hi guys. I’m loving my Axe 3 Fc12. But, i’ve Run into a frustrating issue... let me say 1st that I’m a freak about my tuning. I can’t stand a guitar that’s out of tune. With my Axe II, I was almost ready to buy a Peterson Strobe because I never felt the Axe 2 was as accurate as I like.
But, gloiusly, the Axe 3 has a strobe tuner! However, i’m Having problems this it. Here’s the deal:
When I strike a string to tune, I am getting 3 very different readings from the Axe strobe, the Axe linear tuner and (by far the worst) the FC12 tuner. The FC12 will show me dead center, perfectly in tune. The linear tuner on the Axe display might show me a few cents off and the Strobe tuner shows me WAY off (maybe 5+ Cents, almost always sharp vs the other 2 tuner displays. If I use the strobe to tune (which I prefer) and tune everything “up” to that, then the other 2 tuners often show me 2 bars sharp. However, if I tune to the Axe linear, the FC will show me in tune as well but I am very flat on the strobe. The FC seems happy if you are w/in 3-4 cents but that doesn’t work for me—to inaccurate.
So, I have 3 tuners on my Axe 3 and none of them agree. I’ve tried across multiple guitars. There are no “pre-Axe” efx.
I’m so frustrated i’m Back at the point of buying a Peterson but it sure seems like a $2500 modelor should not need this.
You guys have any suggestions? Is anybody experiencing similar problems? I’m inclined to use the strobe but, if I do, both other tuners show me being way flat. Thx!
