| After tuning my Adamas 2080 last night with the built-in VIP Tuner, I decided to check the accuracy against my Peterson StroboFlip virtual strobe tuner. I'm happy to report the VIP is spot on. The Stroboflip display shows the VIP is as accurate as the Peterson. Anyone else find similar results, or did I get a really good copy of the VIP? |

Location: NJ | I'd take ANY "On-Board" tuner's accuracy with a "grain of salt" . . .
I'd trust it t'get me "in the neighborhood", but if I were t'play WITH someone else, I'd go off the TU-2 on my PedalBoard.
(that being said, Victor's comment on the accuracy of his 2080 is indeed good t'hear) |

Location: Tychy, Poland | i'm tunning only with harmonics, i mean -> i make harmonic on 5th fret and tune guitar because it's most accurate.
tunning with empty strings is almost always a bit off. |

Location: NJ | tuning with harmonics only works if your intonation is "spot on". few acoiustics if any are.
probably the best way would be to have a complete set of tuning forks. |

As far as I can tell, the newer compact V-Series are precalibrated at the factory and if they somehow get knocked out of calibration, you would have to send it back to the factory for a fix. |
