If you don't need a stomp switch then there's a cheapo by Sabine called the STX1100 which I just picked up, and it is simple and steady and accurate enough. |

...4 string,btw | The Peterson StroboStomp is the last tuner you will ever need. The most accurate and fast. Also, the most expensive
Great pedal, great company

I've been doing some searching as well so that I have a tuner to do set-ups as well as just normal tuning. But there is the turbo-tuner, which seems to have equal accuracy to the peterson tuner, but is only $129.99. It's not a stompbox, but it depends on what your needs are.
I do not own this tuner, but I was thinking of picking one up as soon as some cash flows my way.

It's very precise (moreso than the Boss or Planetwaves, not that it's a big deal for live use) and it doesn't jump around much. It's a great little pedal for under 100$. |

Be as in tune as you will ever need to be, and never feel the need to own another tuner. The Peterson gear is a good investment.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2007 Location: Ashley Ohio USA | | | Are we talking Peterson (virtual) strobe tuners? Those are the only ones I've seen by them. I've got one for setups and I love it- it turned art into science when I set intonation. That said, it's not what I'd call a steady, easy to use tuner. Onstage, for a quick check at the beginning of the set I use a $40 Fender chromatic tuner. Easy to see LED's, steady and reliable. Much quicker for me than the strobe would be. In the studio or for setting intonation I'll use the Peterson, but it's not well suited for a quick tune up at a gig. IMO. |

Really, I am just looking to see if any tuning keys have been hit.
