Not sure what you are looking for (portable or rack), but I use a Korg D2 rack mount tuner and it works very well. Dave

I prefer Albacore in mineral water, but Yellowfin in oil is pretty good too. Make sure it's Dolphin-friendly.

Is that like Llama-Friendly??

No . . . that would be something "else" . . .

Never mind . . . . (sorry).

Chromatic works better for 12 strings.

The one you got will work fine on 6 strings.

I use a Peterson strobe tuner. The 490R. Its a rack mounted unit. They also have Strobostomp pedal tuner. It takes a little getting use to but my tuning is more consistent and sounds great. Plus they have "sweetened" tunings for guitar. Check out their website for more info.

Any opinions about the Peterson virtual strobe tuners like the strobostomp and VSII?

They had one in the Hamer shop during the tour. The guy setting up the guitars didn't like them.

Said the real strobe units were much better. Said the virtual units were overpriced.

I thought they were cool looking.
