RATIO® patented gear technology
RATIO® - Calibrated Machine Heads incorporate different string gauges into the tuning equation.

From Low E to G - 48:1, 36:1, 25:1, and 23:1.

We balanced the gear ratios to each string simplifying the tuning process.

With RATIO®, a half-turn is a semi-tone!

Every string reacts the same to any tuning adjustment. Predictable, precise tuning, on every string. 

 

Bass Ratio animation

The PRB-4401 is a right-handed set of RATIO® Calibrated Machine Heads for BASS that use a 4-in-line configuration.

 

In order to achieve higher gear ratios, Ratio are the world's first machine heads using a double envelope gear design with a hardened steel gear. Amazingly smooth and super strong.

    Best tuners ever

    These are the best tuners I've ever used. The ratio concept is brilliant! The ONLY thing that would make these better is if they were auto-locking instead of manual screw-down. Otherwise, they're perfect! Unless you're committed to vintage spec on a vintage instrument, you should get these tuners!!!

    Glad I chose these first!

    These are just amazing tuners. The gear ratios are damn near the best thing since sliced bread. Seriously. I'll eventually be outfitting all of my guitars with these for sure! ⭐x1000
