StroboClip HD : Best offering yet for strobe fans

8 years ago

Not for the faint hearted. This tuner contains many 'sweetened' presets for all kinds of instruments. It pays off to try them, no guitar or uke is the same. My uke reacts well to the sweetened uke preset. For my brand new Taylor the eq(ual temperament) preset works best (which is a compliment to that guitar's intonation). When you first try 'sweetened ac gtr' you see the differences: some open strings are tuned slightly lower (presumably to counteract lower position 'sharpness'). This tuner contains software that remembers your settings, a piece of automation I have not encountered yet in a clip tuner. For every tuning mode it remembers your absolute pitch and capo or drop setting. The 'concert a' can be set as low as 390hz, which will suit early music devotees. The previous stroboclip had a 'sustain' setting (for instruments with very short tone duration), this setting is omitted here, to me it looks like it is permanently on. My only gripe: on my (early) sample the clip does not open wide enough for classical headstocks, so I deduct one star. It seems they have corrected this, as their website shows it clipped to a fat plank. This tuner is a great little instrument, capable of great precision. You can't really fault it IMO, so lots of stars, but it is not the no brainer tuning solution for the masses.
