USB Electric Guitar

The QT11 from Qwik Tune has all the basic essentials you need in a portable guitar or bass tuner. The “electric pitchpipe” plays the note for you, or you can tune each individual string, while the display tells you which string you are tuning and whether you are flat or sharp. The built-in mic is highly sensitive, and the speedy metering will get you tuned quickly and easily. Batteries included. Check price.

Feature:
The product came with batteries which was nice. The most useful feature is the ability to plug an electric guitar directly into it which by-passes the built in mic allowing tuning to be performed even in the most noising environments, and you don’t need an amp or any other power source to do this.

The built in Mic is also very handy for acoustic guitars. The least useful feature of the QT-11 I found was the electronic pitch pipe. It sounded too electronic. This tuner tunes your guitar to standard tuning and nothing else. If you want to tune to anything other than that, good luck. It only works for EADBGE tuning. Still could for a lower B string on a 7 string guitar, though. The electronic pitch pipe is somewhat useful.

Quality:
Good hard quality to break. The QT-11 appears to be well made. With its small light compact size it rates the QT-11 suitable for on the road use. The only possible problem what see with the QT-11 is that it does not have a light so it could be used in low light conditions.

Sound:
Have lead to connect to the box of an acoustic guitar. The automatic pitch pipe doesn’t sound like it is real.

This product would be much better if it had an actual recording of each string being played, and an ear phone jack so you could have the option of using a nice pair of head phones to better hear the tone.

Ease of Use:
Sometimes it mistakes a string for another string, even when its well tuned, but its not too bad.

Tuning the top 3 strings is easy as pie, but when you get into the higher pitched strings it can get very aggravating, as the tuner will switch from low E, to G, to B, very quickly so it becomes hard to tune. But if you have a couple of free minutes to work with it, you still get all the strings in tune perfectly.

Value:
This tuner is pretty inexpensive. Other tuners tend to go for a bit higher prices.

Desirability:
The QT-11’s small compact size, price, and features make it one of those must have things.
Should be full black and yellow it would look better than silver. Very cheap, simple, accurate. Check latest price.

Overall:
Good for beginners and students who will use the tuner is a quite setting. Not a tuner for gigs, or ‘open mic night’. overall its an easy simple tuner.

Its ease of use is what sold it for me over other products. Other features would be nice, but for what you get for the price, it is a good value. The thing like most is its ability to plug directly into an electric guitar without needing anything else. May it is needs a better sounding pitch pipe, and a light.
