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

From Low E to G - 36:1, 30:1, 20:1, 18:1.

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.

    The best tuners

    I had my Schecter Omen Elite 7 string for a while. But the tuners were some of the worst I’ve ever had. Hardly ever in tune, really picky and sticky when tuning. Decided to take a shot on these as an upgrade. They are excellent. The multiple ratios really helps with the large gauge strings, and they came in a 3L 4R set which was perfect. Along with the mounting plates they were a super easy install. Couldn’t recommend more. The only downside is that I had to order black mounting plates. So now I’ve got extra plates sitting around, but it’s hardly a big problem.

    Color me impressed...

    After one of the posts on the stock tuners snapped on my Ibanez BTB806MS, I decided to give these a try. A bit pricey, but I was curious enough about them. I never really gave tuners a second thought besides weight, but after installing these and QUICKLY tuned up the strings, I don't know why I haven't tried these sooner. Holds tune, the smoothness of the turns is sublime...why am I gushing over something as mundane as tuner? Worth. Every. Penny.
