All Peterson tuners (except the VS-1) are user- programmable, allowing the saving of up to 244 user temperaments to memory. The VS-S StroboStomp pedal tuner/DI also features four optimized Buzz Feiten Tuning System® presets for electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass guitar and 12-string guitar. Besides stock historic temperaments, Peterson Virtual Strobe Tuners also feature unique instrument-specific temperaments such as GTR for guitar, BAS for bass, and (VS-II/V-SAM only) E9 & C6 tempered tuning for pedal steel guitar. Some of the more successful ones, like Werkmeister (WRK), Young (YNG), Kirnberger (KRN), and Kellner (KLN), are included in current models of Peterson tuners. Every temperament generally takes the name of its earliest inventor or biggest proponent. Why not settle for some nearly perfect chords in the most popular key signatures, while keeping the "wolves" at bay in the less traveled ones? There are about as many such "well tempered" scales as there have been minds conceiving of them. Between the extremes given above, there are countless compromises. Historically, the clinkers are dubbed "wolf tones" which gives some indication of their "charm".ģ. If one takes a more adventurous trek into the key of E, say, some real "ear-sores" start to develop in certain chords and intervals.
Modulating to the key of G, most chords sound good, some not quite as good. If an instrument like a piano is tuned in Just Major temperament for the key of C, notes and chords that fall in the C Major scale sound wonderful. Unfortunately, other chords, especially those in more remote keys like C# and F#, sound much worse than they would in equal temperament. In the key of C, the chords of C major, F major, and G major can each have perfectly harmonious tuning intervals. This is the concept behind Just Intonation (JST in the Temperament Menu of Peterson tuners). If we choose wisely, we can make the most important chords in a given key be the perfect ones. We can purposely shift certain scale notes closer to or farther from their neighbors to make perfect intervals or chords in some places. Unfortunately, this temperament scheme also guarantees that all chords of a given type sound equally bad! Not even one chord will have intervals that sound exactly in tune!Ģ. This is called equal temperament, the common "standard" in modern music. We can equally space the 12 notes in the octaves so that chords of each given type (major, minor, b5#7-9, etc.) sound equally good in all keys. The mathematics of positioning (tempering) 12 scale notes in an octave prevents any more than a handful of perfectly harmonious chords for any one tuning of those notes (temperament). It is perhaps a cruel joke on all of us to be given such remarkable sensitivity in judging musical pitch intervals between simultaneous sounds. Here's the blurb from the Peterson Strobe tuner web sight: It can also mean that you sacrifice the tuning of your open "cowboy" chords to get chords further up the neck to play in tune better. the price being that some other chords may not sound so good and neither is the western 12 tone system.Ī sweetened tuning can mean tuning your guitar so that the chords you use in a specific song are perfectly in tune.
Tuning on the guitar and most instruments is not perfect. The buffered output modes preserve sonic quality all through the instrument range and keep prized core tone intact.Usually means some kind of "optimized" tuning It is designed to boost instrument drive to overcome potential tone loss in signal chains that incorporate multiple low-impedance guitar pedals or those that utilize long cable runs. The buffered mode can be used in or out of monitor mode. The StroboStomp HD also includes a long-time, user-requested buffered output operation mode that can be user engaged.

It uses a unique series of timed relays incorporated within its circuitry to shunt the signal, draining the cause of the popping sound prior to breaking the connection, and effectively shutting the tuner down for direct play through without affecting tone quality. The vibrant screen colors can also be assigned to stock or user presets to significantly reduce menu navigation time and increase on-stage tuning confidence at the gig.įor tone purists, the StroboStomp HD provides a 100% silent, true-bypass operation mode to keep precious tone safe, as well as eliminate the often annoying “pop” experienced when engaging such a feature in other products. The user-selectable colors can be used to personalize the tuner or to increase display viewing quality in different levels of ambient lighting depending on the usage environment.
