Like a Trustworthy Roadie in Your Pocket

For years, players have entrusted Band Industries's Roadie automatic tuners for quick string changes and pitch-perfect accuracy. Even with the success of the Roadie 2, BI saw room for improvement. Now, with the Roadie 3, players can tune up and start playing faster than ever, thanks to a high-speed 120 rpm motor in a comfortable handheld design. Upgraded vibration detection makes for excellent tuning accuracy, and it's versatile enough for practically any tuning imaginable. The vibrating metronome mode is great when syncing to a beat, and the Roadie 3's compact design makes it easy to use — and easier to take with you. Top it off with a long-lasting rechargeable battery, and you have a high-tech automatic tuner designed with today's players in mind.

Pitch-perfect automatic tuning

Building on the groundbreaking technology of previous versions, the Roadie 3's improved design keeps your instrument's tuning in check at super speeds. Its 120 rpm rotation speed cuts the previous model's time in half, leaving more time for playing and less worry about tuning issues. Sweetwater guitarists are thoroughly impressed with the Roadie 3's next-generation vibration detection, leading to better tuning accuracy with increased noise immunity. Plus, over 100 onboard tunings ensure the Roadie is capable of handling all of your guitars, with additional space for custom tunings.

Improved design with awesome additions

Undeniably ahead of its time, the Roadie 3's automatic tuning only scratches the surface of its offerings. If you're familiar with the Roadie 2, you will immediately notice the smaller size and ergonomic shape —it's perfect for pockets and more comfortable when in use. The addition of a vibrating metronome mode is perfect for keeping rhythm, allowing you to set your tempo and feel the beat for tighter performances. A larger, front-facing, high-resolution screen makes it easier than ever to see your tuning options; plus, the improved battery design is capable of more than 150 single string tunings on one charge.

Band Industries Roadie 3 Automatic Guitar Tuner Features:

  • Automatically tunes each string
  • Powerful, fast string-winding motor (120 rpm)
  • Next-gen vibration detection for better accuracy
  • 100+ built-in tunings with custom tuning options
  • Smaller, ergonomic shape for a comfortable grip
  • Beep/vibration metronome
  • Large front-facing screen is always visible during tuning

best tuner!

very satisfied with this purchase. delivery was fast and the roadie is very accurate, the good thing about it is that you can do your own tuning and save it… very easy to use…
Rated 5/5

Works great!

Only negative I can find is it won't pick up the bottom F# on my 8 string guitar.
Rated 5/5

Great Product

I am really loving this tuner/winder/tracker of all my tunings/etc. This has made the care of my instruments so much easier than before. I own 3 acoustics (one of which is a 12 string) and 3 electrics. Changing strings used to be a real pain but now it is a breeze. If you choose the "tune up" and "accurate" setting, the tuner is surprisingly accurate. It takes a bit more time, but it is worth it. The winder is great for changing the strings, of course. But what I like the most is that you have to input an instrument for each of your guitars. The unit actually learns the instrument an improves the tuning accuracy and time to get there. Also, you can customize any of the tunings and keep track of what tunings you use on what guitar. Changing between tunings is a breeze now as well. But I really love the customizable tunings, the separation of choosing a capo setting, which combines with any tuning to give the correct string notes. It simply organizes the instruments and the tunings so neatly; I really love it. Besides standard tuning, I play tunes in at least 7 other tunings regularly, so this product is really a big-time saver. It lets me spend more time playing and less time tuning. A real game changer.
