I’m assuming you’re lead guitar right? If you’re rhythm and need to tune during a show you either need new strings or a better guitar. So I’m going to assume you’re lead.

My first piece of advice is to go to your local music store and tell them you want to set up a foot switch board. If you’re playing lead this is a must for live shows.

On stage tuner link:

That will fit very well on your foot board.

If you dont have the money to set up a full stage rig that’s fine you can get more as you go along I would suggest grabbing a volume pedal if you dont already have one, and then adding a few of your choice effects. Foot switch is really the only way to go if you’re on stage and dont have a built in tuner on your guitar.

Hope this helps

Answer by geno b
any rack will do. will u b adding things to the rack..(drawers, power conditioner, effects)? u could get a soft 2 to 4 space rack. these are good for quick and light travel. they make racks that are 5 feet tall. sounds like a small soft rack should do. your local music instrument dealer should have them, as well as guitar center or sam ashe. ebay will have the best deal on used racks. just search it out

Try replacing the battery with one that you know is fresh. If it still flips out, then it is time to get a new one.
