Tuner: do you want the magic ball removed?

[seattleguitarist]

I am happy the ball is staying

People were confused because it was never properly explained.

I didn't like the ball because I didn't understand it. I read a simple explanation on it today and now I get it. Very simple really and very cool. I am really glad it is staying.

welcome to the dark side, young padawan

PS : according to the ball position, you're out of tune.

I'm one of the people who has mentioned having trouble with the tuner. In my case, the 8 ball doesn't have anything to do with my issues. Actually, to the contrary, it is much easier to tune my top 6 strings using it. I do still have problems tuning my low B's, but that is an issue that existed before the 8 ball was added. I'm looking forward to checking out the improvements in 7.01 - would be awesome to pull the tuner from my rack.

I have added it back. If you don't like the ball I recommend ignoring it.

Wow - thanks a mint Cliff!

 

[da771]

Thank you Cliff !!!
For those who do not, you can make the switch ball

If one day you still want to save space and add perceived resolution, make it a snooker ball!

Doctor, it hurts when I do this...

 

[steverosburg]

Thanks, Cliff! I like it, but I also was not going to complain if you removed it, because I understand how annoying all the constant complaining is.

I have been really trying to avoid becoming a "fanboy", but the GREAT tone I'm getting alongside repeated demonstration of GREAT customer service is making it difficult to resist.

I think I'll almost feel sorry for the first person that whines about the tuner once 7.0.1 is released... almost...

 

[PALYGAP]

Yeah, keep on rolling ! Maybe the ball should bounce with joy then it is in tune.

 

[TubeAmpNut]

Should Cliff keep the tuner as is?

Signs point to yes...

Ha ha, same here.
Despite your best intentions to resist being a fanboy, the Axe FX II turns you into a gibbering , screaming , hyperventilating, teary fanboy...

God, did I just say that?

He already said he's putting it back, yesterday. Yet the thread continues...

I'm glad it's staying, I love using it, long time big fan of strobo type tuners.

 

[Secret80'sMan]

I never used the ball before and now I can't imagine living without it. I'm so glad it got its stay of execution. My tuning was balls on accurate at lasts nights gig.

In light of Cliff's recent comments in this thread: http://forum.fractalaudio.com/axe-fx-ii-bugs/58491-magic-8-ball-8-01-a.html i think this thread deserves a bump. Please vote 8 ball!!

 

[Richard_G]

Please don't remove it.

High E & B strings on all my guitars shake like crazy & won't settle down. Very annoying!!
The other four strings work perfectly on all guitars.

Don't care one way or the other about the magic ball, I just want the tuner to be totally steady on all strings like all the tuners I've ever owned.

They may not have been as accurate.

I didn't pay attention to the ball until I read in the Wiki how it works. Oh. Okay.

Another vote for being able to switch between regular and 8-ball mode... I personally prefer the standard tuner... but that's just because I've been using it for forever and it's one of the best tracking tuners I have owned period...
