Tuning 6-String Electric Guitar
Peterson tuners are highly accurate, precise and simple to use, you can tune and/or intonate your guitar to perfection even if you’ve never used a tuner of any type before. Peterson counts the majority of the world’s top guitarists, past and present among its users from Bryan Adams to Frank Zappa and from Angus Young to Zakk Wylde, so you’ll be in good company!

The electric guitar is commonly tuned to EADGBE, but there are many other tunings. Some bands use very low pitched standard tunings, some use open or alternate tunings. Many seasoned professionals “tweak” their guitar’s tuning to improve its sound; we call this “Sweetened Tuning”.

If you are not familiar with this kind of tuning jargon, relax, because there is one tuner that does it all for you. Because of Peterson tuners unique “Sweetened Tuning” feature, each tuner has a host of tempered presets which you simply choose - the tuner then guides you automatically – just like using an ordinary tuner – but sweeter. Its easy! Using your Peterson strobe tuner, your guitar will sound much better than when tuned using an ordinary tuner.

Begin with the first string, it’s located nearest the ground when holding the guitar in normal playing position.

  1. Pluck to sound the 1st string and observe the tuner display, check that the note “E” is displayed. With your left hand, adjust the tuning peg to stop the strobe pattern image from moving contuously in any one direction, continue to adjust until the strobe pattern is motionless.
  2. Repeat the above for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th strings until all strings are tuned.
Checking Intonation
    The exact position of the bridge saddles will determine whether the instrument can sound in tune when the strings are fretted. The various thickness or gauge of the strings means that some have a longer or shorter “speaking length” than others, therefore the individual saddles may need to be adjusted correspondingly. This is called adjusting the intonation of the guitar. First, note the current state of intonation. Using your Peterson Strobe Tuner, check this as follows:
  1. Having tuned the strings correctly, pluck the 1st string while fretting it at the 12th fret.
  2. If the fretted tone shows sharp on your tuner, the saddle needs to be moved a slight distance further away from the end of the neck, if it shows flat, it needs to be moved a slight distance closer to the end of the neck.
  3. Repeat this procedure with the 2nd , 3rd , 4th ,5th & 6th string. Open and fretted tones need to be in tune in each case.
  4. While this is a common system, it is not always the most satisfactory. One popular alternative is to adjust each string so that it is in tune at two points an octave apart from each other on the fretboard using a strobe tuner.
Using the 5th and 17th fret as an example:
  1. Tune a string at the 5th fret.
  2. Check the string at the 17th. If sharp, move the saddle back, thus lengthening the string. If flat, shorten the string by moving the saddle forward. Remember to fret the string using the pressure that you would normally apply while playing.
  3. Keep repeating this process until each string is in tune as much as possible at both the 5th and 17th frets.
  4. This method takes time, and has to be repeated if you change string gauges, but if properly executed, yields very satisfactory results.

Unlike other tuners which offer no alternative to generic Equal Temperament, Peterson Tuners contain many choices of “Sweetness“, in other words, several degrees of harmony or consonance in a tuning preset. The Sweetener feature is exclusive to Peterson Tuners and there is one for almost any musical instrument.
In the case of the Guitar Sweetener (the preset is called GTR), these additional “tweaks” allow the instrument to shimmer and cut through as only an expertly tuned instrument can. Some call it “voicing” or optimizing the quality of tone produced by the instrument. Using a Sweetener is simple – your Peterson tuner does the work for you.

Featuring the largest tuning display Peterson Tuners has ever incorporated into one of their pedal tuners, the StroboStomp HD boasts a high-definition, LCD screen that incorporates a variable color LED backlight. The user-selectable colors can be used to personalize the tuner or to increase display viewing quality in different levels of ambient lighting depending on the usage environment.

For tone purists, the StroboStomp HD provides a 100% silent, true-bypass operation mode to keep precious tone safe, as well as, eliminate the often annoying “pop” experienced when engaging such a feature in other products. It uses a unique series of timed relays incorporated within its circuitry to shunt the signal, draining the cause of the popping sound prior to breaking the connection, and effectively shutting the tuner down for direct play through without affecting tone quality. The StroboStomp HD also includes a long-time, user-requested buffered output operation mode that can be user engaged. The buffered mode can be used in or out of monitor mode. It is designed to boost instrument drive to overcome potential tone loss in signal chains that incorporate multiple low-impedance guitar pedals or those that utilize long cable runs. The buffered output modes preserve sonic quality all through the instrument range and keep prized core tone intact. The StroboStomp HD features over 100 exclusive Sweetened Tunings™, as well as, numbered guided tuning presets for a large variety of instruments and playing styles. Sweetened Tunings are exclusive to Peterson tuning products and are designed to help correct inherent tuning issues exhibited by many instruments. The new "Guided Tunings" mode allows the StroboStomp HD to display numeric string values instead of traditional note names making for sure-fire intuitive and rapid re-tuning to any number of open and alternative tunings. The Guided Tuning mode was instituted for beginners who want to experiment with popular alternate tunings, as well as, experienced players who employ multiple tunings in rapid succession. Numerically expressed scales are also included.

1. Make sure to keep strings in good condition, wipe them down with a cloth after playing and replace them with new strings when they become old or worn. If you break a string while playing or tuning, it often means the strings are at the end of their useful life. Old strings will never hold a tuning. Replace all strings at the same time.

2. Tune UP - not down – when tuning to the pitch of a note on your guitar.

3. I you use a capo and a Sweetener in combination, attach the capo, then dial in the relevant transposition number as follows: Capo on 1st fret = +1, Capo on 2nd = +2 etc.

4. If you want to drop tune from standard to any number of half steps or semitones down in pitch and you don’t want to learn new note names, use the Transpose feature as follows: Guitar in Standard Tuning with Transpose -1 (Minus One) = E flat Standard Tuning Guitar in Standard Tuning with Transpose -2 (Minus Two) = D Standard Tuning Guitar in Standard Tuning with Transpose -3 (Minus Three) = D Flat Standard Tuning Guitar in Standard Tuning with Transpose -4 (Minus Four) = C Standard Tuning

5. Check intonation frequently, especially when changing strings and especially prior to recording.

Electric guitars made by Gibson, Fender, Gretsch and Rickenbacker in the second half of the 20th century are particularly cherished. The 1965 “Monterey” Stratocaster played by Jimi Hendrix, B.B. King’s Gibson ES355 “Lucille”, Rory Gallagher’s 1961 Fender Stratocaster, Jimmy Page’s 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard, Eric Clapton’s “Blackie” Fender Stratocaster, Angus Young’s 1964 Gibson SG Standard, Keith Richard’s 1953 “Micawber” Fender Telecaster, Brian May’s “Red Special” and Eddie Van Halen’s “Frankenstrat” are some of the most iconic.
