A tuner is undoubtedly a fundamental part of every guitar or bass player's musical arsenal. The RockBoard StageTuner ST-02 delivers precise tuning to satisfy all requirements and lends itself primarily to use in rack systems courtesy of its 19" format. The easy-to-read LED display is bright without being dazzling, and is also clearly visible from a distance. In addition to a standard mode, the RockBoard StageTuner ST-02 also features a strobe mode, which employs flashing LEDs to provide even greater legibility, and a tuning range of eight octaves, which is capable of tuning practically any guitar or bass, no matter how low or high the corresponding string needs to be tuned. The StageTuner ST-02 is delivered with two rack-mounting adapters and the eight M4 screws required for installation.
La tessiture du StageTuner ST-02 est énorme, du Si 1 (15,44Hz) jusqu’au Do 8 (4186Hz), au centième près. Le son de référence peut aussi être calibré, de 432Hz à 445Hz. Il y a deux prises jack pour la connexion de l’instrument, l’une à l’avant et l’autre à l’arrière de l’appareil. C’est là aussi que l’on trouve la prise de sortie. Le StageTuner ST-02 peut être installé en permanence dans le chemin du signal sans aucune dégradation du son grâce à sa fonction « true bypass ». On peut couper complètement le son afin de ne déranger ni le public ni les autres musiciens durant la phase d’accordage.
The Rockboard StageTuner ST-02's 19" rack format alone highlights the fact that it is aimed at professional users who are looking for an extremely responsive, precise, and easy-to-read tuner for their rack system. The ST-02 is more than a match for these requirements, providing excellent visibility in even the darkest of rehearsal rooms or on dimly lit stages with its huge and highly luminous display – a feature that is further enhanced by the inclusion of strobe mode, which uses flashing arrows for even greater legibility. Incidentally, owners of RockBoard pedalboards will not need a rack to integrate the ST-02 into their systems, as the (optionally available) RockBoard QuickMounts provide a stable means of securing the tuner to one of the many RockBoard pedalboards.
RockBoard is a brand belonging to Warwick Music Distribution GmbH, which is based in Markneukirchen in Germany's Vogtland region. RockBoard's range focuses on pedalboards, which are available in numerous different designs to suit any application and budget, and are complemented by an extensive range of pedalboard accessories, from slick patchbays for expanding the boards and high-quality patch cables for loss-free connection through to high-performance power adapters and the "QuickMount system" for rapid effect changes. In short, RockBoard offers virtually everything that players need to easily set up their own individual pedalboard.
Whether they are integrating it into a rack system or one of the manufacturer's pedalboards, the RockBoard StageTuner ST-02’s extensive tuning range, high accuracy of +/-1 cent, and two tuning modes promise musicians precise tuning every time. Good legibility, even under difficult conditions, is key for many guitarists and bassists, who will definitely appreciate the RockBoard ST-02's large display and additional strobe mode for lightning-fast tuning. The rack adapters included in the scope of delivery also enable the seamless integration of the RockBoard StageTuner ST-02 into any rack, where its true bypass switching means it can be permanently incorporated into the signal chain.
