My Peterson Strobe tuner has started misreading notes. I have it set to the sweetened e9th. I did a gig last month and while I was tuning up, it sort of locked up a couple of times and then it started reading wrong. It is reading the F#'s as C# and all others are wrong. Has anyone else had a problem? I have tried all I know to do. Any advice other than sending it in for repairs? Minimun charge $60.

Charley how are you connecting the guitar to it? are you running it from the battery or the power supply?? could be something simple, like a failing battery or maybe you have it hooked up wrong, sounds like the tuner is not getting enough of a signal from the string.

Just one of the many reasons why I love my Peterson Stroboflip!

Sue is a great help, I've talked with her a few times and she is ALWAYS patient with me and takes the time to explain things to this dumb as fencepost steeler. Sue, thanks for all your help!!! you're a great asset to the Peterson team.

Thanks! It is my pleasure to be able to help all of you Steelers!
I love the way a pedal steel sounds. Chuck, anyone who plays a pedal steel should not call themselves 'dumb as fencepost'. I think it is one of the most difficult instruments to learn, much less play!
Sue

I have a question for Sue. My Stroboflip is great. I was wondering how much cabinet drop are the sweetened psg0E9 offsets designed to compensate for? I know that all guitars can experience differing amounts and wanted to consider going through the process of customizing the cent offset for my Rains. My guitar sounds super on 95% of the changes on my D-10. I feel some pedal/lever combos could sound a bit better. Thanks in advance, Jeremiah

I'm a pretty new steeler and have been debating which tuner to buy. Your service here in this forum has sold me on the Petersen Stroboflip!
I'm going to get one right away. |

Hi
The 0E9 preset has the E's at 0.0 cents with everything else tuned more or less beatless from there, so there's not as much compensation for cabinet drop as there is with the SE9 preset which has the E's at +9.8 cents.
You can enter your own offsets to compensate for things like cabinet drop, custom raises and lowers etc.
Tune the guitar until it sounds good to you, then measure and note the offsets using the tuner in Equal Temperament.
Then you can enter your settings in one of the programmable spots (S1-S4 or T1-T4)
Please call me with any questions. This is much easier to explain over the phone
Thanks

Jeremiah: there are some pedal/kl combos that just never will sound sweet and beatless without compensators, but that's no fault of the tuner, Peterson or otherwise.
For instance, I couldn't live without: my F lever's 2 raise compensators, simply extra pulls that sharpen strings 3 and 6 a tiny bit. Those strings are the 3rds in an open chord and generally tuned flat to sound good. But in an A+F chord (no bar, a C# chord), the G# is the 5th in a C#, and it's a lousy sounding chord unless you raise it back to straight up on your electronic tuner.
Similar problems exist on string 7, more on that if you're curious.

| Guess I'll have to call Sue some time I keep going back to the Korg CA-30, I just can not get the strobe image to a full stop, if its rolling down as the note is flat as I tighten the tuning peg ever so slowly to increase it's pitch to the point where the strobe is now rolling up and maybe some portions stop at various points. I'm new to it and just can't catch on. Spending 20 minutes just trying to get one string in tune. |
