Snark All Instrument Clip On Tuner

Product Information

The VJPR is a two-in-one pedal that combines a volume display and an onboard digital chromatic tuner on a crystal-clear display screen integrated into the pedal’s footboard. In ‘volume + tuning’ mode, wind the pedal all the way to the heel-down position (no signal) and the tuner engages, and as you increase the signal, a volume readout will appear. Ernie Ball has also provided ‘volume only’ and ‘tuner only’ modes, for those who like to keep things a bit more simple.

A chromatic tuner will allow you to tune to every note in the chromatic scale, which is all 12 notes between octaves. This is useful foralternative tunings as well – as long as you know which notes you’re after. Probably not the best choice for absolute beginners, but the most all-round for any guitarist with at least a small amount of understanding.
