Professional musicians prefer strobe tuners for tuning speed and accuracy. The HotPaw inTuna Strobe Guitar Tuner allows you to quickly and accurately tune your guitar via unique, responsive, and high contrast visual displays. Optional multi-stobe tuning mode for simultaneous display of a strobe for each string... fast and accurate even in noisy environments. The inTuna guitar tuner includes both a large frequency meter and a precise pitch strobe window. You can let inTuna auto-select the guitar string being tuned, or touch the Lock icon to lock tuning to a selected string. A 6 string tuning indicator indicates the string which has been selected for pitch measurement. Above the tuning indicator is a unique waterfall waveform display within a Strobe window to assist with accurate fine tuning. Configuration options include support for 8 popular guitar tunings and a Concert-A440 frequency adjustment. Also, please take a look in the iOS App store for HotPaw Sing-inTuna, a "vocal tuner", and Music Spectrograph for sound visualization and music transcription.

Plug in. Tune up. Play a chord. If it needs more bite, turn it up. If the low strings need to hit harder, add Pulp. If the top end is getting in the way, move the microphone. Ample Juice works like the rig you already understand, because playing guitar should not feel like programming one. ONE SCREEN, LIKE AN AMP The whole signal path is in front of you: gate, boost, drive, amp, 4x12 and microphone. No pages to remember and no puzzle of hidden settings. Start with the controls you know, turn them until the guitar sits right, and leave the rest alone. FROM CLEAN ENOUGH TO LEAD READY Juice covers the ground between edge-of-breakup rhythm and a full lead voice. The first part of the dial adds body and sheen. The middle is where crunch lives. The last stretch opens quickly for sustain and saturation. Even when the gain is up, chords keep their notes instead of folding into one fizzy block. Pulp sits before the amp, where your boost pedal would. It trims low end before the clipping starts and leans into the midrange, so palm mutes land firmly and down-tuned riffs do not spread across the floor. Throw the Clean lever and the drive section steps aside; throw it back and every dirty setting is waiting where you left it. POSITION THE MIC BY TOUCH OR MOUSE No need to translate what you hear into studio jargon. Put a finger on the mic and move it, or grab it with a mouse. Position it toward the cone centre for cut, toward the edge for warmth, farther back for space, or off-axis to soften a sharp pick attack. The cabinet picture is the control—move what you see and listen as the tone follows. READY WHEN THE RIFF ARRIVES Use it as an AUv3 effect in your host or open the standalone app and choose your interface input. It adds no latency, so the note stays under your fingers. The tuner is already at the front of the rig, presets can save without stopping playback, and every control can follow MIDI or automation. 25 factory presets give you useful starting points for clean, crunch, metal, lead and more. Save the sounds that belong to your songs and take them across your devices.
