Roadie 4 delivers a smoother, faster, and more reliable tuning experience. With revamped algorithms and upgraded audio circuitry, it offers excellent noise immunity and pinpoint tuning accuracy, whether you’re tuning on stage, in a noise rehearsal room, or at home.

Key New Features Include:

Completely reengineered algorithms and audio circuitry for superior tuning accuracy better performance in noisy environments.

Larger 1.9” full color LCD screen with over twice the display area for greater visibility when tuning.

New intuitive scroll wheel for lightning fast selection and navigation.

Auto detect feature: In previous models, Roadie turned your instrument in a fixed sequence lowest to highest string or required manual string selection. Now, just pluck any string. Roadie 4 will automatically detect when string you are on, tune it precisely, and notify you when it is in tune with a vibration and audible beep.

Redesigned peg connector to accommodate a wide range of larger and smaller pegs.

Improved ergonomics: Taller build, anti slip backing, and a more natural, secure grip.

From electric to acoustic guitars to mandolins, ukuleles, banjos, and more, Roadie 4 tune almost any instrument with geared pegs. It also winds new strings quickly and accurately, making string changes a breeze.
