NSTPD (strobe tuner pedal day)

[richardjmorgan]

All opinions welcome so thanks Richard. I like the idea of being able to check tuning across all strings. I wondered if, in practice, it worked well and from what you say, it does. Thanks.

No worries! I'll report back once I've got to grips with it a bit better.

That pedal looks great! From your own personal experience, how do strobe tuners compare to the linear style tuners (like the boss you have)? Are strobe tuners more accurate? I've always been under the impression that they are some of the most precise, if not most precise, tuners (especially the Petersons)

Nice collection of tuners, the first one looks ace!

I've had a Peterson Strobo which was a great tuner, I found it very accurate and quick to use but I got rid of it due to the bigger footprint (although it wasn't massive I wanted a more compact pedal) and the noisy switch which used to pop every time I switched it on and off. I also have a Peterson VSII which I use at home... awesome desk top tuner for setting your guitars up. I have since gotten a Polytune and a Sonic Research Turbo Tuner and they are both great pedals. The Polytune tracks fast enough, has a few different modes including a strobe type display that works great. The Poly mode works well enough with fixed bridge guitars but not with my trem bridges. It also has a power out to feed other pedals. The TT has a really bright display which is good for all lighting conditions and tracks faster than the Polytune but not that much that it would affect tuning in a gig situation, with the true strobe it is good for set ups up too. It doesn't have a power out. Both great compact tuners for sure and now the Poly mini is out there's plenty of great tuners to chose from.
