Vox : VXT-1 STROBE PEDAL TUNER Vox

 

With a smooth LED meter and versatile display modes, the diamond visual display is extremely easy to read. The tuner features ultra-precise tuning with ±0.02 cent accuracy, offset tuning modes that let you tune your instrument for harmonious resonance, and a true bypass design that does not affect the tonal character in any way.

 

The VXT-1 is designed to meet the needs of the professional, with extended operation that allows 24 hours of continuous use when using alkaline batteries. The aluminum diecast body ensures outstanding durability, and a DC out allows parallel connection to other pedals. Although there are many pedal tuners, this unit stands at the peak, providing class-beating visibility and accuracy to all guitar and bass players.

 

Diamond visual meter provides large note name display and smooth meter movement for excellent visibility

This diamond visual meter exemplifies VOX’s first stomp tuner. The large and easily visible note name indicator together with a smooth LED meter make pitch discrepancies and pitch changes obvious at a glance. While stringent tuning requirements for accuracy within ±0.02 cents are difficult for previous LED meters (display mode: strobe), the diamond visual meter makes this possible.

 

You can switch the display mode between three types of display method as appropriate for the player’s style.

 

Simple. Accurate. Affordable.

Representing Vox's first foray into the world of pedal tuners, the VXT-1 Strobe Tuner hits the nail right on the head. It features the accuracy of a traditional strobe tuner without the steep price and bulky housing. It has a high-visibility diamond-shaped LED display with the note name displayed prominently in the center. It has an ultra-accurate display that can achieve a tuning accuracy of ±0.02 cents. This level of accuracy is equal to the accuracy of the original 12-wheel mechanical strobe tuner. You can choose between three main tuning modes — Strobe, Diamond, and Vertical — so you can tune in whatever way makes the most sense to you. The tuner also has a buffered DC output that enables it to power other pedals in your signal chain. The Vox VXT-1 is a stompbox-sized tuner that offers unbeatable accuracy that will keep you perfectly in tune every time you hit the stage.

 

Features:

 

Ultra-accurate Strobe mode

Traditional strobe tuners utilize mechanical wheels and flashing lights to display the pitch of your instrument. While it's incredibly accurate, it can get confusing quickly. The VXT-1's strobe mode operates on the same principles that a strobe tuner does, but it uses the smooth LED display to do so. The diamond-shaped meter rotates clockwise when your pitch is sharp, and counter-clockwise when you're flat. When the display stops moving, you're perfectly in tune. Strobe mode functions as a search-and-destroy for the smallest of pitch inaccuracies. For ultra-high-precision tuning, Sweetwater recommends that you use Strobe mode.

 

Traditional Diamond mode

In Diamond mode, The VXT-1 functions like a traditional pedalboard tuner. When the LED is at the left corner, that note is flat. If the LEDs make their way to the right corner, you've gone sharp. When the top angle is lit and the blue LED comes on, you're perfectly in tune.

 

Super simple Vertical mode

Vertical mode is similar to diamond mode. When the top half of the diamond is lit, you're sharp. When the bottom half is illuminated, you've gone flat. When you get the left and right angles of the diamond to light up and the blue LED comes on, your axe is in tune and ready to rock out.

 

Offset tuning modes

The VXT-1 tuner offers 10 offset tuning modes to tune to different scales. It allows harmonious resonances for your specific instrument. Offset tuning mode offers chromatic tuning, tuning for electric and acoustic guitars, and bass guitars. It also offers open tunings (D, E, G, and A) as well as DADGAD. For the most effective results, Vox recommends that you use the strobe display mode while tuning in Offset mode.
