The Turbo and Petersen both have some really cool 'extra' features that are desirable for me and my needs but may be 'overkill' for you. The 'Turbo' is the most accurate, the Petersen is second and the Korg is third (it's not a strobe). I have three of the 'higher-end' tuners, a Turbo ST-200 (pedal tuner), a Petersen 'strobo stomp' and a Korg 'pitch black' (really cheap - $89.00). If you don't do your own intonation you 'may' not really need one(?) - that's your call. I wouldn't check or set intonation with it but I'd have no problem using it on stage.Įssentially strobes are just more accurate and that's why we like 'em. *Though I will add that the 'standard' Boss TU-2 is IMO a really good tuner. Any background noise or harmonics from the musical instrument add to the problem, and this is why the needle tends to be unstable. The tuner averages a number of cycles of the note and uses this average to drive the display. The problem is that the waveform generated by a musical instrument is complex and constantly changing. Even the slightest difference between the two will show up as a rotating motion in the strobe tuner.Ī 'needle' tuner uses a microprocessor to measure the average period of the waveform, then uses this to drive a needle, a simulated needle (LCD) or LEDs. and at a reasonable price.Ī strobe tuner shows the difference between a reference frequency and the musical note. And, unlike the grail, they're out there.
