Its got a bit of age on it but it still works perfectly. The best feature is it uses AA batteries. I use the rechargeable ones and always keep a few on standby.
IF the new Peterson tuner had this feature I would buy one.
Not a fan of charging odd ball internal batteries. |

Greg the StroboPlus HD has the same type of lithium battery as a cellphone, and hence you just charge it with a USB cable ! so much easier than changing or using rechargeable batteries, you could even charge it in your car on the way to a gig. You can also use the USB port to update software and sweeteners etc so it is much more flexible and future proof than the old Flip tuner.

thanks for the input. Years ago I bought a Sharp portable mini disk recorder. It had an internal battery that worked fine for a year or two then went bad. It would have been a major job to replace the odd ball internal battery not to mention the exorbitant cost of the battery . Lesson learned.
As far as rechargeable batteries I always keep a couple charged. I just pop the battery lid and put the new ones in. Absolutely no problem. |
