Review quickie: FZone PT-01

 

The FZone PT-01 is a simple tuner pedal. It's Chinese & available online for a bargain (different online stores offer different price points in view of seasonal discounts, shopper mileage claims, etc.). You won't see one in the stores, definitely.

Some of us are really particular when it comes to a tuner pedal. At one end of the spectrum, some players insist on pinpoint accuracy & strobe technology. At the opposite end, some are content with getting no frills tuning done. The PT-01 has gists of both. It's darn user friendly & delivers tuning accuracy for both the working musician (stage use) & bedroom rockers alike. My only beef with this pedal is that it needs to boot up with every initial use. This is detrimental if you are after quick tuning on stage & you have forgotten to boot it up while your drummer is already clicking down for the next song. Also, this pedal should be made readily available at the stores, it's something good that everyone should try & it's downright affordable.
