A Solution Deemed Impossible The idea for Gibson’s revolutionary Robot Guitar auto-tuning system came to Chris Adams in a fit of frustra-tion. Aggravated that he couldn’t keep his guitar in tune, Chris turned to the Internet to see if there were any automatic tuning systems on the market. Dissa-tisfied with what he found, he imagined a system that would automatically tune a guitar in no-time-flat. That got him thinking about other possibili-ties too: a system that could switch effortlessly between multiple tunings, keep a guitar perfect-ly intonated, and even change strings for you.
Skill & Perseverance Pays Off
The fact that Adams did not have an engineering degree didn’t deter him. Over a period of 10 years,
the professional guitar tech perfected a lightweight and foolproof system that tunes a guitar precisely and automatically in only a few seconds. “I wanted to create something that would respect the tonal concept of the instrument without changing it, but there was so much
new technology that had to be developed to make it what it is today,” Adams explains. In 2005, Adams opened his Hamburg, Germany-based company Tronical, and be-
gan getting the word out about his invention.
Early Adopters
It didn’t take long. Built-in to certain models of Gibson guitars, Uli Jon Roth, Steve Vai, Billy Corgan, and other nota-bles already use the system and all sing its praises on stages
worldwide. “I haven’t met anybody who doesn’t love it,” Adams says. “This is a dream for guitar players. They don’t have to think
about tuning anymore. Many artists have told me that having this makes them so relaxed because they know that, no matter
what, they will be in tune. If you are more relaxed, you have a bet-ter performance. You can be more creative.” New Tronical owners
include such artists as Eric Clapton, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Annihilator‘s Jeff Waters, Jeff Pevar, Walk off The Earth, 3 Doors Down , Bibi Mc-
Gill with Beyonce, RIchard Fortus with Guns N Roses, and more.
