TC Electronics Polytune Tuner

Related image

If you are a guitarist, this is a necessity! Unlike all other tuners, this clip on tuner has the ability to tune all strings at once. This is very useful for those situations in when you can’t just tell everyone to be quiet so that you can tune–that wastes time and isn’t very efficient. As a musician, you have to come prepared and be independent when it comes to your own gear. 

Out of all the tuners that I’ve seen before, this tuner is indeed the sleekest and most functional. There are obviously cheaper and more affordable alternatives out there but if you’re looking for quality and reliability, this tuner is for you. 

Electro-Harmonix Freeze Pedal

As a guitarist or bassist, you’ve probably seen and maybe own a variety of pedals. There’s hundreds of pedals out there and each and everyone of them is different. One that really stands out to me is the Freeze Pedal by Electro-Harmonix. What makes this pedal different is that it doesn’t make you sound any more different than you already do, thats not the purpose of this pedal. This pedal works by essentially freezing whatever you play and keeps it as a static constant pitch.

From the top of my head, there arent many uses for this pedal that come to mind. One use I can think of is playing a pedal note and then playing over it. I find that method of using good for both performances and practice because say you’re practicing the modes, having a pedal note there can easily help you improve how you hear the relationship between intervals of the scale youre practicing. 


The Power of the EBOW

If you are a bassist or guitarist and you want to try out something new, you should check out the EBow. The Ebow is a small device, made mostly of plastic. There aren’t any other higher quality ones but from the videos you can watch on the EBow, I think it’s amazing how much of a sound you can get with this. The way it works is that it produces its own small magnetic field that amplifies the sound of the string its on.

While not many people are aware of its existence, there are others who find it very “satisfying” because how it sounds. Personally I dont own one but from what Ive seen and have heard, it can produce a very powerful tone that is otherwise not achievable by any other means. I cant really talk much more about it because its hard to explain so I will leave you off with this short video.
