Cam Jones Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 So I'm going to be doing a fair amount of gigging outside this summer. I played an outdoor fest last weekend and couldn't see hardly anything on my Korg pitchblack tuner because it was so bright out. I had to squat down and get real close to it. Really held things up. I've heard of people putting scotch tape or black pantyhose over the lights so they cut through, but never tried it. Anybody try tricks like this? Do they work?

PopTodd Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I've had pretty good luck with my Snark clip-on tuner, no matter what the light conditions. I just adjust the angle of the thing and I'm able to get a good read. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lamradio Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I've heard good feedback on these for outdoor playing: TC Polytune Love this tuner. I've had it for 4 or 5 years and it hasn't let me down. I've used it at several outdoor gigs and it was never a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I have used this since the 80's (Well the TU-2) version. Built like a tank. It can be tough outside but you can set it for a "Sweep" type indication that comes through pretty well outside. And I agree on the Snarks, they work way better than I thought they would.

Atticus Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Just get an attractive fan to squat over your pedal board to shield the sunlight. I should have mentioned that first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
