A DIY Tuner Pedal Kit that Doesn't Compromise
The kits include all components needed to build a Q-Tune tuner pedal. Purchases are paid up-front.
Q-Tune Chromatic Instrument Tuner is the first of its kind in the DIY pedal world — a high-precision tuner with a full 2.8" LCD, offered as a solder-it-yourself kit in a rugged stompbox enclosure.
At its core, Q-Tune uses an advanced pitch detection algorithm to lock onto your note with incredible speed and stability. The dynamic display gives you real-time visual feedback in a way that's clear, responsive, and easy to read on dark stages or bright practice rooms.
Build it yourself. Gig with confidence. Pro-level precision with DIY-level satisfaction.
Why Q-Tune Is Different
Ultra-Accurate Tuning Engine
Tracks pitch with high precision.
Big, Bright 2.8" LCD Display
Visible in the dark, crisp on stage, easy on the eyes.
Touch & Tune
Navigate settings effortlessly with a responsive touchscreen—no extra buttons, no hassle.
Buffered Bypass Option
Clean, transparent signal when engaged or bypassed. Especially handy at the beginning of your pedalboard chain or when driving a long cable to your amp. Or, use the tuner in true bypass, your choice!
Multiple Tuning Display Styles
Choose between several visual layouts — meter, strobe-inspired, needle, orbital, big letter display, and more. All styles support full-range chromatic tuning.
Monitoring Mode
Watch pitch in real-time while playing — ideal for intonation and practice (using buffered bypass).
Top-Mounted Jacks
Both audio and DC jacks are located on the top edge—saving precious pedalboard space and keeping your rig tidy.
MicroSD Card Support
Load custom standby images, animated visualizers, and set lists from a microSD card. Make your tuner truly yours.
Standby Screens & Visualizers
Pick from built-in standby screens including a plasma feedback visualizer and spectrum analyzer — or load your own custom images via SD card.
Set List Display
Load a plain-text set list onto the SD card and scroll through your songs on stage — right on the tuner screen.
USB-C Firmware Upgrades
Future-proof your build — update firmware with new features or improvements via USB-C using the web installer.
Real DIY Experience
No code to write, no guesswork — pro-quality parts and PCB, ready to solder.
Two Footprint Options
Choose the classic 125B or tight-packed 1590B size (select at checkout).
First of Its Kind
Q-Tune is the first DIY pedal kit to offer a full-color display, studio-grade accuracy, and a rugged enclosure — all as a legit built-it-yourself project.
