And that’s great – you might be thinking that at this point, there might be a “but” in there… Yes, there is…Īs James Taylor puts it, because of how guitars are constructed, and how the strings vibrate, the actual sound that they produce when plucked is not actually in tune if you tune the strings to their exact tuning. The StroboClip is super-accurate at 0.1 cent, which is pretty incredible. So tuner manufacturers have strived to get as accurate as possible, getting into the tenths of a cent (or even the hundredths of a cent). So it stands to reason that the more accurate your tuning, the better you’ll sound. An accurately tuned guitar can make the difference between sounding just okay and sounding incredible. And with this updated, upgraded version, I’m a very happy camper!īelieve me, not all tuners are made the same. It did the job okay, but there was always something special about the sound of a guitar tuned with my StroboClip. Tone Bone Rating: 5.00 ~ After my original StroboClip got stolen last year, I went with a cheap Snark tuner. Comparatively larger, HD, backlit LCD readout.50+ Sweeteners for different kinds of instruments – thank goodness the guitar ones are first.But it’s really the Sweeteners that have always sealed the deal for me.Ĭons: None for me as I used the original for a long time (until some a-hole stole it at a gig), but using a strobe tuner will take a newbie a bit of time to get used to. This thing just works and it’s accurate – very accurate. Pros: I said pretty much everything in the summary. But add to that a larger, high-definition, and a high-contrast screen, then throw in a high degree of accuracy, then add Peterson’s unrivaled “Sweeteners,” what’s not to like? Summary: Peterson is the pioneer in strobe tuning and this new version of the highly-acclaimed StroboClip is a huge improvement over the original StroboClip which, in my opinion, just couldn’t be beaten. Peterson StroboClip HD TM High Definition Clip-On Strobe Tuner just realized how long this post is haha :pĮdit: yikes.

And yes it is $130, an advantage over the SS.Įdit: yikes. is the only other site that has it for some reason. Most likely because they only sell it through their website. Looks like it's TB and the cost is about $129ish? Otherwise, I was checking around just now, and it seems like it would have been a great contender. The TT didn't show up in that review, and frankly, I never bumped into it in any of the sales venues I checked. Of course that's where the discussion stopped :rolleyes: Would have liked to hear peoples comments on what that guy said. This might just be because of a lot of fanboys, but I had my mind set on the TT until the very last post.lots of good info there. Turbo tuner was hailed as far superior, with pitchblack in second, and strobo last. This was only 1 of many similar threads on this subject. I found a thread that had a long discussion on the topic.

So I was figuring the TT would be the best middle ground. Even though I know this thing tunes great. Only downside is me being picky about wanting the 'perfect' intonation from a strobo. I like the 'interface' the best on this one compared to the other 2 personally. Pitchblack: What I would choose for easiest stage use.

Turbo Tuner ST-200: +/- 0.02 cents (more accurate, but also harder to lock in on the correct tuning), true bypass, fastest pitch recognition hands down (but is that even needed? Don't see a huge use for it). Seen a couple complaints about popping noises when turning on the footswitch, especially with distortion on. Peterson Strobostomp: +/- 0.1 cent accuracy, most expensive, best 'in tune' sound when done according to opinions, not true bypass, has been the industry standard for decades in studios. The Turbo can have those settings too but you have to program it yourself, I think it comes with 3 out of the box. Lots of different tempered settings to get a better sounding 'in tune' guitar. I don't need TB if I'm just tuning at home, but it would come into play on stage.įrom what I read, the Peterson is more accurate for intonation and things like that. That means easy to read on stage, true bypass, ect. I want an extremely accurate tuner (for intonation setups at home and more 'tech work' type of stuff) and also a practical one for stage use. The issue I have is I'm looking for the best of both worlds in a way. Yep I ran into that same page and read it over.
