Hey there,
I have experience with the Peterson stroboflip tuner and its pedal steel presets.
I am thinking about purchasing the new HD unit.
Are the presets better on the new unit? I hear it has pedal and knee pre's as well?
I guess my question is......Since I'm currently without a tuner, and in the market for one. Which of these two would you recommend?
Thank you!
PS. If anybody has Either for sale please message me.
Thanks again

HD, has more useable presets, although I prefer size of the Flip ( not in production now).Both excellent units .

The current production HD model can be programmed with a computer. It will also allow different presets for the same note. For example the "F1" note can be one offset and the "F2" can be a different offset. The Flip model could not do that.
I have mine programmed with the Newman settings, both the opens and the pedals/knee levers in one program (except for the 4th string E to F$ change).
Same way with the C6th all in one except the 3rd string C to B change.
As programmed from the factory, the opens are in one program and the pedals/knees are in another (but the pedal changes for the Newman settings do not reflect the knee lever changes common today). |

Can be, or MUST be? I thought I'd heard they dropped the autonomous programming.

The Newman and Emmons are built in. That's one of the selling points of the tuner.
But, the user can program their own (or have someone else share their programs with the user). I just modified (fixed) one of mine about two weeks ago and I shared my programs with another user about a month ago. |

Doesn't Anyone Use An "E" Tuning Fork Anymore?
