But it's purple so it's better.

The mushroom kingdom sounds in this thing are intriguing. I can't recall a chorus that sounds quite like this one. FF to 1:58:

Oh shit, that really does sound cool.

Yass--the pitchy glitchy stuff at the end was boss.

Pitchy Patchy?

How many cents for your purples?

not sure i could appreciate the difference b/w .02 and .1 cent accuracy though

Maybe not, but if you do your own setups or need to set your intonation it becomes a significant difference. The turbo tuner is one of the best gear purchases I’ve ever made.

I strongly agree!

Though both are much better than Boss. The TU-3 is +/- 1 cent, while the old TU-2 was +/- 3 cents.

None of my guitars can probably be intonated properly anyway. So, I embrace their flaws as instruments.

Turbo Tuner is a classic though. Too bad it doesn't come in purple.

I just found out that Snark is owned by the Evets Corporation. I'm never buying one of their stupid tuners again. My ear isn't even that good, but I can still tell their accuracy is probably +/- 5 cents.

So it's Friday the 15th and I think there were supposed to be 3 releases today. The Mandala and Aurora ($199) look to be stocked and ready for shipment. https://banananaeffects.com/collections/all

Meanwhile it appears OBNE is going for a lazy, afternoon release. I guess their policy is that if they're sleeping in until noon on Friday, no US dealers can sell these until the OK gang can flop out of bed and comb their tangled bears.

They've got tangled bears?

This is somewhat ironic to me, because (too many) years ago, when I bought a Peterson VS1, it was touted as the one to get for fine work like setting intonation and reputed to be a favorite among piano tuners, and I think it had that same +- 0.1 cent spec. Well, tech moves on, but maybe not Peterson's.... Tell you what though, the newer displays have hella better visibility which is a yuge part of getting the work product from the tuner to the tuned.

If I see Chank makin' heart eyes at this I will be seriously concerned.

[Chankgeez]

That one's not tangled enough for me.
