I decided to can the Korg DT-10 and picked up the StroboStomp, I like the display on this tuner a lot not to mention the accuracy of this pedal.

Anyway any tips from you other Strobo users, Do you prefer the Peterson Sweetened tuning over the normal tuning. And does it matter if its placed after OD or Distortion pedals or is it best before any gain pedals! I do have it setup for true Bypass.

good move, you'll love it. right now i'm using standard tuning and i'm finding my intervals and partials are dead on. what a pleasure to use after all the others i've tried. now i just have to get the rest of the band to get em. mine is last in the chain before the amp and set to TB.

Exactly the same response I was going to give.

When I had my VS1, the manual said to use your neck pickup and turn the volume to about 3. I like to put the tuner first for the least crap in front of it.

I used the VS-ll. Like to put it first in the chain.I prefer the Peterson Sweetened tuning.

Thanks, I did notice I had to lower my volume for a stable reading but it does lock in nicely. I was on Petersons web site and forum and it apears they have great customer service.

the strobo has to be the best gig tool i have.i still have a rackmount tuner but with strobo you can tune mid song and nobody knows,plus my anderson's have the feiten and strobo has the settings.anybody try the DI on it yet?

I put mine before the other pedals. That way if I find the need to tune in the middle of a song where I'm using any of the other pedals I can hit the switch on the Peterson and tune without having to turn off the other pedals to get an acurate reading.

Strobo is the first pedal on my board.

I use the Feiten tuning and that works great for me - better than the "sweetened" tuning mode, although I think we are probably splitting a few hairs on this one.

The "sweetened" tuning has offsets that are designed to maximize the tuning of 4th and 5th intervals. If you play alot of barre chords or drop D tunings, this may be a be a better choice for you. We all play those intervals, but I don't use alot of big barre chord shapes.

The Feiten tuning is designed to provide better tuning too, but it is not focused on specific intervals. I think the best choice for an individual is more dependent on their chord voicing preferences. Again, I don't think the difference between them is huge though.

TD, I've got a strobostomp and have been curious about using the Feiten tuning setting. I'm terrible with setups, doing intonation, etc. I usually take my guitars into the shop every few months to get setup (pathetic, I know...) Can you ue the Feiten tunings without setting the intonation with the Feiten tunings, or does that make no sense?

Well I only had this thing for a couple of days but I really like this tuner, I'm using the peterson sweetened tunings.

I like the way distorted chords sound using this method!

I just called Ted and ordered one. Damn you all.

Soundhound: Why don't you give me a number where I can reach you at home later? Maybe I can help you with the whole setup issue and we can discuss the Feiten tuning/offset thing while we're at it! email me at: BReuschling@msn.com and let me know when would be a good time to try to reach you (I'm on the East Coast).

yeah, i just picked one up on a string run before my show this saturday. you're all to blame. it was great. i have never owned a tuner, but i always bummed cheap ones and this one kills them. i am intrigues by all of the alternate tunings you guys speak of, i haven't really had a cahnce to delve deep into it yet.

I use the Peterson VS-1 stand-up tuner. I believe it operates on the same principle. All I do is turn it on and tune away. It is a very precise instrument, and works very well for me, on stage and off.
Hope you enjoy your Stobostomp.
