Thinking about picking up a Peterson Stroboflip, not just for gigs but also for setup work as well, anyone own one, that can weigh in on this? If this is not the right area for this, please move it.
Thanks |

It was a little confusing at first because I'd never used a strobe tuner before, but it's really easy to adapt to and it's all I ever us anymore (stupid cheap tuners kept breaking on me). Overall, it's a great tuner; I say go for it! |

| | | People who can afford Alembics must have a Peterson tuner! 
Seriously, these are the holy land of tuning  |

But I am curious, do you guys find the functionality to be a bit excessive if you're only using it for guitar and bass? I was thinking about picking one up and decided against it because it seemed like i would be overpaying since I didn't need to intonate a viola. Or do you use it for a bunch of different stuff?

Gould and did the setup using the Strobflip, worked great. It is small enough to fit in whatever instrument case I put it in. Accurate tuning, industry standard. |

It makes it really easy to get my basses absolutely 100% dead-on. If their pedals are of similar quality, you'll never go back to an LED or other similar "toy" tuner again.

| Definately has too many features but these are great when your guitard wants to borrow it and you can make him look stupid. |

I dumped my StroboStomp for the Turbo and would never go back. The Turbo is more accurate, responds faster on the lowest frequencies, it's smaller, and it costs less! The non-stomp version also has many of the same alternate-tuning features of the StroboFlip. |

The Turbo seems like a good tuner, but I much prefer the display on the Stroboflip...

Can't pass this thread up without putting in a good word for the Sonic Research Turbo Tuner!
Accuracy beyond all others on the market today.
I grew up using Peterson in the local school band, but the Turbo is just easier, AND more accurate for setup work.
