The dawn of the new guitar revolution.
Perfect Tuning. Perfect Intonation. Instantly. With the simple push of a button on the new Peavey® AT-200™, guitar players can now create music in perfect tune and pitch. The Peavey AT-200 features Antares® Auto-Tune® for Guitar with String Tune and the Solid-Tune™ intonation system, two technologies that work together to bring the clarity of perfect pitch to this high-quality instrument.
With the Peavey AT-200, you can even switch into alternate tunings like Drop D, Open G, Baritone and more instantly by adjusting your finger positions when engaging the Auto-Tune for Guitar feature. And no bulky, unattractive hardware weighs down the playing experience - the Peavey AT-200 looks, plays and sounds just like a conventional guitar. Exactly the way it should.
String Tune
With Auto-Tune for Guitar, tuning up your guitar is a breeze. You can tune all six strings instantly with the push of a button (no motors or gears required). Simply strum the strings, trigger String Tuning via a button or foot switch, and your guitar is instantly in tune.
It's really that simple. And with Auto-Tune for Guitar's Virtual Capo function, you can shift pitch both up and down a full octave, so you can play in any key or range. This allows you to play open chords in different keys at their traditional positions down at the bottom of the neck. (Imagine playing 12th fret hammer ons and pull offs in the open position, or switching to baritone guitar, bass, or even sub-bass, with the push of a button.)
Solid-Tune Intonation
It's one thing to tune up your strings, but as anyone who's been playing for awhile knows, the tougher challenge is maintaining perfect intonation as you move up and down the neck and finger complex chords. Luckily, this is where Auto-Tune for Guitar performs some of its most dramatic magic.
Less-than-perfect intonation muddies your guitar's tone. But by using our new Solid-Tune™ Intonation system, an Auto-Tune for Guitar equipped guitar constantly monitors the precise pitch of each individual string and makes any corrections necessary to ensure that every note of every chord and riff is always in tune, regardless of variables like finger position or pressure or physical limitations of the instrument. As a result, listening to a guitar with Solid-Tune is a revelation, offering a purity of tone that has simply never before been possible.
Bending & Vibrato
Auto-Tune for Guitar's Solid-Tune technology is even smart enough to recognize when you want to manipulate the pitch, so you can play bends and vibrato exactly as you always do. In fact, Solid-Tune Intonation makes it even easier to bend to the right pitch every time.
Alternate Tuning
Switching to alternate tunings is simple with the AT-200. Access popular tunings like Drop D, Open G, Baritone and more instantly by adjusting your finger positions according to the user's manual and this video when engaging the Auto-Tune for Guitar feature.
Antares also plans to offer upgrades to the AT-200 for purchase from their web site. From popular tunings like double drop D, open D, open G, and DADGAD to previously-impossible tunings like six-string bass, split bass/guitar (i.e., just the bottom string shifted an octave down), twelve string, and the best polyphonic octaver you've ever heard, Auto-Tune for Guitar can give you access to virtually any tuning you can imagine, along with some you may have never imagined. All without the need to stop and physically retune or swap guitars.

Comments about Peavey AT-200 Auto Tune Electric Guitar:
waited for this and I'm very disappointed, the guitars fine , but from the offset, the tone switch was faulty, the auto tune makes the guitar lack power and crisp crunch sound , in a analog it's fine, alternate timings apart from standard seem not in tune , takes a few attempts to hit say a drop d, I bought this as I get fed up with alternate tuning but , I should have just bought a standard guitar. I recommend it for a beginner
Pros
- Fun To Play
- Good Feel
Cons
- Poor Quality Craftsmanship

Comments about Peavey AT-200 Auto Tune Electric Guitar:
Ordered it and it came DOA! The pickup selector didn't function in one of the slots. The "auto" tuning worked great, except the tone was terrible and distorted. Something must have been wired wrong? The neck felt good, the action was low and the truss rod was adjusted spot on from the factory. I was sad to send it back because I was really looking forward to jamming with our band that weekend with it. I sent it back and decided to cut my losses and buy a regular guitar without all the extra circuitry to go wrong. I'm sure it was a fluke, but it changed my mind on owning one. I'd make sure you have a back up if your planning on playing out with it.
Pros
- Fun To Play
- Good Feel
- Quick Tuning
- Solid Electronics

Comments about Peavey AT-200 Auto Tune Electric Guitar:
I've been jonesing for this guitar since they announced it at the January NAMM show in 2012 and finally got one in November. I love it. It's light and the neck feels right to me. I've found many people who've gotten this guitar have complained about being slightly flat, but I've not had an issue.
Tuning is simple but it does require giving it a solid note to grab onto. You're still dealing with a processor and the old "garbage in, garbage out" axiom applies. I'll start by strumming open strings and tuning, then tune my strings individually at fret one since I play in Db standard and Drop Db. I've tuned it to B standard and even a full octave down in the bass range and it sounds pretty good. I don't recommend making the last one a habit because bassists tend to get a little upset.
The pickups that come with the guitar are a little hotter than other passive pickups (overwound according to the rep I chatted with) and I like 'em. However, with the system engaged, the pickups are bypassed and the piezo kicks in. This creates an obvious level difference. For the music I play (Youtube 'bombay black stand up' for a live example), I'm pretty much "guitar into a Marshall" and the piezo pickup doesn't have the oomph of the passives. I added a Super Overdrive pedal into my signal chain with the output up full and the gain set at 9:00 to increase the level and add some grit which solved the issue quite well.
It's still important to tune the guitar practically for feel. It's not meant for those who don't wanna bother learning the tuning process and you won't get the "T-Pain" effect. It's actually a very useful tool for live shows. I've had in at numerous practice sessions as well as a live show (1 so far, it's the end of the year, y'know?) and it's performed perfectly. Quick tuning changes instead of "Hang on a sec" and trying to read a tuner pedal. This is especially difficult for daytime outdoor sets and the AT200 takes that problem out of the equation. It does one thing and it does it very, very well. The guitar plays well and the system works great. Well worth the money you'll pay for it.
NOTE: I probably won't use it in the studio because there's something about those little variables: strings, fingers, pickups, environment... that add up to a great sound on a record. That being said, never say never.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
