I know exactly what you're talking about. Some marketing genius thought applying a spray-on velvet texture would make the device somehow more elevated or posh. Unfortunately, with time the organic components in the applied velvet texture oxidized and became a sticky goo. I wouldn't stick a bandaid (a "plaster" for Europeans) on my guitar, so I'm certainly not sticking this nasty thing on it. Make no mistakes... This was just sitting in a drawer - in the original box - for a couple years. So gross. Next.
Every Snark I've ever had breaks for no apparent reason. It's like one day they just randomly stop turning on, then you get a new battery and they still don't turn on, and that's just the end of them. They're unreliable and they also aren't accurate when they are functioning.
I love my Snark! and yes they do publish their accuracy ratings. the latest one I bought a few months ago is the nearest to a strobe tuner that I've seen from an inexpensive tuner.
I once had a snark for a number of years that eventually the outside layer of plastic disintegrated into this gross sticky shit that wouldn’t come off no matter what. Turns out I wasn’t the only one this happened to. I’ve never returned to Snark
Same happened to me when I went to use it today. It's like someone melted the damn thing. Tried using a baby wipe and the paint and plastic just kept coming off so I'm online looking for a good alternate for my banjo.
I've been using Snark tuners for years.And I've never had one problem, not 1 and by the charge of the boy's been in great too.Intonation, and all it sounds like you.Just don't know how to f****** set up a guitar or 2 Actually tune one properly and set your intonation properly.
I've never seen anything in the instrument industry be the best selling thing and also not work. Snark has the accuracy on the box, and they work fine. I have a korg strobe tuner I use for intonation and I've ab'd them without much surprise. The strobe is slightly more accurate, but my korg is another tenth more accurate than the sledgehammer, which is the same as the snark. And of course much like many videos on RUclips this is making a claim without any comparisons or anything like that. I'm not saying this guy is a liar, but it's hard to argue with the buying power of everyone who plays, and my anecdotal experiences. I just don't see how snark would become so big without having some sort of Apple marketing campaign. Also at my local music store all the employees just tune ukuleles and guitars with the snark stuff, then recommend them as tuners, even when there's plenty more options that would make the store more money. Is there some sort of conspiracy afoot?
Agreed. If you know how to play guitar and you know your guitar... the accuracy of a tuner will get you to where you need to be and you'll make the adjustments from your ear... I'm considering buying this guys' recommendation but I've had 2 snarks in the past... lost them via moving multiple time... the snark is a helpful tool to get me where I need to be to sound good on my 50 year old acoustic. Always loved them.
The Peterson is great!! I love it, at that price point though and the way I lose stuff I wouldn’t take it out of my house haha but someone more responsible than I, definitely an incredibly good option.
A Snark will get to you pretty close to being in tune. I owned one previously, but the build quality was subpar. The wires failed from fatigue so I tossed it. Going to try the Snark X to see if it will hold up this time. Some of my friends use them and they seem to be happy with them.
That’s looks sick actually! The metronome tuner combo is a great idea. 1 very accuracy is p standard for a headstock tuner, prob 3x better than Snark per estimates
I've had 5 snark tuners. I've finally given up on them. The readout on one was so dim that it was hard to read INDOORS, even with a new battery. Another simply would not accurately tune. I was hopelessly out of tune with the band and had to give up and tune to the piano on one string and use harmonics for the rest. And yes, it was in 440 mode. But the bottom line is that once I stopped seeing them as the gold standard I realized they simply were not that good. I'm on my computer right now because I'm looking for another tuner. One that may actually work.
Your comment could have been easily written by me with the same experiences albeit with just 4 snark tuners. I'm also looking for another brand tuner during the thanksgiving holidays and hopefully get one during the black Friday sales.
For a mini pedal tuner hands down I would go with the Sonic Research Turbo Tuner. It is affordable and it is the most accurate tuner, true bypass, small footprint. It’s like as accurate as a Peterson. When the Polytune came out it was pretty crazy and understandably everyone was stoked on the technology, but because you can tune every string at once you trade in some accuracy. I think they’re alright and I’d take them over a KORG Pitchblack in terms of durability. But turbo tuner all the way!
@@ShreducationNation I somehow just now got the message you had replied. Crazy. I still haven't bought a new tuner lol So this info should help me choose. I appreciate it.
So, I just got the Korg in the mail. The aaa battery IS a big selling point. That said, I DO like the brightness, and it seems accurate. But it does have the same problems all headstock tuners seem to have. that is, it kinda jumps around regarding the readings. I got the "100" model with the tapered knobs and the aaa battery. So far I really like it.
In the sledgehammer custom 100? I haven’t had it jump around personally but I do know that situation and it sucks. Glad to hear the rest is working out! I randomly happened upon a USB C rechargeable Korg somebody left at my studio and I’ve been using that as well lately and that’s been cool! Just for home use
the clip part of my black snark broke. the joint part of my red snark broke. the silver one works, for now. I might never buy another snark clip tuner again
That's a lot of f-words around not much content...Americans.... Snarks are fine for what they are made for(!!): Inexpensive yet usable tools for practising and small live situations. If one gets lost or stolen, I couldn't care less. I've got a couple of them kicking around in my apartment and rehearsal space because I'm lazy and wouldn't accurately tune at all if I had to fetch it from another room. I don't know about the older models, but I never had a problem with mine in sunlight. I once had an older version and the only issue I had was with the low B string on my bass. The newer super tight - no issues! Are they tools for using for a studio recording? Definitely NO! But seriously I'd rather buy each of my bandmates a cheap snark than hearing them play with their instruments tuned half-arsed by ear! Also pleas note: The guitar is an imperfect instrument when it comes to tuning, like most musical instruments, especially wind/brass. As long as you're not in a studio situation with double-tracking (in this case PLEASE tune with a proper plugin and do that before every take), don't go crazy on +- fractions of a cent. All the people (and that's most of you!) who pick lightly while tuning and then hit those strings like a champ when playing: This will screw up the effective tuning more than any snark on the whole messed up planet.
Thanks for shedding light. I bought the blue snark for my son whose been playing acoustic for 10+ years. The very first snark tuner we bought worked fine, but this new one ( for some reason the new one doesn't have the 2 black triangular buttons on back.... not that I know what those buttons did) tunes inaccurately. He's actually been tuning by ear & asked me to take it back & return it. I'm still confused how the 10 year old snark performed better? Also would help if you explain what the strobe mode is. Just a mom who wants to get it right.
Ya, i have 4 differnt color snark tuners, and 4 fender and gibson guitars none of the tuners are the same note, i have to use the same tuner on all my guitars or they are out of tune with each other. no way to adjus stupid Snark thing to an standard open "E" note ? - Buy a tuning fork in "E" and learn to tune up by ear, much better.
I bought a Super Snark about a month ago (different models). I find that it is not very accurate. The increments in the flat/sharp lights are too general. It is best when tuning just one string, for example, the e string. Then tuning the rest of the strings to that E.
You are correct in that it is not very accurate. They do not publish accuracy ratings. It’s good for a stocking stuffer or as a prop in a college dorm but to actually tune your guitar it just sucks
I recently bought a Snark tuner - it works fine, is accurate, and I can see it when I’m tuning the guitar (my eyesight isn’t great). I don’t think there’s much more I could ask for for £20.
Funny video. First thing that popped up when I searched for a tuner superior to my SNARK...because it REALLY IS INACCURATE, and it seems to be getting worse. Particularly bad if used on a 'boxier' sounding little parlour-type guitar where the mids are more forward and it's not as bright. Plus the display is nearly impossible to see outside, AND the diode segments seem to be degrading/disappearing intermittently, as though it's physically falling apart. I do still have my little steel tuning fork for finding A440; that's infallible as long as there's air to carry the wave to my ear, while I still have my hearing. Still....I'll look into your recommendation. Thanks!
I had two red ones that the finish started melting and coming off on my hands. hard to clean up. On both the ball joint the slipped right out of the holder and wou;d no longer hold. I had a brand new super snark still in the box. At first attempt to use the plastic where the ball joint attaches cracked off. A better and not pricey alternative is the D'addario eclipse. It also comes in a usb rechargeable version.
hahahahahaah thats awesome. Yes while although I am an Ernie Baller now, Daddy Arrio makes great stuff and the usb rechargable is so smart and it is so odd that most people are behind the curve on that. EB just came out with their own version a couple weeks ago as well.
@ShreducationNation Just genuinely curious. I'm watching a guitar video, and there's a pro-wrestler poster up from back in the golden age. It caught my attention. Especially because, being an 80's kid, I watched The Rockers back in the day and know who he is, but I'm aware many don't. I'm guessing you're a wrestling fan, which is alright by me!
dude you drop more F bombs then a trucker relax , any how the best snark is the new super snark in red i also have other snarks as well and my favoriet is the super snark i would agree if the sunlight is hittingthe tuner then yup its hard to read but you can also if you can at least get your low E intune then you can harmoic tune the rest or you can 5th fret or you can learn to tune buy ear. snarks average 23.99 cnd so not really cheap. but not expeisive there are alof of bad tuners out there and snark when thehy first came out were not that great but over time they have become the hottest selling tuner on the maket and they work great so your ideas that they dont or cant tune a guitar prooperly is total HS most tuners infact have a hardtime in direct sunlight strobe tuners are great for setting intonation but other wise i have no other use for them , i play out door gigs and yes its hard to tune witha snark it the sun so are many others when sun is hitting the display but like i said get the E in and your golden. your video sounds more like a sponsered video but at the same time you show a huge lack of matureity with all the F bombs, if you dont like a product thats fine but you also need to prove your right and you failed in this video to prove to me and others that your right about your statements have a great day.
No hate. But 30 dollars is more than my family earns in more than 2 days of working. Both mother and father. So I am just gonna go with 5 dollar tuner from Indian Amazon.😅
@@ShreducationNation According to amazon, this doesn't use an AA battery. Interestingly, a lot of folks also complained about breaking the door for the pancake battery it DOES use. I saw a picture of the battery door. It's a pancake battery door. Edit: I went to the Korg site and it turns out the Custom 100 DOES use a triple A battery. That pushed me over the top as well. And it's only 23 bucks at amazon. Arrives tomorrow. I just hope this can handle my five string basses. My cheater mode is to fret the fifth fret on the B to get "E". Frankly, I think it makes the tuning of the B more accurate for the way I use the string anyway... I still have one "working" snark, but I leave that in the case with one of my backup basses.
@ShreducationNation the only problems I've got with mic tuners would be if you're outside with traffic. That's where the vibration tuners definitely shine lol
Always gotta give first dibs to the boys in Fort Wayne (much props to my guy Justin Sunday) but you can actually get em off Amazon prime shipping I’m p sure. And if you hate it you can return it back to a Kohls within 60 days without the box. Everyone wins.
If we’re talking just clips the stroboclip is incredible and I do own one but these Korgs have the same accuracy at less than half the price. For pedal tuners I love the Peterson strobostomp but again, Sonic research Turbo Tuner gets you same strobe tuning accuracy in a way smaller chassis for around $109
TU3 is great and that’s a great price! Pun both intended and not. Pedal tuner is almost always preferable for electric but a lot of times clips will work better for acoustics live
@@ShreducationNation I was going to mention that saying "fuck" repeatedly makes you seem ignorant, but upon further consideration, I don't think that's entirely the case.
I just get the cheap shitty Aroma tuners off of Ebay. They work and they are cheap so I don't give a fuck when some asshole steals one or one breaks or I lose one ect....
@@ShreducationNation Bro... I think of clip on tuners like cigarette lighters; They are just going to disappear so why give a shit? If you are having problems tuning in the sun... Tune in the shade before the gig or during breaks, If the guitar can't stay in tune for a set then that's a whole other issue. A good idea is to purposely tune new string high to stretch them before a gig. If that doesn't work, get better tuner pegs. If that doesn't work throw the fucking guitar in the trash or donate it to an Ethiopian.
@@ShreducationNation that’s good seeing as I now hone my skills on a 1996 Silver Sparkle that has been modded into the Gibson Hall of Fame!! Ohhhh yeah, black belt here I come!!
i agree, i must have 4 snark tuners.. and none of them are the same tune the same pitch.. save your money Tune up by ear ! (spend small money on a "E" tuning fork.) junk.
MY sUPER sNARK TUNER IS THE WORST TUNER IVE EVER OWNED. i wasnt noticing the accuracy i am pu off by the fact it has such a slow responce i must deadedn the string and pluck anew each time i make an adjustment n . I hate it!
Yes, it is very annoying. I really hope he is just playing a character. But probably not. When people try to use profanity like the word “fuck” too much they usually use it very awkwardly and it sounds pretentious.

I once had a snark for a number of years that eventually the outside layer of plastic disintegrated into this gross sticky shit that wouldn’t come off no matter what. Turns out I wasn’t the only one this happened to. I’ve never returned to Snark
Bless you for being able to hold onto one for years. Any that I have owned the little gooseneck part snaps in half somehow
Mine just recently fell off my guitar like MAYBE 3 feet and fucking EXPLODED into a million pieces. Never again, Snark. Never again.
Happened to me as well. Wtf is that? Took a baby wipe to it still wouldn't come off.

I just hope this can handle my five string basses. My cheater mode is to fret the fifth fret on the B to get "E". Frankly, I think it makes the tuning of the B more accurate for the way I use the string anyway...
I still have one "working" snark, but I leave that in the case with one of my backup basses.
I use a Korg GA-1 my mom got me one with my first guitar I’m on my 2nd one now and I’ve been playing for 25 years
Something’s never get old
I just use an app on my phone called pro guitar tuner. And then I use an app to remove the ads.
Not bad, I like the guitar toolkit and then the Peterson strobe tuner app
@ShreducationNation the only problems I've got with mic tuners would be if you're outside with traffic. That's where the vibration tuners definitely shine lol
i'm sold but sweetwater is sold *out*. where do i get one of these bad boys?
Always gotta give first dibs to the boys in Fort Wayne (much props to my guy Justin Sunday) but you can actually get em off Amazon prime shipping I’m p sure. And if you hate it you can return it back to a Kohls within 60 days without the box. Everyone wins.
I missed everything after the min keyboard blower a Hahahaha
It’s actually just a huge huge keyboard
Agreed! Snark is junk! Break and don’t tune accurately. Peterson has a badass tuner.
If we’re talking just clips the stroboclip is incredible and I do own one but these Korgs have the same accuracy at less than half the price. For pedal tuners I love the Peterson strobostomp but again, Sonic research Turbo Tuner gets you same strobe tuning accuracy in a way smaller chassis for around $109
1:50 No 432Hz? Not for me.
They’re missing on that one
hmmm...seems to work fine for me. Guess I'm just a mark ass buster.
This description seems possible but not plausible! | ) that’s a Geordie from Star Trek smiley face
There fine , nice tunners .
Way too much cursing for me to watch your video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😭😭😭
Sorry, dude, but I've had a Snark for the past 3 years and it works just fine. Maybe you're using yours wrong.
just bought one- so fucking done with snark
Sick! Let me know how you like it. My two Korgs are still holdin strong
how about the Boss Tu3? my local shop has a used one for $69 (nice) and it looks brand new
TU3 is great and that’s a great price! Pun both intended and not. Pedal tuner is almost always preferable for electric but a lot of times clips will work better for acoustics live
My top rec is the Sonic Research turbo tuner mini, strobe tuner that’s super accurate and not expensive, but can’t beat that price on a Tu 3
And how about when they simply refuse to pick up your note and you end up having to ask your bandmate to give you a pitch
Best shirts in the business!
Thank you, lots more where this came from
@@ShreducationNation if i ever get my shirts to print can i send you some? Would u wear conspiracy inspired tees...?
@@RoyalDelux yes 💯 if you think it would cover my heaving pecs then I’m in
@@ShreducationNationwe'll try to accommodate them but modern fabric tensile strength could only withstand so much brawn....
@@RoyalDelux hey the truth is always enough. I’ll try to do the opposite of bulk. Godspeed.
The Pro is $10 more than the custom 100.
try not to use the f word - i think you used it +25 times
Thanks for telling it like it is ;( didn’t realize this until you brought it up. I will do better
Yup , younger people today cant talk with out say F 25 times in one minute .

@@ShreducationNation I was going to mention that saying "fuck" repeatedly makes you seem ignorant, but upon further consideration, I don't think that's entirely the case.
@UCaFJycHiJP%F0%9F%98%80-wv1t4FSUTiXA i think there are a lot of other examples that make me seem ignorant. Bonus points if you can find those!
My super tight is falling apart as the plastic has gone brittle.
sounds about right!

I just get the cheap shitty Aroma tuners off of Ebay. They work and they are cheap so I don't give a fuck when some asshole steals one or one breaks or I lose one ect....
Damn those are really cheap. Maybe you do have the right idea.
@@ShreducationNation Bro... I think of clip on tuners like cigarette lighters; They are just going to disappear so why give a shit?
If you are having problems tuning in the sun... Tune in the shade before the gig or during breaks, If the guitar can't stay in tune for a set then that's a whole other issue.
A good idea is to purposely tune new string high to stretch them before a gig. If that doesn't work, get better tuner pegs.
If that doesn't work throw the fucking guitar in the trash or donate it to an Ethiopian.
My 12 year old snark got (gods honest truth) eaten by my dogs (plural) yesterday and im reluctant to get a new one.
I am a shitty guitar player but I can redeem myself by stating I have never owned one these allegedly POS tuners!😆
That immediately gets you a brown belt in guitar
@@ShreducationNation that’s good seeing as I now hone my skills on a 1996 Silver Sparkle that has been modded into the Gibson Hall of Fame!! Ohhhh yeah, black belt here I come!!
So much snark in this video.
I guess I really missed the mark ;(
@@ShreducationNation 😁
i agree, i must have 4 snark tuners..
and none of them are the same tune the same pitch.. save your money
Tune up by ear ! (spend small money on a "E" tuning fork.)
junk.
Snark tuners are not that bad... So many musicians can tell the same...
Buy your fish a real tank
I agree Snarks have gone down the pan get a Boss TU3 pedal tuner saves running off to the toilets to tune your guitar 🤣
Snarky 🥶
MY sUPER sNARK TUNER IS THE WORST TUNER IVE EVER OWNED. i wasnt noticing the accuracy i am pu off by the fact it has such a slow responce i must deadedn the string and pluck anew each time i make an adjustment n . I hate it!
we are speaking the same language my guy, couldn't have said it better 🙌
😢 converting to my country's currency is like 100 moneys .....
Bought one earlier today and the thing is gay ass. Look forward to returning on Monday 😖

2 questions: 1. Stop swearing. 2. Stop sweating. Dude, get some AC.
1 suggestion: start using question marks (?)
@@ShreducationNation You passed the test! - Very perceptive on your part.
you really need to work on you communication skills. Cussing is the worst way to get your point across.
i completely agree, this is why i keep getting rejected as shift lead at my local Curves fitness :(
Looks like u should be working
You are wrong Snark products are good and you need to stop swearing
Ok will do daddy

Yes, it is very annoying. I really hope he is just playing a character. But probably not. When people try to use profanity like the word “fuck” too much they usually use it very awkwardly and it sounds pretentious.
To much swearing

Never had any issues with Snark tuners. To each their own.
I use intellitouch, works really well, bought it for $30 US but I'm sure its higher now.
