Advise me a Buzz Feiten capable tuner!

[NickInMesa]

OK, here are a few candidates. Note that I am on a budget and am actually looking to buy one used (eBay, CL, TB):

• Planet Waves Tru-Strobe
• Peterson StroboScope (very attractive as it has a DI and is a pedal)
• Peterson StroboFlip (I like the fact that it can stay on a stand and works with a remote)

Any other suggestion?

Thanks!

Much cheaper & much better than the Petersen models.

The Turbo Tuner doesn't have the Feiten tunings built in, but you can program then in yourself.

+10000. Remember, the Buzz Feiten tuning comes into play mostly when setting intonation, not when tuning on the gig. Therefore, having a tuner with the Feiten offsets that is not true strobe accurate is kind of a waste of time.

The Turbo Tuner is the thing... and is just as 'gig friendly' (i.e., almost freaky fast tracking, even of the open B string, and a stage friendly readout) as it is on the set-up bench.

There are two models that are the same price.. one designed as a 'true bypass' stomp box for the floor in between your bass and amp, and the other a 'set on top of the amp' model designed to be fed by the amp's tuner out (that model also has a mic for acoustic tuning.

IMO!

It's also made in the US!

and the footpedal one is true bypass!

the petersons will do the job just fine.

the planet waves thing is like a turbo with down's syndrome, stay away.
