I’ve always used a highly accurate Peterson tuner for live use. I would prefer to keep my pedal board extremely small and not add a tuner. Does anyone know what the specifications ( Accuracy) of the Quad Cortex built in tuner is? Thanks ---

The only thing I can say about the runner is that it is able to pickup a low F# on a detuned bass ---

good question… I’ve wondered myself… would want 0.5 cent accuracy at minimum. ---

Good question, I always use my Peterson StoboPLUS HD tuner and love it but mainly for the ‘sweetened’ tuners (e.g. Buzz Feiton etc.) ---

Bump. Does anyone have an answer to this Yet? ---

Its been 14d and no responses etc., have you reached out to Neural support via email? ---

No I haven’t. I would have thought they would monitor this forum somewhat. I have a feeling with no answer the specs are not as good as they could be. Hope I’m wrong but if I have to add a Peterson to my pedal board, so be it. ---

I don’t know which tuner you use but the StroboHD+ is small form factor and very easy to see from a few feet away. I don’t think NDSP monitors this forum unfortunately. ---

I have that tuner and also the new pedal board strobe tuner. Both are accurate, excellent tuners. ---

On-board tuner is at least as good as a TC Polytune. ---

I tested my unit against a Peterson StroboRack and found it to be on-point. As far as I can tell the QC doesn’t have a way to adjust the cents for tuning like the Peterson does but when I tested at +25c and +50c the QC’s dot was right where it should be. Seems to be very accurate although it would be nice to have a dial for adjusting the base tuning with cents like the StroboRack does. ---

Thank you for the info. I don’t need different tunings just wanted something accurate. I have no room on my new Pedal board for a tuners so actually that’s great news. I would still like to know the specs though. ---

I need to tune to A=432 for this Friday and the tuner is all out of whack when I do this. Not even close!
