The virtual strobe worked great, except for the loss of the "rich" display that showed harmonics and of the zero-latency tuning. The drawback to mechanical strobes (unless you get the new ones that change speeds automatically, or the big dollar ones with a separate wheel for each pitch) is that you have to reach out and change the note setting with each string you tune.Īfter using an old peterson for years, i swapped it for their first virtual strobe (the VS-1) mainly for this reason, i hated reaching across the bench over and over to tune a guitar. The other nice thing about a mechanical is that, being analog (no digital latency), there's absolutely no time lag between turning a tuning key and seeing a response the immediate reaction of the display makes tuning faster for me, and also lets me gauge how well the guitar nut is cut, as any delay in pitch change is entirely due to the mechanics of the guitar itself.
#PETERSON VS F STROBOFLIP VIRTUAL STROBE TUNER FREE#
Wow, 3 free mechanical strobes, nice! (by the way, peterson will re-calibrate and recondition those bad boys for a nominal fee.) as much as the petersons are a cut above everything else, the turbo has the edge over the virtual petersons for many people, myself included. It uses Peterson's exclusive Virtual Strobe Technology to provide an instantaneous picture of musical pitch. It's actually analog, so it responds like the mechanical wheel strobe, while being small, fast, and cheap. The StroboFlip VS-F Strobe Tuner is a great addition to Peterson's line of multi-temperament tuners, offering easy-to-use functionality in a flexible new design. the difference is subtle, but you get more information about string behavior with a true analog display, good for piano tuning, "pure interval" tuning, and other stuff.Īs such, most of the cool kids on TGP these days use the sonic research turbo-tuner, and rave fanatically about it (do a search on TGP about it). Thing is, the virtual stuff only shows the fundamental of a pitch, while the mechanical strobes also respond to the upper harmonics. Heck, the peterson istrobosoft app for my iphone was $10, and it's every bit as accurate as their virtual strobes (maybe more accurate, given the newer processor and far-higher screen resolution of the iphone). The digital "virtual strobes" are almost as accurate, but way less expensive to produce (as in "$150 vs. Peterson VS-F Strobo Flip Strobe Tuner w/ Power Adapter And Original Box MINT 199.99 Free shipping or Best Offer Peterson VS-F Strobe Tuner Flip-Up 100.00 15.20 shipping Peterson StroboPlus HDC - Chromatic Handheld Strobe Tuner 179.99 Was: 249.99 Free shipping Peterson StroboPlus V-SAM Virtual Strobe Tuner 184.00 15.
