Can I tune a guitar better than a machine? Roadie 3 Guitar Tuner

- Roadie sent me this tuner and asked for my opinion so I decided to fight it in a rather tame battle oft the tuners. Don't take it too seriously, it's just a video.

The Nano Metal Muff from EHX is a Fuzz or Distortion pedal that includes a noise gate and in the new nano sized enclosure so it will actually fit on your pedal board! In this video i play a selection of guitars in the demo to find out what kind of effect pedal this really is! My review is at the end of the video.

I'd like to see it combined it with a mini-drone, so it can fly around the house, tuning guitars while I'm down the pub. Talking of beer, one for the road, cheers !
There's something familiar about that disclaimer..... like i've heard that voice before.
In your dreams!
i believe you noticed/heard/felt the machine hit and turns the E peg - 5:13
that's not fair .
On the 2nd tuning with the Roadie 3, When you tuned the A string, (just after 5:00) the rotating clip of the motor wheel moved your thumb onto the E-String tuning peg very slightly moving it.
Have a re-watch. They do take a little getting used to. I snapped a couple of top Es myself when I first started using it. The 6th string kept tightening. Since I updated the software I've had no problems.
It doesn't have a setting for Bass (or at least it didn't unless they have just added it). I created a custom instrument setting for bass.
Interesting! I tuned My bass in 2019 so it should be fine
That Peterson Strobostomp is pretty great. I would however invest in a roadie if it could tune all of my students' band instruments, though I imagine they would have to increase the motorized appendages and include small tazers to correct lazy embouchures and low-dose muscle relaxers to correct the enthusiastic embouchures. Just one for the road. Another to get home.
I would like to see a demo of tuning to a 1/2 down from standard and capo tuning on 2nd fret of 4th fret. Drop D in a 1/2 down seen simple. What about 12 strings?
It would definitely be helpful for those that are new at tuning and even winding strings. Because there might be a situation where you're tuning the string too much and it breaks......just saying lol.
I would go with the Strobo Stomp ALL DAY LONG ! "one for the road"
And it would go for you too. Welcome to the end of the video club
Peterson has been around for something like 70 years and are depended upon by professional instrument techs/installers. They're used on all instruments in the manufacturing/repair industry such as pianos and pipe organs (the use I'm familiar with). I WAS considering the Roadie 3, not anymore. I'm confused. Was the real purpose to sell the Peterson? LOL, kidding. I bought an Ernie Ball clip on, wasn't happy with it's appetite for batteries. Turned around and bought the Boss TU-10 in hopes of higher accuracy. I never looked into Peterson having such a stomp, but I'm just going to get the Peterson (how's the clip on version perform though?) and call it good. Thank you for the video (albeit a touch long) selling me on the Peterson which (with the $ spent on clip-ons) I should have done initially in hindsight. :) Times Peterson mentioned in my post: 6
Not sure i feel comfortable paying such a high price for such a finite product. When the built-in battery finally dies, there is no way to replace it. That's a deal breaker for me.
Why not count the time it takes to power on the device & select the correct instrument??? That time would be spent manually tuning.
You bumped the 1st string out of tune when moving to the 2nd string causing it go back out of tune (surely someone mentioned this in the 80 comments, but I don't have time to read all that)
Should have started the test in a full step down and tune to E standard on each test to be most accurate. Cause it might be faster or slower trying to tune if the guitar note is closer or further away than last untuned guitar test. At least if you started each test in D standard and tuned to E standard then it would be a fair and more accurate test
5:12 while you're tuning the a string you don't have it seated correctly and its accidentally turns the tuner on the low e string as well.
I’d go with the Peterson Andy. I currently use the snark but you are right, you really need to take your time with it and if anyone even talks to me the snark picks it up.
If they had one that did 3 strings at a time, that might be handy for live stuff and possibly look impressive. Brilliant as usual mate😀👍👍
One for the road 😬
Human is more accurate; electronic strobe is not accurate at next octave.
On your second test you detuned the low E when you moved to the A string. 5:12
cool ...i would use it.....one for the road
feel like it works wayyyy better on acoustics.
Wait - you still haven’t changed the pick guard? I think you secretly love pearloid.
It’s on the list....
Congrats on 36k. Been watching for a while but not subscribed as your stuff always pops up anyway. Have subbed now💕
Hi Millie! Good to know the algorithm is working but even better to welcome you properly 🤘
@@TheGuitarGeek Thanks Andy💕
5:15 the robot moved the E string tuner while turning the A string. I think it would have been in tune if it didn't do that :P Still prefer strobo though :P
ahh thanks!
@@TheGuitarGeek I noticed that too at @5:00. They are a bit fiddly at first tbf. You have to do your best to keep them at 90 degrees to the headstock.
If only some well known guitar brand would take the Roadie robotuner concept one step further and permanently mount it to the headstock. That way we could have push-button robotuning and not have to worry about how we look while tuning on stage. Oh well, maybe in another timeline that exists. In the meantime, I'll take one for the road.
gibson did that and it failed miserably .
@@cyaneamusic. (that’s the joke)
Tronical Tune self-tuning system but then you need one for every guitar you own.
Here’s one for the road: before watching this video I could not care less whether you beat the tuner but I somehow couldn’t stop watching. Even worse, if you did this again with another tuning gadget, I’d probably watch that too. Make of that what you will...I’m going to go think about my life choices for a bit.
So you’re saying I should make a sequel. Well.... if you insist!
@@TheGuitarGeek I think you may be on to some noble quest to finding a way to look cool while tuning in front of a crowd. It’s an issue I didn’t even know needed to or could be addressed, but now that you have I feel we all deserve to see it through. Godspeed.
The thumb at 5:13 ff. ...
One of the first things you say is it is for the bass guitar.
It isn't. You need to buy a separate "Roadie 3 for bass guitar".
It will tune electric, and acoustic guitars, mandolin, banjo and ukulele. Basically everything Except a bass.
Good job showing the different modes of the Roadie 3. It was fun watching. I'm not a professional but you've convinced me to shop a Stomp tuner vs. Roadie. The Roadie is more work, and I agree that for professionals on stage, it isn't a good look to use a robotic tuner in front of an audience. Not cool!
The Roadie wins
One For The Road
One for the road!
One for the road
I love having one for the road. Or anytime I can.
Well done sir!
The Machine’s tuning should have been tested by the tuner and not your ears. You said you wouldn’t tune that way, why should the Machine get a pass!!!
I got the roadie 3 mainly to string up guitars and tune at once. Once that's done I use my boss tuner. Then repeat the same thing again. Plus the programming is another reason.
I might be interested in this Roadie 3 if I used alternate tunings. I'll stick with my PRS tuner clipped onto the headstock
I want to know who has this much stress/time wasted tuning their guitar to actually want to buy one of these. If tuning is really that bad, you probably need something fixed on the guitar.
You didn't mention the 140 available alternate tunings, which was a selling point for me
Hahaha! I was going to pause the video at the beginning to comment that I better see a Petersen Strobe somewhere to be the judge of accuracy. I didn't pause the video to comment this as it's just watching the Roadie do its purpose.
Nice bit of kit. Pricey but cheaper on amazon. Does my head in a bit because I've got left handed guitars and not all have tuners in a row so will maybe have to consciously think about the directions I wind my strings.
Always takes a couple of tunings due to the changing tension on the neck from the strings. But overall, neat gadget!
If you have more than one for the road the Roadie 3 Guitar Tuner might be trusted to do a better job tuning your guitar.
@5:15 you detuned the first string when tuning the second.
Human error not a fail. gotta retest the fast tune...
I think your second test failure was more about the wind up mode versos the accuracy mode
Enjoyed you video and personality.
"One for the road."
I just got the Roadie 3. Like it for a quick close tuning but still rely on my poly tune 2. Now I need to take a look at the strobe stomp.
All in all, it’s a tool which has a use. It’s not the only tool you should but it is “one for the road”.
Excactly
One for the road. Now, does it work in a noisy environment - does it tune by vibration or a mic?
Bun and a toad
I speak fluent auto incorrect and a few other computer languages
But English is F’d up yo!?!
Tune often
is grilled or sushi style?
I just keep thinking of Carl (the idiot abroad) Pilkington not wanting to eat, just incase some rare Chinese toad turned out to be the greatest food he’d never get to have again 🤣
@@PooNinja pun for the choad?
Reactive dummy load
4 ohm is the Toad
16 is the max reactive load
One for the road👍. Great video sir. My roadie 3 arrived today. Hope I can get on with it. 😊
If pedalboard space is limited the Roadie is a great option..
And it stores different tunings for different guitars.
Thanks for this review.
However, dude I believe your fly is open... ha. Sorry
Hahaha thanks but it’s just the buttons making it seem that way 😂
One for the road... Enjoyed the vid! I bought a Roadie 3 and waiting for it's arrival... good detail...
Enjoy!
This unit is working splendidly as initial instrument pick up and any time there is a question mid session.Better than my own eyes and ears.
Useless Roadie 2 for sale, deep discount,heading for dustbin??
One for the Roadie
Good to hear man!
One for the road! I too have been indoctrinated by floor tuners, but I can see the appeal if you have a large collection or a shop like you said. How is it when using tunings other than E standard?
You can set up any custom tunings. I assume it would perform similarly to in this video
Thank god this video of a robot felllating your guitar tuners is in 4K. Dunno if I could get off if it was on 1080p.
Good! I’ll happily buy a 6K camera if you need an update? (Miss you Dave)
@@TheGuitarGeek Andy in 6K? I dunno if my poor heart can handle it after such a long time apart.
Lido, oh oh oh oh
am i in the prestigious elite, end of the video gang automatically, or only if i say " one for the road"?
Yes
Great vid man. Great idea for a bit too.
One for the road? Just one?😂
One for the road. Or maybe two.
One for the road! Number 1 RatFan!! AaahhHhAahhh! Da the guitar geek! Why so CIRRUS! RRRRRRR.Thats is .... RAT! Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! Damn thats cheap! Warranty VOID. I express daily.

I thought you’d forgotten....
@@TheGuitarGeek never just on vacation with the wife and kids my first vid back was yours
Aww man!!! Hope you had a good break
One for the word
One for the road! ;-))
1 4 the Road.
I had the original Roadie, then Roadie Bass which has recently given up and now the Roadie 3. I use the roadie on my non Floyd guitars to quickly tune them up without turning the pedal board on with the Strobostomp. I use the Stroboclip HD on my Floyd equipped guitars to do the same. Normally I just use the Strobostomp. I find the Roadie 3 to be less accurate to the Peterson tuners but it is convenient.
On for the road if your headstock tunes is much to wayward in noisy environments?
could be!
1:50 always tune ⬆️ up even when Down or Drop tuning.
Can’t stop the skynet that’s why Elon is moving off world but we’ve said too much. Always tune up was the whole point of this blathering of mine.
Oh, it's Andrew now? Aren't we getting spiffy!
One for the road!
Yes, i assume Brian is short for.... Briananthan?
@@TheGuitarGeek Briananthanthalus, but you were close!
Last call, "One for the road".
Thank you!!!
