuff in there you won't be able to buy from mouser, etc. There will be a motor, special casing, an LED controller, and who knows what else to get something that may or may not work as advertised.

It looks like a cool tuner (perhaps gimmicky?), but well, I guess all I'm saying is that it's not a stompbox

But don't let the fact that I've never heard of it and it seems kind of odd to me deter you guys; if there's enough of a demand then go for it.

I got the impression that they were joking, that might have just been me though... interesting item, and almost totally useless-it's better to be a tiny bit outta tune, makes it more realistic.

What keeps people from buying these things, figuring out the wiring, and then selling them again. I guess you would lose a little bit of $ via ebay fees, and random variations in market prices, but it wouldn't be that bad if a few people split them... Maybe I'm missing the point?

[Ansil]

nope you dont' loose money.. you finda friend to sell them for you.

Still no bids!...........there's definately hope for mankind. Save your money: the new Sprint PCS phone will tune your guitar just as well. Also, it will rebiase your amp and test Ge trannies for leakage.
