| I've had 4 on order since last May. I hear they shipped the first batch last month, so hopefully I'll be seeing them soon and I'll let you know. I have a stroboflip which I love, but clients have a hard time with it at first. I assume it will be the same for the rack version. Best, Jamie |

| I have one, I use the 490 Im not selling it though check ebay but I also have strobosoft and I have a couple old CONN strobotuner. They are all great. But to be honest the peterson strobo soft is the most acurate. I know they claim they are all +-.01 percent or whatever but the software is more acurate for some reason Im only talking a cent here or there but that makes a difference |

| I purchased Sonic Research's Turbo Tuner for $129.99, and I have to say it would be a good buy at twice the price. My guitar sounds like a different instrument; it already sounds much more like those expensive acoustic guitar sounds I've been after. Accurate tuning seems to be sadly neglected by many folks. |

| I've got a StroboStomp (the original one, I believe they have a newer version out) and it's a solid tuner. It can be run on batteries, though I wouldn't recommend it, since it has a pretty hefty current draw because of the nice LCD. Rick |

| MAC? Last I checked the strobo soft is not available for mac, too bad I would buy it immediately, I have the Vsam and love it.

With the strobosoft it basically just comes down to it has a kickass algorithm that emulates a strobe. It's not a real 'strobe' but emulates one. I'm sure the stroboflip and the other virtual models just have the strobosoft emedded into the firmware. Those are 200+ because they still need hardware to execute and display what's on the eprom right? The strobosoft uses your computer hardware so all your paying for is essentially petersons virtual strobe algorithm. Their stuff kicks ass. The software, the virtual strobes like the flip and the mechanical strobes like the old conn's. They are all really good The bottom line is if you don't tune to a strobe your not in tune. If you tune to a Piano well that's just another can of worms I don't have time to address. Tempered Tuning and gtrs is complicated | |

| I would use strobosoft over any hardware tuner I have tried (most of the big ones) I'm running it on a mac. Peterson said they are making a plugin version of it too narco |
