The VS-R StroboRack Virtual Strobe Tuner incorporates Peterson's patented Virtual Strobe technology in a single space rack format. Amazing accuracy (0.1 cent), a huge Strobe display screen, all metal construction, Neutrik jacks and banks of sweetened tunings for electric, acoustic, bass, 12-string, pedal steel, resonator guitar, electric violin & instruments using the Buzz Feiten Tuning System. The large graphics tuning display can be used to display any message or slogan when not tuning. By simply entering your message using the front panel knob, it will then display when the tuner is in its non-muted "play" mode. The custom message can either scroll on the screen or come up line by line.

Ever tune your instrument as precisely as possible and it still sounds a bit off, particularly when you play in certain keys? Peterson's Sweetened tunings tap into the tempered tunings that make each instrument sound the best it can, across the board, in every key. The Peterson StroboRack's banks of sweetened tunings are programmed for specific instruments. Each is a well-tempered tuning for your specific type of instrument, and it sounds, well, sweet!

Upgrade your StroboRack for any type of signal with the optional SR-EX StroboRack Pro Input Expander.

Never struggle with your tuner again. Order today.

Its worth the money

I like keeping my rig small and compact. This unit is a must have. Pedal Steel guitar can be tuned when changing a broken string in the middle of a song... unlike waiting for the song to end so you can hear the harmonics to confirm. The sweet tuning offers 2 PSG settings. I use the Jeff Newman version. You silently tune all pedals, knee levers, and open strings... and that's it! When done, you're in the pocket. It's so accurate there is no need for harmonics to fine tune. The rack mount model is on the high end of the Peterson tuners, but the convenience of having it always there without having to run extra cable is worth it. Display screen is easy to read even outdoors in the afternoon. If I had to recommend ONE modification, it would be to enlarge the small portion of the screen that displays what sweet tuning instrument you are using. If the bass player uses it too, and forgets to turn the setting from Bass back to PSG, its easy to forget since the display size is small. Either way, Buy it!

If you are sick of korg or boss tuners not tracking properly this is the way to go. As a guitar player, I can watch this tuner track as I bend the string. Awesome. The sweeteners and temperaments really help for intonation etc. I have yet to play a rackmount tuner that comes close. All the others are the same as any other $20 tuner. Most tuners are accurate to 1 cent, but the peterson is accurate to 1/10th of a cent. Don't kid yourself.

Great Tuner !!! But only one very important Mistake : NO adjustments for the Display (Contrast, Brightens). Most of the times very hard to read display on the stage (even its located high in the rack).
