BDR-1000 Tuner

Every great take starts in tune. Plenty of bad ones start with “close enough”.

The BDR-1000 brings the classic studio rack tuner into your session, but it does more than tell you whether you’re sharp or flat. Its adaptive tuning helps you get it right, without fighting the meter.

It gives a stable, reliable reading even on the trickiest low notes of a heavily down-tuned guitar or five-string bass. On top of that, the RESPONSE slider lets you tailor the overall feel: RELAXED for a steadier reading, FAST to follow every movement.

With a bright LED display, precision strobe mode and plugin or standalone operation, it’s built for serious studio work. Without making tuning complicated.

Dead center, at a glance

The blue meter locks to the middle when you're in tune. No squinting, no guessing.

Smarter tuning. Less guesswork.

The pitch wavers, the meter jumps around, and you keep adjusting back and forth. Sound familiar?

The BDR-1000 adapts to each note. Lower strings get a calmer meter, and the in-tune light holds instead of flickering with every natural wobble of the string. Higher notes stay quick and responsive. A confirmation blink tells you when you’re there, so you know when to stop adjusting.

It won’t turn the pegs for you, but it’ll make every turn count.

Go strobe

Setting intonation or chasing those last few cents? Hit STROBE. The LEDs scroll to show sharp or flat and stop when you’re right on pitch, making fine adjustments easy to follow.

Tune from anywhere

Use INT to tune the track the tuner is on, or switch to External SC and feed it any instrument in your session through the side chain.

Hit MUTE and tune without blasting the room or the control room monitors.

Standard 440 Hz or your own reference. Click and set.

Tune. Mute off. Record.

The IRDX^® Difference

Like tape saturation, the IRDX effect may seem subtle at first. But when comparing engaged versus bypassed, here’s what you’ll notice:

DISABLED: Each note and chord sounds similar, and the guitar part seems two-dimensional and lifeless.

ENABLED: Your sound takes on a third dimension and reacts realistically, as if you were playing through a real speaker cab.

Capture your ideas

Using IRDX Studio as your standalone cab, capture any idea on the fly without loading up a DAW.

True Transparency

Not all IR loaders are equal. Some will trim your IRs, add EQ by default, or even resample your high-resolution IRs to a lower quality!

IRDX Studio is truly transparent, allowing you to hear your IRs exactly as they were meant to be heard.
