Clip on tuners that work on Low B

[fretmeister]

Do they exist?

I've had Snarks and the little Planet Waves thing - but all seem to be awful on the B.

Are there any that work?

Intellitune.

But in general terms, for a Low B you should always tune against the 12th fret harmonic - you'll get much better results.

My Polytune works OK.

I find my Snark SN8 works ok on low B? I use it on my guitars and my NXT EUB with no problems? At worst, sometimes on the NXT I have to be careful where I place it on the headstock to get the low B (i.e. on the B/E side), but it's usually fine.

I got a couple of cheap ones from China `Eno` or something that work better with my low B than my korg pedal!

I've had results with the Planet Waves when I've moved it around the headstock.

Polytune clip is the best clip on tuner I've used - very accurate
I sometimes have problems with it picking up low e but I just tune on the 12th fret harmonic
Only play 4 string so no experience of low B

On a guitar, the polytune is so much more accurate than the Snark type it almost feels like a new guitar

There's one for sale in other musically related stuff

Another vote for the Polytune Clip.

Polytune clip on. Works perfectly for me on both of my fives' B string.

Polytune clip again, have a 5-string headless (low B)so clip it on to the volume knob, works a treat!!
