Planet waves tru strobe tuner3/15/2023 Only downside is me being picky about wanting the "perfect" intonation from a strobo. I like the "interface" the best on this one compared to the other 2 personally. Pitchblack: What I would choose for easiest stage use. Turbo Tuner ST-200: +/- 0.02 cents (more accurate, but also harder to lock in on the correct tuning), true bypass, fastest pitch recognition hands down (but is that even needed? Don't see a huge use for it). ![]() Seen a couple complaints about popping noises when turning on the footswitch, especially with distortion on. Peterson Strobostomp: +/- 0.1 cent accuracy, most expensive, best "in tune" sound when done according to opinions, not true bypass, has been the industry standard for decades in studios. The Turbo can have those settings too but you have to program it yourself, I think it comes with 3 out of the box. Lots of different tempered settings to get a better sounding "in tune" guitar. I don't need TB if I'm just tuning at home, but it would come into play on stage.įrom what I read, the Peterson is more accurate for intonation and things like that. That means easy to read on stage, true bypass, ect. I want an extremely accurate tuner (for intonation setups at home and more "tech work" type of stuff) and also a practical one for stage use. The issue I have is I'm looking for the best of both worlds in a way. Yep I ran into that same page and read it over. But I don't intend to be stomping it like an OD box either, so it should do me for a while. My only concern about the Pitchblack is it may not be the most robust. Looks like it's TB and the cost is about $129ish? Otherwise, I was checking around just now, and it seems like it would have been a great contender. The TT didn't show up in that review, and frankly, I never bumped into it in any of the sales venues I checked. The Peterson is reviewed as being not TB and it's also about $200, so that was out for me. (Yeah, we had to select each string at a time, there was no tone recognition back then :D ) I had purchased another one when the button got screwy (forget the brand) and the Korg was way more accurate. My first ever tuner was a Korg and still works after 26 years, although the string selection button is frigged up. ![]() Korg has a good rep in tuners and I personally had good experience with one. ![]() I ended up choosing the Korg Pitchblack, which is TB at $85 CDN. So, part of my selection criteria (well the main thing besides reasonable cost) was True Bypass. It has a perfectly fine tuner, but I want to get away from a buffered bypass as much as possible. What I am doing is eliminating my Digitech RP250 pedal.
