Thats because its a cross between a tuner and the starship $%&#ing enterprise.

Yeah, I wonder how thin lizzy managed without one ;)

That, however hunter, is the ONLY thing I've ever seen that compels me in the least to get an iphone!

Post by: hunter on May 12, 2009, 11:50:49 PM: And the price is not bad at 7.99$

Post by: MDV on May 12, 2009, 11:52:38 PM: For an iphone? I find that hard to believe

for setting up a trans-trem, i suggest a stomp box tuner ;) but this is one way to get quickly used to a strobe tuner

Title: Re: Peterson Strobstomp tuner
Post by: Pete24v on May 13, 2009, 01:09:12 PM: i'm very happy with mine, good for intonating too.
Title: Re: Peterson Strobstomp tuner
Post by: sjwebb90 on May 13, 2009, 08:30:40 PM: I have Peterson Strobstomp 2 and once you get used to its obviously great for tuning, but particularly good for doing the intonation. My guitars definitely benefited and sound better.

Post by: FELINEGUITARS on May 13, 2009, 10:56:42 PM: I have the Peterson stroborack and it's good (if a bit twitchy)

the turbo tuner is good as well
I still like my boss pedal one for tuning up to play

Post by: Dmoney on May 14, 2009, 04:14:10 AM: i have a turbo tuner.
i prefer it to the TU-2.
its fast and accurate and easy to use and more compact than a strobostomp and its built like a tank.

Post by: Lew on May 15, 2009, 11:39:33 PM: After all my praising of the turbo tuner the fkin thing died tonight, smoke came out of the jacks and I could smell burning plastic! Doh! :?

Post by: Lew on May 16, 2009, 05:52:49 PM: wow a few hours after sending them an email I got a reply. They are sending me a brand new replacement unit and are paying for the shipping, I'll be sending my old one to them so they can see what went wrong and they are covering the shipping cost of that too!

Amazing customer service!

Post by: DavidRees on June 03, 2009, 09:33:25 PM: took the plunge today and bought a Strobostomp 2 - just what I wanted to get the Buzz Feiten tuning system working right on my MSG. Thank you again for all your contributions.
