Sonic Research Turbo Tuner new ST 300 model

[MontzterMash]

Was looking for a turbo tuner pedal and after noticing everyone is sold out I emailed the company.

I pretty much immediately got the very helpful reply:

We have stopped producing the ST-200 and are replacing it with two new models:

First, we have a mini version of the tuner called the ST-300 mini. We expect to start shipping this in early July. We will follow that with the ST-300 which will be the same size as the ST-200.

Our ST-300 line of tuners have the following improvements over the ST-200:

1. While the ST-200 is know for its ultra-fast automatic note selection, the ST-300 is even faster.

2. Brighter display. We use new ultra bright LEDs in the display, and it is clearly visible in direct sunlight.

3. Relay switching instead of the 3PDT switch.

4. USB port for easier programming of custom tunings.
I've added your name to our info list. We'll be sending out pre-order information soon.
Thank you for your interest in our tuners. If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call.
​

Did a search, didn't see any other mentions, so figured someone may be curious.

Cheers

Definitely curious - the turbo tuner is the best tuner I've ever owned.

Cool news, though I've always really hoped that their next development would be a polyphonic tuner. That accuracy plus the reference pitch flexibility plus polyphonic tuning would be impossible to beat

 

[David Wilson]

cool news on the mini, especially if it's polytune sized.

cool news on the mini, especially if it's polytune sized.

If it's nano-sized, I'm definitely interested. I love my TT but currently use a PT mini only because it's smaller.

No need for the brighter LEDs though.

I've had issues with the display in direct sunlight, but it's such a rare occurrence that I'm not bothered by it. The faster note detection is great, although the ST-200 is already lightning fast, so once again it's not something I'm bothered by. The relay based switching is something that I appreciate. In the last year I added a couple of relay based pedals to my board, and thus far it's my favorite type of switch/bypass. I've read pros and cons, but for me it's all been in the pros column.

Looks like something to look out for. Thanks for the update.

Thank you for posting this. I had a wishlist for Sonic Research and sounds like they got it all!

Best tuner on the marked. A mini would be nice.

+1 If it was polyphonic I'd be all over it. Guess my HT-6 isn't going anywhere...

Mini!!! That would be interesting.

I have to tag @jasonmitsch here, I have to.

 

[Feral Feline]

Dagnabbit! Wish Sonic Research had come out with this a little earlier. I just got a TT this past November.

Colour me interested anyway...

ALL THE TUNERS!

oh and for the record, I'm over the 'tuner threads don't go in effects'... why fight a losing battle.

You see a tuner, I see a stutter box

Yeah, I'm probably going to have to get one of those.

Yup.

 

[FretNoMore]

What with all the modulation pedals I've bought lately the sound from my pedal board is so wobbly a tuner is meaningless.

(The ST300 mini looks nice though)

 

[bassmusic17]

Yeah that's the tuner. Me wants.
