The average person throws away about 30 to 50 batteries annually, that’s a lot of batteries that end in our landfills and oceans.
A few short years ago, Fender came up with a very clever and innovative solution to this problem – the GT-1000 Green Tuner.
The Fender GT-1000 Green Tuner delivers the performance of a highly accurate, easy to use digital tuner without ever requiring a battery! Simply unfold the crank handle and turn it to generate current that is immediately stored within it’s built-in super-capacitor.
The energy you generated then powers the highly efficient digital circuitry allowing you to tune your instrument with ease.
To get started, make sure that the TUNER/FLASHLIGHT switch is in the TUNER position, release the crank handle and turn it in a clockwise direction for about 20 seconds at roughly 2 revolutions per second. As you continue to turn the crank handle, you will see the CHARGE LED getting brighter as the super-capacitor is charged.
NOTE! To avoid overcharging and possible damage to the supercapacitors, do not turn the crank handle for more than 30 seconds.
The Green Tuner features a built-in microphone for tuning acoustic instruments along with a 6.35mm (1/4″) input for electric instruments.
This highly accurate tuner displays the chromatic pitch as well as indicating whether the pitch is sharp or flat.
The Fender GT-1000 Green Tuner allows you to tune almost any musical instrument, easily and accurately.
Dark stages can be tricky to navigate, not so with the Green Tuner, it even has a built-in torch!
Unfortunately, as innovative as the Fender GT-1000 Green Tuner is, its high cost of production meant that it was discontinued.
