MT100 : Does not work with a bass

5 years ago

I got this tuner as a secondary tuner to my KORG CA-1 tuner. My main goal was to use this with my bass, but alas, the thing does not pick low frequencies almost at all. Both in audio and vibration mode.

Otherwise, it has a very good amount of features. The build quality is fine, but the switch on the back and the buttons don't feel that nice. At time, this tuner feels like some cheap toy. I guess it was at least cheap.

Pros:

- Price

- Features

Cons:

- Has trouble picking up lower frequencies both in mic and vibration mode. Low E1 and B0 are not picked up at all. One has to use either harmonics or fretted notes.

- Feels cheap

- Annoying metronome beep, but one should not use this as a metronome to begin with...

This thing has been sitting in a drawer unused now for months. I would not recommend this tuner.
