Turbo tuner copy

[Eagle]

With to Sonic Research turbo out of production and getting expensive used. Has anyone any experience with this copy?

I can’t find details about the specs.
The turbo (real one) is the only tuner I think is 100 in tune with my ears.

Turbo Tuner's website says:

Temporarily out of stock.
We expect to start shipping again in July. Orders are shipped in the order they were received.

Why not wait for it to come back into stock rather than give money to scumbags that make knockoffs?

Totally agree , it’s never in stock though. I would only buy this if the original is basically no longer available or a stupid price. I use my st 200 everyday.

The Mini is in stock though. If all else fails I'd rather buy that than give money to copycats. Even if the product was entirely discontinued I'd probably just move to some other brand rather than buy the copy.

I'd rather get a Peterson than give DemonFX any money.

This seems counter-intuitive to your entire being, @Eagle . I urge you to reconsider

It is.

The Peterson is crap compared to the real turbo unless you use their actual strobe.

For whatever reason I don't think I could trust an off-brand tuner. There's got to be some better options on the market.

I never tried the Sonic Research. I had the old Strobostomp back in the day, that was okay but overhyped. I have the Polytune which is pretty dang good to me, and even the Boss TU-3 isn't bad. But maybe the Turbo Tuner is way better.

 

[JiveTurkey]

It is.

Sometimes you gotta go slumming!

And you think the DemonFX turd is going to be better?

If it’s a straight copy it will be much better.

I have the ST-200 on one board and the ST-300 Mini on another board - I think both are great tuners.

I got one of each of the full size and mini a few months ago. They are great tuners and the price is very reasonable. They grab the pitch and stabilize much faster than the Peterson (which I also have). I get too impatient waiting for the Peterson and need a quick tuner like the Sonic Research Turbos or a T.C. PolyTune. The Turbos are very accurate too.

The guitar tech I take my guitars to has a big rackmount Peterson Strobe Tuner and uses the Sonic Research pedals for intonation sometimes. The minis are still in stock, so I'm guessing the full size is only out of stock because they're selling like hot cakes. Hopefully they'll be back on their shelves soon.

Thanks , I already have the ST 200 and it has the same performance. I was wanting another. I know these are the best tuner’s available. There was a uk supplier but they never have stock.

I have one, mainly out of curiosity. Couldn't resist because the OG is hard got get in Germany. It works and is fast. Is it the same as the OG? Can't say. As with most chinese products, documentation is bad. I still want an OG mini but with shipping, taxes and NO POLITICS it's around 200€. Have to fly over or get somebody to bring one. Would I put it on my board? Maybe but probably would use a TC polytune (mini) for that. Especially because I actually don't want to encourage product piracy. So I plead guilty.

It’s practically none existent here too and expensive. Importing one is £60 tax and post. I hate the PolyTune and the Peterson because they still need tweaking imo when they say “in”.
I have one old one but wanted another. I’m also not sure about paying £250 for one.

Can’t wait for the Behringer.
