May as well just give you a card that says, “download the manual!”Īs with many technology products, there’s the upside and the downside.

So first lesson, go to the website and download the full manual! The little quick start sheet I got (which I’m guess is all you get with your Tronical equipped Gibson) is fairly pointless. Apparently they normally supply an installation wrench which is so small it’s hard to over tighten, which can damage the electronics. Although I do wish I’d had a heads up on tightening the tuner nuts. Installation takes about 10 minutes tops. To be sure it’d fit my only current Gibson (an ES135) I downloaded the template from the Tronical site and confirmed it would fit. I used ebay’s “make offer” feature and scored one fresh off a Les Paul Signature T for $125 including shipping. After discussing this with a slide specialist friend of mine who’s been using the system onstage for, what, nearly 2 years(?), I decided to see if I could pick one up to test. Since people who have no real use for such a system do buy guitars with them installed, there are plenty new ones on the used market, usually for between $150 and $200. So I’ve been closely watching the various auto-tune systems and technologies for a few years now. I’ve long been interested in a solution to carrying 3 guitars with different tunings. But for those that have an interest, there’s a serious lack of actual user reviews here. It’s a device that many simply aren’t going to benefit from. The guitar batteries were even diffucult to charge and at last I didn't like the pick ups sound: the neck was very good.I realize the majority of TGPers are probably not interested in this and I get it. I owed a Les Paul Robot limited first run but it gave me a lot of problems: the system loose the memory of the correct tunings and sometimes breakes the strings and even loose the precision in tuning. Virtual tunings make me diffident: but anyway I am curious to test the Peavey AT 200.maybe it works fine! I am a slide and open tuning specialized guitarist and I use to carry 3 or 4 guitars with me for a gig, so I always been interested in robot technology or auto tuning systems and I am agree with you that the Gibson robot guitar gives to the player a more correct vibe because it really changes the guitar tune an open E is an open E ! An open G is an Open G!

Visit Gibson to find out which guitar models have the Min-ETune system option.
You get almost the same convenience that keyboard players enjoy, not worrying about intonation and easily adjusting the tuning with a push of a button.Ĭheck out the 2013 Gibson Les Paul Future Tribute with Min-ETune in action: With a Min-ETune, you no longer need to carry multiple guitars with different tunings and you will save a lot of time with its quick tuning. The practical applications of auto-tuning are real and it will definitely benefit players that use multiple tunings in their live performances.
This is by far different from the digital tuners that "mask" the sound digitally with the right notes, producing auto-tuned sounds that do not actually match the acoustic sound of the instrument. Since Min-ETune physically turns the tuning key to adjust string tension, the sound of your guitar remains natural, it is just like having a guitar technician with sharp ears and quick hands tuning the guitar for you. Its internal lithium battery is expected to last for 80 to 100 tunings in just one charge and according to Gibson it takes as little as 3 seconds and 1 strum to get the guitar in-tune.Ī nifty feature of the Min-ETune is its Reference Tuning, it can adjust your tuning to match another instrument's imperfect tuning, very useful in situations where there are two or more guitar playing in harmony. The new Min-ETune is battery powered and it can tune your guitar into 12 of the most popular tunings, or into 6 custom tunings that you can save.
