Roadie 2 Tuner vs original Roadie

The tuners. Not versus a knuckle-dragging alcoholic that lugs your guitars from show to show!

I've been sent one of these to review and wanted to know if anyone else had tried one of the original ones?

Just got mine delivered today and will be giving it a good month of use before I write my thoughts on it.

Anyway, if anyone here has tried the original one can they let me know what you think.

I think its a bit of a gimmick. The best tuner is the one that works the quickest and easiest. In my case it’s a TU3.

It should make tuning so much easier than the laborious and exhausting process it's become. Sometimes I'm too tired to play even the simplest of chords after I've been through the harrowing experience of tuning.
Why have people become so lazy in this technological age?

Which is what I said in my original article

So, they've sent me one to use myself and write about, as I never tried the original I wondered if anyone here had.

What happens when it runs out of battery and you realise that you don't know how to tune your guitar by yourself?

I gave this tuner a fair crack of the whip and wrote a review about my experiences with one over at Gear News, so if anyone is thinking about buying one, take a look here first perhaps.
