![]() ![]() The Peterson tuner range includes all existing tuning and intonation offsets for the Buzz Feiten Tuning System. Designed to improve the tuning results of guitars and basses that have been built to include the Buzz Feiten System, it includes the installation of a special shelf nut. This system requires the use of specific and differing tuner cent offsets for both open strings and 12th fret position. The following is a guide to the use of the Buzz Feiten Tuning System. You can tune or intonate that BFTS axe to perfection without looking up numbers or charts! Even better, Peterson tuners feature the most Buzz Feiten System settings of any tuner made today. Peterson tuners are the most accurate, without which the system will be much less effective. The first thing you need is a tuner which has the settings for this system pre-programmed. But, the Strobostomp is better (though it does have its little quirks, like I said).Peterson tuners are highly accurate, precise and simple to use, if you have a guitar or bass with the Buzz Feiten Tuning System fitted, there are things you can do to get the most out of it. If you have the TU-2, don't panic - it works fine, just like it always has. It wasn't worth it to me to spend the money on a second Strobostomp when the Boss actually does the job pretty durn well (and that's even considering that the Strobostomp has the extra bass-friendly feature of having a DI out, which could be nice in an emergency). But, after getting the Strobostomp for my guitar, I decided I can live with the TU-2 on my bass rig. ![]() I figured I was going to get two Strobostomps, one for the guitar and one for the bass. And, once you have all in tune readings, you'll actually be very much in tune, whereas with the TU-2, while you'll basically be in tune, there is some slop in the tolerances and thus you'll be tiny amounts off here and there.Īll that said, I have two rigs - one for guitar, one for bass. The Strobostomp also has its quirks when it comes to getting good readings (mine sometimes shows the wrong string, for example), but overall, once you get used to it, the Strobo will get you in tune quicker. It's hardly unuseable or anything, but it is a little frustrating. If you are tuning up to pitch, for example, you might have already passed its in tune reading by the time it displays you as in pitch. The Boss has the annoying characteristic of sometimes reading about a half second behind whatever you are doing. The Strobostomp tunes noticeably more accurately than the TU-2, and it gets your guitar in tune more quickly (though there is a little bit of a learning curve with the Strobostomp - for the first week or two it might actually take you longer). Now when you actually do go to tune, again, the TU-2 works, but the StroboStomp works better. With the Strobostomp in line but not in use, your signal will be noticeably (not earthshakingly, but slightly) better than if you had the TU-2 in line. The TU-2 does effect your bypassed sound - it's not bad, but there is some noticeable change compared to guitar to amp. ![]() The TU-2 is a good product, but the Peterson is superior. I have both - get the Strobo if you can afford it.
