If you’ve ever battled dark stages, noisy venues, or “close enough” tuning that still sounds slightly off in a full band mix, the Fender Strobo-Sonic Pro™ is built for you. It’s an ultra-precise strobe tuner designed to be ridiculously accurate while still being easy to read and easy to use—whether you’re a beginner or a tech doing quick setups between songs.
With an astonishing ±0.01 cent accuracy in strobe mode, it’s the kind of tuning precision that makes chords ring sweeter, intonation checks faster, and alternate tunings far less stressful.
Two Display Modes: Choose Your Comfort Zone
The Strobo-Sonic Pro gives you two ways to tune, depending on the gig and your preference:
-
Strobe Mode: Hyper-sensitive and ideal for players who want the tightest possible tuning (great for setup work and picky ears).
-
Needle Mode: Familiar, fast, and perfect for quick on-stage checks when you just want to get back to playing.
Switching between modes is simple—so you can use needle for speed, and strobe for “dialled-in” precision.
Built for Real Stages (Not Just Bedrooms)
A tuner can be the best in the world, but if you can’t see it mid-set, what’s the point? Fender nailed the live-use details here:
-
Large 2.3" x 2.1" LED display that’s easy to read at a glance
-
Auto brightness dimming via ambient light sensing—clear in sunlight, comfortable under harsh stage LEDs
-
Top-mounted jacks to save precious pedalboard space and keep cable runs tidy
-
Road-ready aluminum enclosure built to survive the gigging life
“Bypass Your Way”: 3 Modes to Suit Any Rig
Every board is different, so Fender included flexible switching:
-
True bypass
-
Buffered bypass
-
Always-on monitor mode (with footswitch muting)
That means you can run it like a traditional stomp-to-mute tuner, or keep the tuner active as a constant monitor—handy for players who want to keep an eye on tuning stability throughout a set.
Reference Pitch Control for Bands, Keys, and Studio Work
Need to match a piano, a fixed-pitch instrument, or a slightly off “house tuning”? You can adjust reference pitch from A=430Hz to 450Hz, using the side controls.
