5/6/2023 0 Comments Peterson strobe tuner vintage![]() 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. An on-board, independent active DI, and footswitch-selectable channel outputs and presets make the StroboRack the logical choice for professional live & studio use.Peterson StroboClip HD TM High Definition Clip-On Strobe Tuner The optional StroboRack expansion module allows users to add balanced, stereo and mono input/output jacks to an existing StroboRack, enabling use with stereo, hybrid and balanced instrument signals.

Along with the popular GTR & BAS presets, the StroboRack features unique presets for acoustic guitar, DADGAD, 12-string guitar, baritone guitar, E9th, C6th & Universal steel guitar, Dobro and resonator guitar, and electric violin, as well as tuning and intonation offsets for Buzz Feiten Tuning System equipped guitars. The StroboRack's tuning library contains a whopping 34 tempered and exclusive Peterson Sweetened tunings (see side bar). It is this superior precision that also allows user-programmed tunings with up to 1/10th cent resolution settings to be achieved. Only this method provides the high level of resolution in a Peterson strobe tuner that allows unprecedented accuracy in tuning to "standard" pitches and permits one to utilize the subtler shades of altered temperaments and Sweeteners found as presets in these tuners. Your eye simply interprets the motion of the pattern as an indication of tuning error relative to the target pitch. With Peterson's 1/10-cent accuracy - up to 30 times better than the accuracy of needle/LED tuners - the StroboRack is the most accurate rack tuner on the market today!Īn important advantage of Virtual Strobe Technology is that no "in tune/out of tune" decision is ever made electronically-a process inherently subject to inaccuracy. The VS-R StroboRack features Peterson's now legendary Virtual Strobe tuning technology.
