D'Addario

Description

The D'Addario Equinox USB rechargeable headstock tuner provides fast, accurate and hands-free tuning for guitarists and bassists alike. Featuring an innovative clip-on design, powerful D'Addario MicroTune technology and USB recharging capabilities, the Equinox ushers in a new era of tuning convenience and precision. The Equinox helps you achieve pitch perfection and spend more time making music.

MicroTune Technology Detects Notes with Unrivaled Accuracy

Equipped with D'Addario's proprietary MicroTune technology, the Equinox offers best-in-class note detection to ensure you're in tune for every performance or practice session. Its high-definition, backlit LCD screen displays the note you're playing, as well as its pitch accuracy in real time. The Equinox can detect notes from E0 to G#6, covering the full range of an electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass, ukulele or other stringed instrument.

Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Provides 12+ Hours of Tuning

The Equinox features an integrated, rechargeable lithium-ion battery that provides over 12 hours of tuning time between charges. Simply connect the included USB cable to charge the tuner—no batteries required. The battery level indicator on the LCD screen lets you know when it's time to recharge so you're never caught without power.

Clip-On Design Allows Hands-Free Operation

Forget manually tuning each string—the Equinox attaches directly to your instrument's headstock for automatic hands-free tuning. Its adjustable clip-on bracket fits most electric guitars, acoustic guitars, bass guitars, mandolins and other stringed instruments with a headstock. Once attached, the built-in microphone detects the notes you play to provide visual tuning feedback on the LCD display.

Additional Features for Enhanced Performance

With a tuning range of A0 to G6, the Equinox covers a wide variety of stringed instruments. It features a reference pitch of 440Hz, but also allows you to select 438Hz–445Hz. An auto power-off function helps conserve battery life and the tuner can be powered on or off using the power button on the front or the sensor on the clip.

Simple Out of the Box solution

I purchased the product after months of using my phone app as the tuner. So glad I made this purchase It saves me time and I'm able to tune my guitar faster and more accurately. Would definitely buy again or recommend to a friend. I wish I would have started using this product sooner. #sweepstakes

Not using USB C in 2025 should be a crime.

It works fine but they cheaped out the charging port. They used a long time out dated micro B instead of C to save 1 or 2 pennies. This is annoying since I have a million type c cables but only a couple of micro b since I cleaned out my cable box years ago. Note that it comes with a cable but its still an annoying cheap design choice.

    Tuner is well made and seems to be accurate. Easy to see display. Display face can be oriented in many positions either in front of or behind headstock. Rechargeable battery. Eliminates need for tuner pedal on pedalboard, freeing up space for other pedals. Highly recommended.

    I use this tuner for everything; it's so much better than my last one - it's very durable and I love how it has a rechargeable battery so I don't have to change it.

    I have used other popular tuners that are reasonably priced for decades. This tuner is easier to quickly tune very accurately. The detailing on the display shows with its format when you're spot on.

  • It works

    The tuner works. I've used Snarks. It seems to work just as well in accuracy. Screen is bright and easy to read indoors. Only complaint is that the tuner rattles when plucking a string. It's not the joint or the clip. It's the tuner itself. Not horrible, but not likely to buy again

    Is the D'Addario rechargeable equinox tuner a CHROMATIC tuner? Can it be used to tune a hammered dulcimer? The sales person at the store said it is a chromatic tuner, but nothing says that it is a chromatic tuner.

    It will tune your dulcimer
