    Roadie 2 - Standalone Automatic Smart Guitar Tuner for all String Instruments (Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Mandolin, Banjo,Ukulele, etc.)

    • It said it was tuning the wrong string and to make sure I connected the roadie to the correct peg
    • when i'm tuning to drop tunings, it'll often tell me "Wrong string" when I am on the correct string, sometimes it will try to completely unwind my string when tuning, sometimes it will make a tuning correction and then go the other way and completely reverse what it just did, sometimes it just can't make up it's mind on if the string is in tune and just continuously sit there making adjustments without ever getting in tune
    • This happened even on strings it previously tuned...and yes it was set for the correct string
    • It has broken a string before.
    • Fun when it works and perfectly tunes a 12 string - not so much when it gets confused and goes spinning hog wild and breaks strings
    • Popped a string on the 12string and kept claiming wrong string on it and on the mandolin
    • Sometimes it would go the wrong way and insist on tightening a string to the breaking point, other times I would play a note 10 or 12 times before the Roadie would recognize it and attempt to tune the guitar, and now the Roadie internal gears just spin around without turning the tuning pegs until it finally says "wrong string."I wasted a lot of time and money on an unreliable product that lasted a little over the 30 day return period, so I am not happy.
    • However, it then did not recognize my A and D strings as being the correct strings and it wouldn’t tune them.
    • so I am unsure what they are talking about and find the mixed messaging a bad practice.- Fender American Deluxe Strat, the machine heads were too small for this device (thus my theory is the vibration from the string doesn't trvael well to the tuner) tuned the low string quite a bit flat, especially the low E string and for whatever reason could not deal with the D string.
    • Not working right or of the box, says wrong string all the time and tunes way high or way low until I physically pull it away.
    • Initially they’re was a lock up problem when the Wrong string was plucked for the correct selection and the R2 would error and lock up
