I've been using Pano Tuner for years on iphone (and is available on Android) to great results. In fact I use it to do vocals sometimes when I'm tracking to see how pitchy I am. Also fits the brief of being fully chromatic. Can adjust the A freq too down to 432 if you're one of THOSE nerds.

Free with ads & I've never been bothered to subscribe. They probably have full access to my SSN, PHI or whatever else is hidden in the EULA that I am unaware of who the fuck knows.

Full version looks like gives you temperament options and ad removal.

GStrings works great for me.

Pano Tuner

You, me, and this guy



I’ll try the G-strings thing, too. The Pano Tuner is handy but I use a real tuner when I’m in the same room as one.

Considering that you should shield all surfaces of the cavity, including the walls and the back of the cover, I don't think you're going to accomplish that with a single brass plate on one surface.

It's not so much about having a thicker shield, but having a fully-enclosed cavity. EMF doesn't necessarily travel in a straight line perpendicular to the surface of your guitar.

You can actually get pretty decent shielding with wire mesh, as long as you fully surround the cavity and all shields are connected to each other. Faraday Cage

That’s me UTFSF. Can someone link me to the copper tape or whatever it is yall use to shield guitars?

Sidebar: the noise on single coils is pretty bad in my studio. Possibly due to two runs of power lines parallel to two of my studio's outer walls. The least humming I've ever heard from a single coils guitar was a tele that was meticulously copper taped.

You can (often? sometimes?) find the adhesive copper tape in garden supply places for much lower prices than from stewmac or etc sold as "slug tape." It's the same stuff, though you might want to confirm that the adhesive is conductive. Some of the generic amazon stuff is even branded for both purposes.

I have also used common aluminum tape. Like what you can find in the heating cooling duct area of hardware store. I covered the entire cavity of my jazzmaster in it and also the back of the pick guard. I folded a little of the tape over so the cavity and pick guard are in conductive contact and soldered a little wire from ground to the tape. You can solder directly to both aluminum and copper tape. This creates a grounded shield around all electronics and halved the buzz from my very noisy early 90s JM. It's like extending the shield of your guitar cable around the interior of your guitar and how they should come from the factory... but they don't. It's also why chassis of gear are connected to ground.

Shielding is good and important but one can also reduce noise dramatically by having the guitar player turn slowly up to 180 degrees to find a sweet spot where the hum dips out almost entirely. I know this is common knowledge to many/most of us, but always surprised how many quite good guitar players I've had in the studio that were not aware of this as a repeatable, known way to help address hum issues in short order w/out major surgery.

As a sidebar to the sidebar, I sometimes wonder if that's how the term shoegaze actually originated since a Jazzmaster is single coils often combined w/ a lot of distortion: guitar player finds the sweet spot and then firmly plants themselves.

That’s exactly what my room is like. You can hear it even after I fixed the amp
