This may be more tuner than I really need but I like it! I am getting into sweetened tunings and find the StroboPLUS a great tool. I have even used it to tune an autoharp.
Back in the 1970's I had a Conn Strobotuner (ST-11 I think). I got it to help keep my Guild F-512 (a very BIG 12 string guitar) in tune. Tuning that guitar was a whole additional "hobby" that my life really didn't need. I see used Conn ST-11s listed on eBay for more than twice what a new Peterson Strobo Plus HD costs. I don't have the ST-1 or the Guild f-512 anymore. That's OK with me.
If I have any complaint it is that the metronome function is not included with the tuner. Come on guys - don't be so cheap! An accesory that costs 20% of the purchase price but cost you nothing feels just too greedy. It takes away from the "goodness" of your brand, which in the long run is not good for you.
