The only thing you need to try these is the $9.99 Peterson strobe tuner app…it is MUCH easier to use a Peterson Strobo HD series tuner that starts at $59.99, but it can be done on the Peterson iStroboSoft app for $9.99. I’ve presented all the irrefutable evidence, and it seems that no one has responded to that. I’ve asked someone else that question and it has gone unanswered. Have you simply tried the tuning offsets that I have posted here and played along with the recording that I’ve notated the offset from? And anyone that has used a strobe tuner would know that you can measure the pitches from the guitars on the records and notate them using a strobe tuner. Anyone that has done this would know that tuning offsets are being used.

I suppose I took it for granted that most people that play guitar learned from classic rock records like I did and they learned how to tune to the guitars that are on the records so that they can learn and play along with them. So yes…I’ve thought about “how these guys were using them”. Unless you didn’t bother to click on the video and watch and listen at the specific 0:35 second timing that I mentioned.Īnd oh yes…this entire thread goes over exactly how Eddie and his technicians used his.

Have you thought about that?You just heard Alan Rogan describe how he used it with Pete Townshend. We know these guys were using strobe tuners,īut do we know exactly how they were using them? The phrase Savant Syndrome would be more appropriate.ĭid Edward have it? We will never know, unless any of us were his psychiatrist. Great for packing up with the jazz band for contest trips.The phrase you've been using, _ savant, is actually considered offensive nowadays. 'An addled mind is the Devil's Playground.'īids up past $50 bucks.More than I'd like to spend. I played a lot of long tones in front of it…sax has a lot in common with slide guitar as far as pitch is concerned. We had a version of that tuner with 12 different strobe wheels laid out like a piano keyboard at my high school…it was great for developing your 'ear' Location: Chicago, not ready for reform, yet I'm now using a Cleartune app on my phone. Perhaps my enthusiasm is nostalgic in nature. Chrome crystal mic in the front cover as I recall. Ide pay $35 for it just for its vintage design face.

For some reason, Reranch told me that name was banned when I tried to use it. We used these in the 60's in grade school too. I have had a few of them over the years and they work well, until they don't. There is an internal oscillator that is uses to give the strobe to spinning relationship that you see.

You will need to have it aligned so that it's giving correct info. I've tuned guitars and set intonation with my old Boss TU-12 for ages, but strobes are supposed to be way more accurate, right? This is obviously very old but looks like it was well cared for. Posted: Sun 1:19 am Post subject: Is a strobe tuner worth it?
