After watching Cooper's video, and many others, I ordered one for my strat and one for my 614ce. Coolest thing since the Axe-Fx.
Reviews I've seen have been positive so far. My problem is that no review has addressed the question of the floating bridge. The best response thus far has been to say that adding a spring or two will "allow the Tronical to work." However, this falls short of addressing the question in a manner expected of a product review. Does the product work with a floating bridge or not? That question is not to be brushed off with the vague "adding a spring" response which at best indicates that it does not work with a floating bridge until that floating bridge is made to not float. Does a floating bridge need to be made to not float for this product to work? If that is true, then here we have quite a "drawback." Because not one review I have thus far seen or read has addressed this I am left to guess it indeed has this very drawback. I look forward to a review that specifically demonstrates this unit tuning a guitar with a floating floating bridge, not a floating bridge that has been made to not float.

The Tronical system works just fine with a floating trem when you add a spring. There is nothing vague about that.
I can tell you that in general......the Tronical system "freaks out" ....just as we players do when tuning up a full floating trem. Unless you are already at equilibrium or at least very near to it.....the Tronical will freak as it continuously tries to tune the strings.
You can lock the bridge and tune up with it, go back to floating
The Tremol-No really helps a lot when changing strings as well and getting quickly back to equilibrium.
I can just imagine that being the case. I've seen the Tremol-No recommended, and it makes sense, as does increasing spring tension in order to pull the plate against a fixed point. Without temporarily fixing the bridge, is there a point where the Tronical will "get it" or will it go haywire and not find the tuning?

Now that is what I've been hoping to hear. That is promising.
Yeah, that is a very useful tool.
Thanks for the input.
I tuned a Floyd-equipped guitar with the Tronical about fifteen times at NAMM last week and it worked just as well as it does on a fixed bridge.
I recently bought one of these and used it "live", for the first time, during last night's gig.
It's not working very well for me - it's hit or miss with regard to how well it tunes my guitar. I've got a Don Grosh ElectraJet, set up for dive only. I played with it for an hour yesterday, prior to the gig, trying to get it to work more consistently, but still had to tune by hand last night. For instance, there's a calibration step to teach it how you plan to strum the strings during tuning. Since its built-in tuning presets are consistently sharp (on my guitar, with my unit, at least) compared to the Axe-Fx's tuner
Can you post more info about Tronical tune and Floyd Rose? ThanksAs I mentioned before, Uli Roth uses them on all his guitars with Floyds.
