The downside is that, being high-precision electromechanical devices, true strobes, such as the renowned Peterson and Conn models of the '70s and beyond, are bulkier and far more expensive than the typical electronic tuner used by almost every guitar player today. Real strobe tuners use optical techniques with rotating discs to generate their unique pattern of moving bars, which approach and then achieve stillness when tuning is achieved. The few compromises are vastly outweighed by the obvious benefits, particularly for the studio user. SummaryStrobe performance at a significantly lower cost than the real thing.
#PETERSON VS 1 VIRTUAL STROBE TUNER PORTABLE#
The VS1 Virtual Strobe Tuner from Peterson seeks to offer most of the benefits of expensive mechanical strobe tuners, typically used by piano tuners and all good guitar techs, in a more affordable, portable package. Too expensive? Too bulky? Not when it's this palm-sized 'virtual' strobe. When 'close enough' is just not good enough, you need a strobe tuner. Perfect for setting up guitars, basses, mandolins, etc. Runs (almost forever) on 3 AA batteries or a wall wart (not included).
#PETERSON VS 1 VIRTUAL STROBE TUNER FREE#
Has only been in a clean, smoke free studio. Really nice backlit strobe tuner - works perfectly.
