You get visual
confirmation
that you're in
tune right on
each string!
This unique
pick-sized S.O.S
Strobe Pick
Tuner uses
Planet Wave's
revolutionary
Strobe-On-String
technology. If
you've set a
turntable's
pitch via a
stroboscopic
control or use
harmonic
comparative
tuning at
multiple fret
points to tune a
guitar, you will
immediately get
the concept.
Barely bigger
than a guitar
pick, the S.O.S.
emits 2
out-of-phase LED
light beams onto
the vibrating
string. The 2
beams dance on
the string when
it's out of
tune, slow down
as you approach
pitch, and stop
when you're on
the money. A
thumbwheel
selects the
right LED output
for each string
making the tuner
specific to
6-string
guitars. Since
it relies
strictly on
visuals, the
S.O.S is ideal
for noisy and
dim situations.
NOTE: The S.O.S.
Strobe Tuner
only works with
6-string guitars
in standard
tuning and its
lights may be
difficult to see
on some clear
nylon classical
guitar treble
strings.
