Roadie 3: The Smartest Little Roadie

The Roadie 3 is a game-changer for anyone who tunes stringed instruments regularly. It's compact, fast, and surprisingly accurate, even in noisy environments where clip-on tuners struggle. The built-in vibration sensor means you can tune electric, acoustic, or even ukulele without needing to plug in. The motor is smooth but powerful enough to turn stiff tuning pegs, and the customizable presets for different instruments are a great touch. Battery life is solid, and the color screen is bright and easy to read. The only downside is the slightly high price and the fact that it can feel bulky on smaller headstocks. Still, it's one of the best automatic tuners you can buy. perfect for performers, studio musicians, or anyone who hates manual tuning.

    No offense against my Snark, but the Roadie 3 sure makes my tuning easy. Even without that first cup of coffee for the day. The accuracy is spot on, with a pleasing "beep" and vibration when the string is tuned. The alternative tuning options are great also. I always needed two cups of coffee for this prior to getting the Roadie 3.

  • Technology has come a long way

    Amazing how smart this tuner is. Takes a few strums of the strings to lock in. I went back and retuned the strings and there was very minor adjustments made to lock in again. This took me about 3 min total to tune a 6 string electric guitar. I'm on a sl3 jackson soloist so the locking tuners help.

  • Great for restringing & tuning my Nylon String Guitar

    I have a Taylor 414cen (Nylon String) and changing strings is a real pain until the strings are totally stretched into place. The Roadie 3 is a great tool for easily unwinding and tuning up to pitch, helps make this quicker & easier.

  • This is a great tuner.

    The first time I used it, it surprised me because you have to have a good grip, or it will torque your hand. After that I was golden. Tuning is much faster now. I haven't used the winder option yet but I'm sure it will be a time saver too.
