Product Information

Chrome needs access to /dev/hidraw*, so either set "chmod a+rw /dev/hidraw*" or start chrome as root with the --no-sandbox option The TU-3 takes a lot from its older brother. Starting with the classic stomp pedal design, which many like, especially when they want the tuner to fit well with the rest of the pedalboard. The TU-3 has a more detailed display compared to the legendary TU-2, with a larger amount of sections/LED lights. It’s worth noting that this display performs the best out of all listed here outdoors under sun glare. Keep that in mind if that’s something you want from a tuner. There isn’t that much to say about the TU-3 except that most everyone who plays the guitar has either this or the older model. While there are more accurate tuners out there, filled with way more features, this is a workhorse – bare bone tuner that will serve you for years to come.

The main things to mention here are the micro USB for future firmware updates and the custom tunings modes. Please note that you cannot use the USB for charging, which is a minus. This is combined with a clear and vibrant LED screen and the polyphonic functionality will reveal which of your strings are in and out of tune by simply strumming your strings.

StroboClip is, as the name implies, a clip-on tuner. But, the first part of the name implies something a little bit more interesting. That is that this is a strobe tuner. Simplified, this means that it offers much greater accuracy than a chromatic tuner.

First worth mentioning is what Peterson calls “Sweetened” tunings. These are presets which alter the standard tuning to make your guitar sound better – at least according to Peterson. Included are also the Buzz Feiten tuning, as well as other non-standard tunings such as Drop D, DADGAD, etc. With the all new Peterson StroboClip HD you get a clip-on tuner with the same pin-point precise strobe tuning technology as their much-coveted pedals, but in a new, small and sleek-looking enclosure that clips onto the end of your instrument. I tested this tuner against a phone app, a Windows app, and the Snark ST-8. The impression is that the StroboClip is the most reliable of the bunch. You feel most confident that the note is on point, whereas with the phone app you feel like – alright, it’s good enough. To compile our list of the best clip-on guitar tuners, we combine our expertise, meticulous research, and insightful discussions with our editorial team. We consider factors such as tuning accuracy, ease of use, display quality, durability, and value for money, ensuring that we showcase the finest clip-on tuners on the market.

All the power of a StroboStomp HD, mini-fied!

What’s important is that the tuner does its job pretty well, and most people will find it amazing anyway. This is especially the case with people for whom this will be their first tuner ever. Some of the more experienced will however notice the gap between this and a more premium tuner. Conclusion: This is the best tuner I have used. It may be over the top for most casual players, but if you are frustrated with cheaper tuners this one will not disappoint. There are conflicting opinions on whether such accurate tuners are necessary. In my opinion it really depends on who you are playing with and whether you need/want a very close tuning. Another factor is speed. A responsive tuner like this one lets you tune up fast, which is really nice when playing with other people or live. The Snark uses the high-sensitivity piezo sensor to detect a note. The display is bright and clear, and it’s adjustable (can rotate 360 degrees). It even has a battery-saving feature that dims the light after ten seconds and completely shuts down the tuner after two minutes of idleness. The Peterson StroboClip HD brings Peterson’s highly accurate True Strobe tuning technology to the clip-on tuner format. It is now available from Merchant City Music - Glasgow’s longest established guitar specialist. Visit us in the shop, where a member of staff will be happy to talk you through its features. Alternatively, buy online for fast delivery to the UK, Europe and beyond. Then there is your playing style. The harder you hit the strings, the more you will pop in and out of tune. You can see this whenever you play a string through a tuner, whenever you play a note it goes sharp before returning to pitch.

That’s easy – because you are not a sadist and you wish to keep your bandmates and audience sane! There’s nothing worse than an out-of-tune guitar, or indeed the sound of a guitar tuning up. On the best standalone tuner, this was a toss between two different tuners, the Korg and the Boss TU-12EX. But, seeing how the Boss is almost twice as much money, Korg seemed like a better deal. And there isn’t that much to the Boss to be worth the extra money, to be honest.
