Roadie 2 is the ultimate guitar tuner

“As far as I'm concerned this is a major leap forward” Spike Edney, Queen – "With something like Roadie 2 you can start strumming again immediately" John Biggs, TechCrunch – "It's got a cool readout on top, it's got all the features in the back to switch to different modes... So that's one thing that turned me on because I do use multiple tunings" Cj Pierce, Drowning Pool.

Tune all instruments

Roadie 2 tunes all sorts of string instruments with guitar-like machine heads including electric, acoustic, classical, and steel guitars, 7 and 12-string guitars, ukuleles, mandolins, banjos, etc. This excludes bass guitars (check out Roadie Bass) or instruments with wooden pegs.

Built-in vibration sensor delivers extreme accuracy

Roadie 2’s advanced audio algorithms and machine precision consistently deliver perfectly accurate tuning. A built-in vibration sensor delivers crisp tuning in the noisiest environments.

Tune less. Play more.

It takes Roadie 2 about 30 seconds to fine-tune your guitar or completely change tuning.

Experiment with alternate tunings

The accompanying mobile app gives you the ability to create your own custom tunings and temperaments via the app. If you explore a tuning and find something you like but don’t know what notes you have found, Record Mode will detect them and save the tuning for you.

Re-string effortlessly

Re-string quickly and easily with the automatic winding feature. The motor rotates at three speeds, the fastest of which is 60 RPM.

Customers are dissatisfied with the spin of the tuner. They mention that the wheel jumps around a bit when selecting different instruments, the scroll wheel jump like crazy, and the cursor bounces around. They also say that the control wheel started to act erratically and jumps past the point they were trying to select. Customers also say the device misinterprets the vibration quite often and attempts to raise the note.

Hated it at first now I love it in the key of E
The first time I used it I almost threw it in the garbage. It was so far off I broke a new E-string. I threw it in a drawer and forgot about it. I saw it a few weeks later and decided to try it again. This time it was spot on. I don’t know if swearing and threatening is required but it worked on mine. Now anytime I pick up a guitar I quickly tune it using the Roadie2. It does take a little get used to but once you do it’s great! For $130 it seems a little expensive but I hadn’t played my 12 strings in years because they took so long to tune. The Roadie tunes a 12 string quickly and accurately. When you consider the sophistication of the machine it is amazing. From the photos you can see some of the options. When you add an instrument you can name it and describe it so if it is a 12 string it will be set up the way you want it. A 6 string tuned to a capo or any of the options are remembered. Especially handy if you use a guitar for a single song with custom tuning or want to quickly change the tuning between songs. Once the guitar is close to in-tune it is very fast to tweak the tuning.I think it’s a good value for the money just not a great value. It’s the only tuner I use now that I’m used to it. I would buy it again. If it doesn’t work out of the box swear at it, then lock it in a dark drawer for a few weeks and it will come out willing to work perfectly. They respond very well to meanness. It broke my heart the first day. Then it definitely grew on me. I think I may write a C&W song about it.
