Strobe tuner???

What is your preference? I have a Boss tuner I really like, but I tried a strobe tuner and I was right in. Whatdya think? Is this strictly a matter of preference or is one better than the other?

The strobe tuner, I'm assuming you have a Peterson, would be more accurate; and for complex sounds, you can see the other prominate parts of the sound (partials) and what octave they inhabit, that would normally confuse the Boss. The Boss is a lot more convenient though, looking at the dial and listening usually works well enough for me.

One of the finest strobe tuners I have seen is the "Precision Strobe Tuner".

I would love to have one, but they are quite expensive. But if one had one, I believe they would love it.

Barbara, I have a Boss TU-12 H that is a great tuner, but I am using a KORG CA- 30 that I got from Carters. To me, you cant beat this little machine and for only $ 24 to $30 dollars. They are so handy and accurate.

A STROBE tuner ANYTIME.
You just CANNOT beat them with an UGLY STICK.

I wish I had my old Conn that I had back in the '80s.
Got TIPPSY and left it at the Utah State fair bandstand.
We were in friggin Montanna and set up for our next gig when I realized I left it in Utah.
Oh, well, I guess I have learned my lesson.

Thanks. Just wondering what the pros (like you guys) preferred. I know I was very impressed with the strobe but it is very expensive. I would like to try a Korg. I've heard before that they are pretty awesome.
Thanks again for your help.

I had a Conn Strobo Tuner in the 70's and I loved it. It sure settled a lot of argumnents about who was in tune or who was out of tune, pronto!

I sold it for $75. Didn't need it when I quit the band...al

Tell ya'all something about that Korg CA30, when I get lazy and don't want to setup my case with the DTR-1 in it, I just LAY that little CA30 on the guitar, touching the fret board. It works well enough to practice with, AND if you check it against the DTR, it's pretty close. Really, you don't even have to plug it in, just lay it on the top of the guitar. Someone else try it, see if it works for you.

I agree the Korg works well. Can't beat them for the price. Small, light, and it'll get you where you need to be quickly. Thanks for the tip Steven.

Have any of y'all tried the new Sabine RT-7000? Rack-mounted, supposed to be real accurate.

Barbara I might come by and visit with you this next hunting season. We hunt elk near where you live. We always stay in Craig. I never get over to Rangley, we usually don't go any further west than Maybell. As you know Maybell is a really big town. I love the area where you live. I would really like to do a lot of walking in Dinosaur National Park. I forget the name of the other river that joins the Yampa at Rangley?

Keith, Please do stop by. I'd love to meet you. I believe you're talking about the White River. It runs right through Rangely. Yes, Maybell is a thriving metropolis just like Rangely. We love to walk around the hills, it really is great.

If you're serious, my address is 301 E. Raven Avenue. You can call when you get into town and I can direct you - 675-8941.
