Now this is a rack tuner...

eaeolian · 01-23-2007, 01:32 PM

Peterson StroboRack. I have a StroboStomp, and it's awesome.

Awakened Sleeper · 01-23-2007, 02:05 PM

Oo, nice. I was planning getting the V-Sam but this looks good.

darren · 01-23-2007, 02:19 PM

Every other rack tuner just became obsolete. That's a great piece of gear, especially with the "Pro" output module.

Matt Crooks · 01-23-2007, 02:35 PM

That looks awesome! I must have one.

Jason · 01-23-2007, 02:40 PM

wtf? no blinky lights?

metalfiend666 · 01-23-2007, 03:20 PM

I like the way the specs say 100v-240v. Methinks I'll order one from the US and save a packet. I need a new tuner anyway, my Korg DTR2000 tracks like shit on the low B.

I've been looking at rack tuners recently, and I had been wondering how the korg ones track the low B. Guess that's it out of the question now

. But if you can run the US ones over here without a converter of some kind, that'd be awesome

eaeolian · 01-23-2007, 04:03 PM

I tune my 7s with the Stomp, and it handles it just fine (obviously). The "sweetened" guitar tuning sounds great, too - now I just need to get the other two losers to get them, and we can all use it...

Maybe someone would like to give one of the loser's a few hundred bucks to buy one, since said loser is fucking broke?

The new strobostomp 2 is pretty sweet, it's the same but just beefed up for durability, using better jacks, etc.

If you're going for a Korg get an original DTR-1. 7 Dying Trees has one and it's built like a tank, tracks superbly and has a built in cable tester. It's either one of those or the Peterson next for me.

Shikaru · 01-23-2007, 05:56 PM

Hmmm, there's one on ebay with a few days left at the moment, think I'll watch it and go for it if it doesn't go too high.

It is good, very good. And it's survived being flown, toured, banged about etc etc. Just an all round sturdy well built unit.

That peterson does look good though! If it's got blue lights then it may be a candidate for the treadplate rack

I had nothing but problems with my DTR-1. It didn't track anything lower than drop-D worth a damn. Tuning a 7-string with it was next to impossible.

If that means you'll be selling the DTR-1, can I have first dibs?

James' one is excellent, tracks a low A fine and even perfectly tracks my 5 string bass tuned A,D,G,C,F at rehearsals.

$360? Wow, that seems a bit much.

Have you ever used a Peterson tuner? You'll never need another one. They're not cheap, but they are pretty awesome.

Korg DTR-2000, $258, precision +/- 1 cent
Peterson StroboRack, $360, precision +/- 0.1 cent

I'd spend $100 more for ten times the precision.

Plus Buzz Feiten offsets pre-programmed, and a host of other options? I'm sorely tempted - if I didn't already have a StroboStomp...

noodles · 01-24-2007, 04:41 PM

If I had the money, I'd get one. Since we're not playing live anytime soon, though, I have a while to save.

zimbloth · 01-24-2007, 04:54 PM

Maybe I'm missing something, and if so please pardon my ignorance, but do you really need something that advanced to have everyone in proper tune? I have a Korg DTR-1000 rackmount tuner and it tracks the low notes very well and it's pretty easy to keep your guitars in proper tune. I mean, yeah its not as sensitive, but all the notes fretted or otherwise are right in the middle and everyone sounds in perfect unison.

Perhaps if all the guitars are tuned that accurate, everything just sounds that much better, especially with harmonies, etc? I'm not slagging on that Peterson, it looks awesome, but I just am having trouble figuring out how one could need to spend that kind of coin on a tuner. Feel free to tell me I'm wrong, just curious.

Studio: the one place where being that perfectly in tune makes a real difference.
