ETD'S ??? HELP

[Andrew Anderson]

Ron,
I've had a Peterson 490 ST.  Don't go there.   If anyone wants it I'll  
sell it for 50% off of new with case & pedal.

I have a Verituner VT100.  I can recommend it with one small  
reservation.

I do not like the stock tuning on the VT.  It is too FACish and that  
shows up around the breaks.  I set up my own custom tuning on it that  
utilizes the interval checks that I use aurally by octave with the  
priority that I have for them.  Its tunings match my aural tunings to  
a 'T'.

It is available as a box or as software for a small computer.  I'm  
waiting for the smartphone version to upgrade to.  My old box is  
getting to the point where it needs a battery transplant.

I don't know the others.  I don't know if they can be programmed to  
tune the way you do on your best aural tunings.
