Christofer about Tronical

“For quickly getting back in tune on stage when needed, this system is very valuable. But having a lot of different tunings like Therion does (E, Eb, Drop-D on one guitar, C# and C, B on another), this system is a true gem both when the guitar tech has to retune or when I do it my self discrete in the background during an intro or while a singer make some introduction. It’s very reliable and once you get used to it, it’s hard to imagine playing without it.”
