Strobe Tuner, FTW!!!!

Drew · 02-25-2007, 05:41 PM

My parents just gave me a Peterson V-SAM as an early birthday present.

On one hand, I now no longer have any excuse save for sheer laziness to not be perfectly in tune. I redid the intonation on my Schecter, flipped it into guitar tempered mode, and tuned back up, and I've never played a G chord that sounded so good.

On the other, this means Chris's guitars will be 10x more well intonated when he has me set them up for him.

Looks like he's gonna have to move onto the hard liquor as payment now

I'm still waiting on my strobe tuner to arrive from Jason.

I want one, give yours to me as a bday present.

Strobe tuners are indeed nice. Now you get to spend an extra minutes every day tweaking your tuning until it's perfect.

They can also drive you insane.

They're so sensitive, you can spend hours tuning....only to find out your Low B is out again.

For intonating, they're the foshizzle.

Man... the worst thing about my Strobostomp is how picky it's made my ears. You start hearing the tiniest fucking things!

Stop giving me GAS with your shiny new toys people!!! I can't afford any GAS right now! Argh!

Chris · 02-25-2007, 10:24 PM

This is great, it's just like me getting one!

Peterson tuners = WIN!

My Strobostomp is the best piece of gear i've ever invested in.
