"even your tone knob can change your intonation"

[Lerxst]

I overheard that gem today when I was picking out a pack of strings at the near by GC. A customer walked up to the guitar tech booth and asked the tech about setting the intonation on his guitar. I wasn't paying attention until that line grabbed my attention.

Apparently his point was that his professional grade $300+ tuner is unaffected by changes in the tone knob position, unlike your consumer grade tuner....so if you're setting your intonation with out a hyper accurate tuner, your tone knob can change your intonation......

It disrupts the crystal lettuce on it's way to the output jack.

Fuck that guy.

I use the pitchlab app on my tablet.

That way, there is no effect from the electronics.

Fuck that guy.

It's guitar center....I pretty much expect an experience like that every time I walk through the door

Fuck guitar center in it's stupid meathead face.

I've replaced all the tone knobs on my guitars with flux capacitors...

I'd have said something and then said something to the manager. I don't want my students hearing shit like that

So what happens when my tone caps are orange drops, oil, ceramic or paper?

Will that affect the intonation

Blarg.

The tone knob setting can make it harder or easier for a tuner to get a "fix," maybe that is what he was clumsily trying to get at. That sure isn't the same as changing the intonation though.

It would have been really funny if it turned out the customer's tuner was a clip-on...

I don't have tone controls. I have treble controls. Me and Howie.
