You can add instruments and create tunings using the Roadie 3 device, or you can use the Roadie mobile app.
#PETERSON STROBE TUNER TUTORIAL GENERATOR#
As with the earlier Roadie versions, this model lacks a tone generator that lets you hear the note that you're tuning to. The Roadie 3 will then move on to the next string. The Roadie will rotate the tuning peg until the string is in tune, at which point it will vibrate and beep and the note on the screen will turn green. Simply select an instrument and a tuning in the Tuner screen, place the device on the peg closest to you (typically the low E or E2 for a traditional guitar), and pluck the string. You can choose Fast or High Accuracy tuning depending on your requirements, and you can select an ascending or descending note order. The Settings screen is where you go to enable features such as Tune Up, which brings the string down below pitch before tuning it up and tightening it. Use the Winder screen to wind and unwind strings with one of three speeds for each direction. In the Metronome screen, you can set the Metronome to beep, vibrate, or both, and configure a beat count of between 2 and 16 beats. You can even tell the Roadie 3 that you're using a capo and at which fret it's positioned. Once you select an instrument, you can choose a tuning (Standard, Open G, Open D, Open C, D Modal, and Half-Step Down, to name just a few) and see the actual note and frequency of the string as you pluck it. The Tuner screen lets you add your instruments with choices including Acoustic, Classical, and Electric Guitars, several variations of Ukulele, Mandolin, Dobro, and Banjo, and Lap and Pedal Steel Guitars.
The front holds a four-way button for selecting menu options and navigating through the various screens, and next to that is the 1.0-by-0.75-inch color screen. There’s a small backlit power button on the top of the device, next to the winding/tuning mechanism, and a USB-C power port on the bottom.

It also contains a Bluetooth radio that connects it to the Roadie mobile app for Android and iOS devices. It's powered by a rechargeable battery that uses a USB-C jack for charging and can tune up to 150 strings on a single charge. The winding mechanism is built into the top of the tuner, making it easier to view the screen while tuning your axe. At 3.5 by 2.0 by 1.0 inches (HWD), it’s a bit thinner than the Roadie 2, and instead of an angular T-shape design, its cylindrical shape and rubberized finish feels more comfortable in the palm of your hand. The Roadie 3 sports a completely different look than the first two models. Like its predecessors, the Roadie 3 still doesn’t work on bass guitars and lacks a tone generator, but it’s an awesome little tuner nonetheless and merits our Editors’ Choice award. This time around the tuner gets a handful of major improvements, including a faster rotational speed, a color screen, a built-in metronome, and a dynamic frequency display. The Roadie 3 ($129) is the latest automatic guitar tuner from Band Industries, makers of the original Roadie tuner that we reviewed back in 2016, as well as its successor the Roadie 2, which we reviewed in 2018.
