Howdy

Agreed completely, RM. I turned the page, saw a circuit board, got excited about a DIY project and noticed the circuit board was a guitar tuner...BORING! Then, I read the article ('cos TapeOp is just TOO short). Incredibly informative.

The bit about no two tuners being in tune with each other makes me want to get one of those Korg rack tuners and have all the players use that.

I spent three months assisting on John Fogerties "Blue Moon Swamp" Album in the early '90's. It was amazing...he's a FANATIC. He had a Peterson Strobe tuner that he calibrated to A440 from some old cheezy casio keyboard that he had.....every morning...then he'd use that to tune ALL gtrs's basses, etc. Also...they were using a fibre skin bass drum head...chaged every day....snare drum heads, changed evry 4 takes (or so)....by him(Fogerty)! Lot's of more stories from those sessions,,,oh...and three months were a drop in the bucket...he spent FIVE YEARS on that album...great album though :w:
