Tuner, EQ & Noise Gate: Must-Have Utility Pedals
Tuner Pedal
Pros: hands free muting, ultra precise tuning (e.g., Polytune 3)
EQ Pedal
Use it to compensate for room acoustics or boost mids for solos, insert at the end of your chain for final tone polish.
Noise Gate
Place before your drive chain to clamp hiss and feedback in high gain rigs.
Why They Matter
Without a solid tuner, your notes wander; without an EQ, your tone may lack clarity; without a noise gate, unwanted hum intrudes. These low profile workhorses form the backbone of any gig-ready rig, ensuring your playing always sounds polished and professional.
