Peterson Strobostomp

 

If you can't find a Peterson, the Korg unit is really nice.

 

I had been using a Boss TU-8 or so until Thursday a week ago when I got a Strobostomp on loan from a good friend. Gigged with it the next day, bought one on Saturday. It´s simply the best you can get without going to the BIG Peterson tuners.

 

The Boss TU-2 is nice too for about half the price. It may not have the Peterson's accuracy, but its certainly accurate enough for stage and studio use. You really only need the precision of the Peterson if you're setting intonation.

 

+1

 

+2!

 

My TU-2 sits on my home pedal board. It will suffice for personal practice, THATS IT. The Strobostomp is the furthest from hype than any subject in this forum, period. The SS is in the top 5 pieces of gear I've ever bought. Sorry, if you think that it's accuracy is only needed for intonation, you've probably never gigged or done sessions with one.

I'm sure that the Stobotomp has really hurt the TU-2 sales. Do not be surprised when boss comes out with the TU-6 Super Tuner (hypothetical) to try to compete with Peterson.

 

Peterson Strobostomp +++++

Reliable and very sweet!

 

Strobostomp with the GTR tempered tuning. I'll never go back to my TU-2. Never!

 

I disagree.

 

The difference between a TU-2 or other tuner and a Strobostomp becomes VERY clear once you have intonated your guitar and then tune up with the Strobostomp.

I have been using the Strobo for a little over a week and changed strings on one of my guitars this past Sunday. While I was at it, I checked intonation and changed it where necessary. After this, all my other guitars sounded out of tune no matter how well I tuned them.

I was very sceptic about the Strobo untill I tried one and then I was sold in 1 day and 1 gig.

 

Thanks for the advice on the strobostomp... I'm going to order one from musiciansfriend today

 

Damn you guys. I pulled the trigger on one today, but the caveat is that I look at the Peterson as an essential. Of course one of the symptoms of GAS is creative rationalization.

 

Never thought I needed one until today. Pulled the trigger too. This place is BAD. Guess I'll give my Boss to my son who never plays in tune anyway.

 

how about a guyatone mt-3?

anybody using one of these?

I am thinking of getting one just to save space on a crowded board.

I ahve the peterson already

 

Wow, I don't recall ever seeing a such a unanimous (sp?) opinion on anything. It's a pretty good endorsement of the strobostomp. I think I'll have to add it to my GAS list.
