The strobe tuners from Peterson have long
been regarded as the cream of the crop
for those that do fine intonation and pro
setup work, or those that have the extra money
to spend and simply want the most accurate
pedal tuner available. Peterson’s StroboStomp
is a classic among luthiers, guitar technicians,
and others who make their living getting
electric guitars in optimum playing condition.
The newest version of this venerable tuner
is the VSS-C StroboStomp Classic. It tunes
with unprecedented accuracy, to within +/0.1 cents, features pristine, buffer-free true
bypass circuitry, and has a fully featured XLR DI
output for studio work. In addition, this model
can also connect to a computer for software
updates, making it totally future-proof and
infinitely upgradeable. Many musicians have
sworn allegiance to the Peterson for its many
“sweetened” tuning presets, which basically
allow one to tune just about any instrument
in any way imaginable. There are numerous
guitar and bass presets, several Buzz Feiten
tuning system modes, as well as bluegrass and
pedal steel settings and an orchestral mode.
The StroboStomp classic sells for around 200
bucks street price, and is worth every penny.
