#Live tuning device

I need a device or pedal that visually shows me the tuning of the note I'm playing. I do extended whammy bends that last several measures and bend to and from half a dozen different notes. I'm good enough to hit the notes accurately and sound good, but I chase perfection.

I need a device that I can reference visually while I'm playing live that will let me nail the perfect tuning on each bend. The tuning feedback latency needs to be SUPER low for this. It needs to show me close up detailed tuning information that will let me easily visually see the difference between 5-10 cents. Needs to be entirely chromatic.

So far no tuner I've ever used fits the bill so I figured I'd ask here.

Usually the problem is that the tuner is not responsive enough to get quick feedback about the note I'm bending. Another common issue is that the readout of the tuner is not easily seen while I'm stood up playing. Sometimes the issue is that the tuner UI isn't detailed enough and can't show up to 5 cents accuracy.

those strobe style tuners are easier to read probably

#

also : wehat kind of music uses measure long bends like that ?

I don't know which tuners are called strobe tuners, but for the reasons I mentioned in the post, every tuner pedal I've used is unfit for the job

sustainiac is not a type of music 😛

I have many solos that are a single plucked note that gets bent and whammy'd and shift pedal'd to every note for the solo over a 45 second period

I know how it sounds ... kinda dislike the lack of attack on the notes

Gets harder to do this on my fretless, it takes my full focus to stay on tune, would be a relief to have a quick enough tuner to help out is all
