Each note has a name that may contain up to 8 characters so I have names like "1st Str" for the 1st string open and "3rd+B" for the 3rd string with the B pedal.
Selecting a note, an octave and the cents offset is very quick and easy but typing in the names for individual notes is more tedious and takes some time. The tedious bit comes from the fact that you are inputting information into a device that has only 8 buttons on it. Programming in new tunings is pretty simple. The tuner has an option to reload the factory defaults so you can always get everything back to original but if you do that you will lose all of your custom tunings and will have to reprogram them in if you want them back.

The device ships with tunings for a whole bunch of instruments and is pretty close to full with all of those so to create my own tunings I deleted all of the ones like violins and cellos that I do not anticipate ever having any use for. Because of space limitations I think you can only load Emmons or Newman but not both. The tuner ships with Newman and Emmons tunings for E9 and C6 and has separate tunings for open and pedals for each so I guess there are a total of 8 tunings there. With that I can select 1 tuning to tune all of my open strings and then if I want to tune pedals and levers I select the other tuning (just press 1 button) and I can tune everything else.
#Turbo tuner guitar tuner manual#
Rather than put everything into 1 tuning and have to jump into manual mode for certain notes I just set it all up in 2 different tunings. You can program in the different offsets but then have to jump into manual mode and tell the tuner which note to use, otherwise it seems to pick the first one in the list. The tuner supports different offsets for the same note in different octaves but within an octave if you have 2 separate tunings configured for the same note, the tuner doesn't have any good way of knowing which to use when you tune 1 of those strings. For example the offset for my open second string D#4 is not the same as the offset for the D#4 on my fourth string + lever D. I considered putting all of that into 1 tuning but decided against it because I have some conflicts between them. I have one tuning for the open strings and one tuning for all of the pedal/lever combinations. I have the ST-122a setup with 2 separate tunings for the PSG. Until I find any reason to change any of that, that is what I am using.

That is basically the Newman setup plus my extra pedals and levers, which seems to work well for me. Now that I have played with this one a bit I don't think I would want to go back, certainly for the pedal steel I think the programmable tuner is really nice. I have used a bunch of guitar tuners over the years but this is the first programmable tuner I have ever monkeyed with. I have played regular guitar for a long time and only recently started playing pedal steel. I think I ordered it on December 19th and it showed up at my door on December 24th. Much less strongly better.I recently ordered a Turbo Tuner ST-122a and have had a few days to tinker with it.
I don't usually waste any time on the cult of the Turbo Tuner but, once in a while, I have to say it is seriously not better for everyone. Accuracy you can use with a display that is always visible. Had the same Peterson Strobo Stomp for over 10 years now. You have to define, create, and save them.Īnd to top that off, the Peterson has a DC courtesy outlet that I frequently use as well as top mounted jacks which enable it to fit in about the same space as a Turbo. So if the lights are still spinning (assuming you can see them) how accurate is it really? Also, the Peterson sweetened tunings are very useful and not provided in a Turbo. As for the accuracy, the most common remark I see about a Turbo Tuner is you don't have to worry about getting the lights to stop spinning since even when spinning you are close enough or in tune. Even some well lit stages can render Turbo Tuner lights difficult to see if not invisible. No I am not going to hold my foot over it to create a shadow or create some little cardboard house for it. I'll be doing outdoor shows next week end where a Turbo Tuner would not work.
