| The Peterson Strobe Tuner company
of Illinois has had a long history of manufacturing professional grade,
durable and ultra accurate strobe tuners for over fifty years. They
have just released their new updated version of the affordable VS-II Virtual
Strobe.
The VS-II Virtual Strobe features
a new, brighter high contrast display, a fully adjustable Concert A reference,
cent offset (programmable to 0.1 cent!) , a neat drop-tune and capo tuning
assistant called FTS (Fret Transposition System), and comes with tempered
tuning presets, some of which have never before been included in a tuner.
Fans of the preceding VS-1 Virtual Strobe will be familiar with the GTR
temperament, which sweetens a guitars tuning, the VS-II adds “BAS” which
does the same for basses, and for the first time ever, E9 and C6 tempered
presets for pedal steel and lap steel guitar.
The "Bass Shift" feature allows effortless
tuning of acoustic or electric bass up to two octaves below a normally
tuned low B on a 5 string instrument. The VS-II is also programmable; there
are two user programmable temperaments, which can be used to store preferred
offsets in cents for instruments outfitted with the Buzz Feiten Tuning
System or any other custom tunings.
The VS-II contains the revolutionary
(patented) Virtual Strobe TechnologyTM first introduced in the VS-1 tuner
plus a new, brighter, high-contrast display and full user programmability.
This tuner is also perfect for setting up intonation on guitars and basses,
and will make its own price back in saved tech charges.
To top it all off, the included DC adapter is
the sleek "smart power" type and works anywhere in the world regardless
of voltage standards! |
