How to set up the EVH D-Tuna | Guitar Tech Tips | Ep. 28 | Thomann

[@VioletSerenade]

My D-Tuna from Thomann arrived today and works like a dream on my EVH Wolfgang Standard! Thanks guys

[@freddylive4181]

cool .. that's exactly what I did on my Standard.

[@rocknstv570]

I just bought a Standard. Does the D-Tuna installation prevent the tremolo from being able to be pulled up? I like using my tremolo both up and down, just curious if the D-Tuna will prevent the pulling up motion.

[@VioletSerenade]

@@rocknstv570 Wolfgangs are not meant to be able to pull up, they’re supposed to be set flush so only dives are enables. If you have it set floating you won’t be able to use the DTuna

Can you fine tune it to D and then push it back in and fine tune back to E or do you need to do it with the machine heads and undo the locking nuts?

[@nickinjersey2]

Just did my 1st string change on my Suhr strat with a Gotah Floyd and d tuner and couldn't get the e to go back. to e. Now I know why. The little Allen key on the side of the push pull is a fine tuner too. Thank you!

[@guyincognito320]

D is always fine but the E is always flat. The grub screw is wonky and doesn't fine tune at all.

[@Vodkypei]

Have an EVH wolfgang special stealth with d-tuna... As soon as I go from D to E all other strings go flat... Even if use only fine tuner to drop or raise the pitch, other strings goes flat/sharp. I have a lot of frustration with it, it is easier to retune all strings. So, d-tuna kinda work, for listener, but not for experienced player... Or if your don't care/can't hear it.

[@MisterSwagify]

I mean that's just how string tension works. When adding tension to one string, the neck bends in slightly making the rest go flat. A good trick would be to tune slightly sharp in Standard or slightly flat in drop D and then you're out less on either end.

[@silentstormstudios]

I think the part you may have missed is that you need to block the bridge so that it's either fully blocked or so that you can push bar down but you can't pull up on it. If you leave the bridge free floating, any change in string tension, such using the d-tuna, will cause the other strings to go out of tune.

I was going to install this with a tremol no so I can set my trem to float or dive only I had the misconception that you tune the guitar to standard tuning and use the d tuner to change to drop d but I found out that you tune to drop tuning then use the d tune to switch to standard tuning so I figured if you set the Floyd to float in drop d you would be able to pull up but when you engage the d tuner you would have to be in dive only mode I might just get it and do some experimenting to find out for my self and post my results I might also make a video I also saw you can leave it floating with a trem stabilizer so I’m thinking about experimenting with having a trem stabilizer, tremol no and d tuner installed at the same time to get full function of my Floyd while it’s floating andbeing able to use the d tuner to quickly switch between standard to drop d I can contact you once I made my findings

How about the D, B and high E strings staying in tune tune when switching between E and drop D ?

[@sbrave]

@@Ryan-hi1hl I bought and got rid of this thing after a few weeks. Just didn't work with my Charvel Model 4 and orig Floyd. Way too much fine tuning to do when using the bar, and I had the trem blocked as much as it could be, and even with that, it wasn't a good experience. I'm back to full floating and loving it!

[@sbrave]

I'm finding I have to turn the side fine tuner screw in so far when in the D tuna is pushed in to E tuning position, it makes it really hard to push and pull the D tuna in and out. No matter how I tune to drop D, when I push the D tuna in for E tuning, it's at least a 1/4 step down and then I have to adjust the fine tuner quite a bit, which makes it hard to move the D tuna. Doesn't seem like there's anything else to adjust when you tune to drop D initially, as the instructions say. I've even tried to have the Floyd fine tuner pressing down on the screw just a little.

@@NickATFGuitarMan Update: I put a better block on my Floyd, and that problem seems to have gone away!

What happens then if you need to raise the entire bridge in order to raise the action? Do you need to tighten the springs to have it sitting at an angle against the body of the guitar?

[@alexhiggin]

I had that issue on my wolfgang standard and honestly the best way about it then is just to use a tremolo stopper to make it dive-only. The D-Tuna might not work with the bridge at a downward angle.

[@TomSarracino]

Seems to me the FR should float above the body a bit inline with the strings and be able to pull up on the bar some. The bridge pulled back hard by the springs and against the body seriously sucks.

Oh manno, ich hab bei Thomann jetzt zwei Systeme bestellt + einen Blocker: Guitar-Guard Hardtailer Trem Block System - Tone Vise Pitch Shifter for Floyd Rose - Evh D-Tuna Drop D Red. Der Blocker funktioniert soweit, ist dann sicherlich in Zukunft immer nen Krimi, vor einem Gig das so genau anzugleichen, dass Floating und Aufleger in der gleichen Stellung sind. Der Tone Vise Pitch Shifter hat mir bei der Installation fast das Gegenfeder-Blech abgerissen, Schraube zu kurz - nicht einsetzbar - Produkt nicht kompatibel, obwohl ich ein Schaller Lockmeister habe, also original-Floyd Rose Maße. Beim D-Tuna werden schonmal zwei Längen Imbus-Schrauben für hinten ausgeliefert - da die Produkte das gleiche kosten, definitiv Vorteil EVH. Ich bekomme aber leider keine 2 Halbtöne beim "rein-raus" ... für nen Halbton würde das D-Tuna vielleicht fast funnzen, aber ich hab das Problem sogar an ner EVH Wolfgang beim Antesten im Laden erlebt: Wenn man die Justierschraube weiter reindreht, kannste den Stöpsel nurnoch mit Gewalt rein und rausziehen. Ich bin frustiert. Kann mir jemadn sagen, wo mein Fehler ist?

[@devrimeldelekli2227]

Thanks for this! I have the problem that even after following the instructions exactly, my "E" ends up way too sharp, with the drop "D" being in tune, the fine tuner on the bridge all the way up, and the fine tuner on the D-Tuna also all the way up and away from the screw. I can make the switch work only by adjusting the tuner on the bridge a little. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

I have a d-tuna on my N4. I just blocked the bridge so that it can dive only, but can't pull up. This is required for the d-tuna anyway, as the guitar will always go out of tune using the d-tuna if the bridge is free floating. The d-tuna sits around a quarter inch or so above the guitar body.

The problem with the D tuna is it DOESN'T WORK, with most floyde rose set ups. It was built for the Wolfgang guitar or a Kramer like Ed's.

A more inclusive design would be like a hipshot on a bass where there's locking machine heads that release a full step when triggered.

If you use some tool to keep your Floyd from going up you can still use the D-Tuna. Something like a Tremol-no. You can also find "Tremolo Stop Locks" on ebay that can turn your guitar to dive only. Once those are fitted and adjusted you can lock your tremolo to only go down, as if it was resting on the body. That way you can use a D-Tuna no problem.

[@nvlddmkm1282]

The inherent floating trem design, makes it so this will never stay in tune in either standard or drop - because like was mentioned, it affects the string tension which raises/lowers the tension in the other strings each time you flip it. The only way to keep it in tune is to trem lock (which kinda defeats the purpose). These things are more trouble than they're worth imo.

….and what do you do in normal use when the E goes out of tune? Do you have to get the Allen key out or use the fine tune on the Floyd Rose?

[@nvlddmkm1282]

@@chrisstevens4680 You have to use the Allen key because you're not supposed to have the fine tuner in use with this thing - it's not practical and when you go to standard it will never be in tune. The people that rave about how great it is either aren't actually using it in standard, are out of tune and don't realize it, or have a trem lock - because a floating bridge can't stay tuned in both tunings at the same level of tension, it's physically impossible. Tightening a string a full step, pulls more tension on the springs, which loosen tension in all other strings. If you're tuned in drop D, it won't be in tune in standard, and if you tune it to standard, it won't be in tune in drop D (only the low E string can stay in tune in both tunings). It's a gimmick, not really worth it.

So it’s pointless? The advantage of a Floyd is that it’s floating but with this it has to be pulled against the body all the time. so it’s dive only so you might as well have a regular trem.

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Well, just partially. You still have the benefits of using a Floyd if it sits on the body. You have the sound and the tuning stability compared to a vintage tremolo. And one huge plus: if you break a string with a Floyd like that, the other strings don't go totally out of tune so you can finish up the song. That actually saved a number of gigs in my life. haha //cheers, Kris

NGL this was one of the most unpleasant Distortion sounds I ever heard xD

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

You have to complain at Yamaha then. haha! I mean it's the THR which is a practicing amp and we recorded the line out sound (not mic'd sound). For that, it's actually pretty good imo. //cheers, Kris

I've heard way worse. It has clarity due to the highs but yeah you could get a better sound out of whatever unit they used (you almost always can).

[@aurora3655]

That sounds like a nightmare.

[@Charlie6969]

Why do people still say "tremolo" when they mean "Vibrato"? I just don't get it..
