tuners arrived and i've just checked it out.
as i suspected, all the modes are just as accurate as each other, no advantage to any of them exactly. anyway, its made of metal, has true bypass and has alot greater resolution than my existing tuner.
having all those modes is definately a slight gimmick. 90% of the time it will stay on the conventional meter mode. i might occasionally switch to the stroboscope view which is quite usable too.
so yeah - great product i'd say! its a fine tuner
edit: also it looks like a cross between a stealth bomber and 'the thing' from terry pratchett's nome books.
