Well let me say this about that. After much research on the internet AND on this Forum, I decided to get the Peterson VS-II tuner to replace my 21 year old Korg (originally bought from Sho-Bud).
Without a doubt, this is some of the best money I've ever spent on my guitar. In just a few minutes of opening the box, I had tuned all pedals and knees to the E9th temperments and the ol' Black LeGrande sounded sweet! The chords were tight, and there was none of the "needle flitters or jumps" I had cussed at so many times with the old Korg.
FWIW, I think the VS-II is great! Even though many times I'll tune by ear for practice purposes, in high noise environments that is impossible, but now with the VS-II, it's all a snap and I think the tuning is tighter than what I've personnaly been able to get before (too many years around noisy radar transmitters and flying on cargo planes).
Just a little of my $0.02 worth.
Thanks to b0b for this wonderful forum that was such an invaluble source of historical and solicited information and to the super folks that posted their thoughts, views and opinions on the VS-II and other topics over the years.
Have a great day.

| Nice post, Ricky. I'm moving it to 'Electronics', which is where it belongs. |

Ricky, when you first turn on the VS11.
Can you start tuning to E9th without making
any kind of adjustments.
And how are you tuning to C6th?
Thanks

Confused about the Peterson VS strobes as one was available with the pedal steel presents (which I would think us steel players would find advantageous) and then there was mention of another model Peterson preferred over the one with presets?
Would like to get one......someday but for now I'll stick with my old Korg WT-12[This message was edited by Kevin Mincke on 14 July 2004 at 08:44 PM.] |

I bought the V-SAM. I'm finding that not all of my guitars tune to the same presets. Therefore, if I put in presets for one guitar, those same presets won't work for another guitar. Are any of you experiencing this?

Glenn, I used the temperments as delivered just to try them out. THey were established by Jeff Newman and I've been using his temperments since 93. It came out great for both my E9 and C6th since I am familiar with those temperments.
From sit down to fully tuned, both necks and all pedals/knees, it was just shy of 10 minutes including "how do I use this thing" time.
