Wirmware Wednesday?

The Friedman 2010 with Legacy Cab 103 sounds absolutely stellar. Super focussed and tight sounding, pure 80s heaven

you can search online for the sweetened tuning offsets, and just enter them into the Axe's tuner settings.

I did that out of curiosity, and came across this post on this forum which is NOT correct (at the time of writing this post).
So for anyone like me, you can find the right values for sweetened tuning here:

you can search online for the sweetened tuning offsets, and just enter them into the Axe's tuner settings. Then you don't need the Peterson anymore.

Unless you still need to set reference pitch to 425hz, then you still need the Peterson

I use the Peterson sweetened tunings on my Axe-FX III, a Peterson StroboStomp on my traditional pedalboard, and a Peterson bench unit on my, well, bench .

The tuner in my Axe-FX is phenomenal no doubt, no issues tuning during a set, but I find the Peterson pedal easier to read on the stage for some reason.

Yea, 590, Strobo Hd and clip Hd I love the way they work. And for multi course instruments I find it easier to offset some strings the way I want.

The old adage still holds.... if you are comparing something to something else they have already won.... IE: as good as the Peterson, as good as a Martin, as good as a Gibson. Peterson has made the best tuners for decades. And it's a good surname as well haha. IMHO YMMV

 

[Bertotti]

Hard to oust a product that has performed at peak levels for decades. You get familiar and it works so why change. I have used the tuner on the axe but if the Peterson is handy it is my go to.

Yeah - I’ve got a 70’s analog Peterson Strobe and that thing is amazing. Dead nuts every time. Other tuners just don’t tune as well…but this new version of the tuner seems to be just as good as the Peterson.

Real question: how do you know how accurate the tuner is?

Maybe it's my set-up. On the tuner, the B5 (987.76), first string 19th fret or second strings 24 fret seem to be instable.
I try with the Bb and bend to B and the instability begins at 950Hz and stop at 1010Hz.
I see that because I intonate at the 24th fret. Rich Harris 's method from IbanezRules.

When tuner is accurate it sounds more gooder.
When tuner is inaccurate it sounds less gooder.
Science.

Because it has been calibrated by top members of the state and federal Departments of Weights and Measures, to be dead-on balls accurate.

after update: when starting Axe-Edit..

Communication time-out:
Unable to complete the following communication request: Query device version : query_sys_info

so, I deleted all axe-fx files on mac and reinstalled and then recognized after scan.

On a very practical level, how well your guitar plays high notes in tune after using that tuner to set intonation. I’ve used bad tuners and good tuners, and that is where it really sticks out.

 

[Domct203]

Real question: how do you know how accurate the tuner is?

If the guitar sounds in tune it most likely is. If you have a ‘bad’ tuner (or tuning technique) you’ll hear it when you play a chord like an open G or open E.

I tuned my guitar with my Axe-FX III then used an AB box to switch to my Peterson StroboPlus and they were pretty much identical. That is more than good enough for live use and plenty accurate for studio, unless the studio has a Peterson 490 or 590 mechanical tuner, IMO those are the tuners all others hope to be.

Not to dis the Axe, but if I’m doing a setup I’m using my Peterson.
