Sonic Research Turbo Tuner

[JohnDavisNYC]

i need a tuner...

I usually just use the one built into my brain, but when I finally re-build my board for real, I am gonna need a good tuner on there...

in people's experience, are these strobe pedal tuners as fast for tuning in a live situation, or do you feel that it is better to have something like the pitchblack on stage for quick tuning checks and keep a strobe tuner backstage for pre-show tuning (or a tech, if you are so lucky...)

the price is certainly right for a strobe tuner...

Thats was my main gripe with the Peterson when I tried a friends out. I sat there tuning and tuning to get it the last bit perfect whilst very little was audibley different to me. Granted if you owned one I gaurentee you would become more familiar. Just seems so slow to a first time user.

I have to admit I rarely get the wheels to stop moving on my Peterson though getting to a happy place with it doesn't take to long, certainly no longer than another tuner

I have the non-pedal version and like it a lot - allows much faster and more precise tuning than the old LED Matrix I used to have.

My guitar player used mine yesterday and hated it. He asked if he could use it, I explained how it worked and he said it was too confusing.

Same here - actually, I see it as another plus point..

Both of these are not true for the pedal version I have...
-No brighter/dimmer
-Sometimes up to 3 segments of leds. Sometimes they rotate in opposite directions (as a strobe does)

Interesting! I haven't used the pedal version yet, only the handheld. On mine there may be two or three separate groups of LEDs lit, but they do not overlap each other or go in opposite directions from each other at the same time.
