Fender ST-1 Stage Tuner

It's easy to use. In/Out/On/Off. It's easy to read due to very large LCD display.

Pretty crappy. Tunes sharp I think... As much as I hate to admit it, I DO care about my tuning, and the Boss pedal really is 100 times better. Being sharp to other players who are flat is unacceptable. Fine if you're playing with yourself I guess... In a band situation is no good.

NO. I CAN'T DEPEND ON IT. This pedal fucks me around. I had it in my daisy chain of power leads and due to the faulty connection kept shorting out my power to other pedals. Leading to all my power being lost to other pedals and not letting any signal through. Freaking hate this thing. I'm getting something more... better. I guess I didn't treat the pedal too well, but it's not good.

Didn't bother. Not worth the trouble...

Not gig worthy. I'll give it a 4 because it is fine for personal use at home, and I might still use it at home for tuning an acoustic or something. But in a loud atmosphere in a band room or at a gig, it's just not worth it. Cheap and nasty, but it works. I was told to go for something better and I regret not going a level up. Oh well.. that's what I get!

Very easy to use. 1 input. 2 outputs (1 mute). 1 footswitch. Simple. One negative thing is changing the battery, as it requires 2 screwdrivers to undo the bottom (a phillips head and a straight head). Its not a huge problem, but ive seen better solutions from other pedals (e.g. my jim dunlop wah pedal). Another slight problem is that the tuning light (which indicates the note) is not as large and visible as other tuners (e.g. a Tu-2).

Well its a tuner... so it doesnt really make a noise. I haven't seen it introduce noise between my guitar and amp either. As for the tracking of the tuner, it seems pretty good and finds tune well. I dont think it is as good as a boss tu-2 tuner or a pterson strobe tuner, but hey it doesnt cost as much either.

Hm. When i first bought this i had a problem with the (plastic) footswitch as it kept popping up out of its mounting and eventually lead to me getting a replacment. I also read a review of it in a guitar magazine that found this problem, which suggests it was not limited to my pedal. To be fair my replacement pedal does not have the same problem, although it doesnt seem 100% confidence inspiring either. a metal switch (i.e. boss or digitech style) would be better. The metal housing and the wiring have all seemed fine however.

Never dealt with them (i went back to the shop where i bought it)

Overall i think it is a good pedal, but if i was to buy a tuner again i would definately get a boss Tu-2.

It has an input, output, microphone and power switch and a big easy to read display. Great for me, because I'm short sighted, but this tuner is really easy to read from standing up.

It does introduce some noise into the signal, so I don't recommend using it in your signal chain. I made a little switch in my chain so I can just reroute the signal to the tuner and mute off my amp. Works a lot better this way because....

It has a microphone in it, that, when no guitar is plugged into the input, comes through the amplifier. The MICROPHONE comes through the AMPLIFIER.

I can see two things wrong with that sentence. MICROPHONE.

AMPLIFIER.

I don't know about you, but when someone says to me 'heeeey! wanna plug this SUPER SENSITIVE ELECTRET MICROPHONE into your 60 WATT TUBE AMPLIFIER up at STAGE VOLUME?!?!?!?', I don't usually think that's a good idea. And you know what? It's not a good idea. It hurts. A lot.

WHY DID THEY DO IT?!?!?! I NO UNDERSTAND?!?!

Other than that though, it works fine and has never broken or gone on the fritz. I'm pretty confident in it.

Fender are pretty decent, and there are a lot of dealerships around. They can usually help you out if something goes wrong.

Routing this thing through your signal chain = stupid.
Unplugging your guitar from the input and letting the microphone turn on and then get amplified through your four ten inch speakers at 90db = stupid.

Using a bypass switch = Hooray!

You can make one for about $6US, and you have a really clear, reliable stage tuner. It's good! I recommend!

Easy to use. The only switch on this effect is a power on/off switch. There are no knobs. The large display screen is very bright and easy to read. This is a fully chromatic tuner. This is the fastest electronic tuner I have ever used. It is also the most accurate tuner I have ever used. The microphone is very sensitive and accurate. I use it to tune my Fender 12 string Strat, Upright bass, Ibanez Pat Methaney model, Fender mandolin, uke, Fender HM Strat, and my beautiful Fender Bass VI! I always get an accurate tuning for all my instrument.

The tuner has no effect on the output sound. Unfortunatly there is no silent tuning mode. A silent tuning mode would have been nice.

This item has worked accuratly every time I've used it. It is made of plastic, as are most tuners. It has survived many falls on carpet. Still, it is not a rugged pedal tuner like the Fender PT-10 or Boss TU-2.

Never needed service on this item.

This is the most accurate and fastest tuner I've ever used. I use this tuner everyday to a fast acuurate tune-up. I have purchased this this item as gifts for friends.

Simple as can be, plug in, and it tells you what note you're playing and whether it's in tune. If you know what note you want, just tune until you get there. No buttons to worry about, just the big display saying what note you're closest to and whether you're off pitch or not.

Well, I don't put it in my chain of effects, cuz it's always best not to if you can...i use the second output on one of my pedals to go to it. I've never run it's output into an amp, so i don't know if it alters the sound, although i doubt it would change anything.

It's made out of plastic, like one of the Korg non-pedal tuners that almost everyone has. however, there's no footswitch or anything, you can just leave it on all the time if you have a power supply or switch it on/off with the switch on the side, so it's not gonna need to be very durable to last. It's very lightweight, but seems to be very well put together, I wouldn't worry about it unless you abuse it by being a dumbass and stomping on it instead of your wah all the time.

Never dealt directly with fender, though I've heard good things.

This tuner is great. It picks up the notes REALLY quickly. You can play a moderately paced solo and it will tell you every note you play along the way. (A good way to cheat and make sure you're in key, also would help with bending in tune lol) It seems sturdy enough, and i doubt you would have any problems with it. It does everything I could possibly need for it, it's pathetically easy to use. I'd take it over the boss Tu-2 any day, especially considering how it's 30 bucks cheaper.
