The display has been turbocharged, as well, with a super bright readout. Is there a better tuner out there than the Sonic Research Model ST-300 Stomp Box Strobe Tuner Thread starter 244300 Start date 1 2 Next. Ive used the Turbo Tuner ST-122 side by side with my StroboFlip. A 'true strobe' has a mechanical spinning disk with a strobe light flashing upon it and when youre in tune the frequency of the strobe light 'freezes' the little marks on the spinning disk. The true bypass switch enables silent tuning, and no tone loss. The one by Sonic Research is just as 'virtual' as the Petersons. ![]() There are two new modes: Drop D and Capo, enabling accurate tuning when using a capo, performing in Drop D, or any other alternate tuning. It can also be used as a standard tuner, with the LEDs acting like a strobe display, with super accurate tuning like the old school strobe tuners. This concept may be alien to guitarists, but after using it in this mode, hearing is believing. The idea is that even after tuning each individual string at perfect pitch, when played together they are not quite in tune with one another. The polytune functions enables the player to strum a chord, and the tuner displays what strings are out of tune. There is actually ZERO load put on the signal.Pedal tuners are nothing new, but TC’s PolyTune was a game changer, and their PolyTune 2 goes to the next level. This means you can leave the tuner in your pedal chain without any worry that it will interfere with the signal as it passes through it. Additionally, when the tuner is turned off the input signal is passed directly to the output. When the ST-300 is turned on the output of the tuner becomes muted. This ‘stroboscopic display’ provides you with an easy way to visualize the tuning of your guitar or bass while you tune. As we touched on previously the tuner incorporates the use of LED’s that are positioned in a circular fashion around the note display. The display of the ST-300 is incredibly easy to read, which is great if you plan on using it on-stage or under bad lighting conditions. It should be mentioned that while in this mode the string number will be displayed instead of the note name. ![]() The beauty of the ST-300 is that you are able to modify these settings for whatever tuning you want (up to 9-strings). The ST-300 comes with 5 pre-programmed settings for you to use: guitar, bass, CST1 (standard), CST2 (drop D), and CST3 (6-string bass). Guitar/Bass Mode: In this mode the tuner only selects notes that are defined for the particular tuning. The ST-300 features 2 different modes for you to choose from: chromatic, and guitar/bass mode.Ĭhromatic Mode: In this mode the tuner will respond to all 12 notes of the chromatic scale. The only difference is that the full-sized version can be powered using a 9V battery or AC adapter, while the mini can only be powered through the use of an AC adapter.Īccurate tuning is very important in making sure your guitar sounds right, and I can tell you right now that the ST-300 is incredibly accurate. In saying that though, both versions still feature all of the great things you would expect from the ST-300. As you would expect the mini version is much more compact, which is great for those that are looking for a smaller sized tuner. There are two iterations of the ST-300 that exist right now – a full-sized version, and a mini version. These specs were taken directly from the official Turbo Tuner Model ST-300 owner’s manual if you want to go and check it out.
