Fender’s new Strobo-Sonic Pro Tuner pedal uses strobe tuning for “ultra-precise” ±0.01 cent accuracy
Fender has expanded its lineup of utility pedals with the Strobo-Sonic – a new “ultra-precise” tuner pedal with ±0.01 cent accuracy.
Built for performing musicians and professionals, the Strobo-Sonic also features a large, high-visibility 2.3″ x 2.1″ LED display with auto brightness dimming for low-light environments, and operates in two modes, Strobe and Needle.

Strobe tuning is a tuning method by which a strobe light illuminates a pattern – often on a rotating disk, or a digital equivalent, as is the case with the Fender Strobo-Sonic Pro Tuner – which spins or moves at a rate corresponding to a specific pitch. The pattern appears to freeze when the string is perfectly in tune. It’s regarded as the most accurate way to tune a guitar.

The Strobo-Sonic also features a Needle mode, offering a more familiar tuning experience for many players.
It also sports convenient side switches offering deep control over reference pitch – this is adjustable between A = 430Hz and 450Hz – plus three bypass modes: true bypass, buffered bypass and buffered always-on.
The Strobo-Sonic also occupies a pedalboard-friendly form factor, measuring 115mm x 66mm x 44mm and weighing just half a pound.
“Made for the stage, the pedalboard-friendly tuner offers a high-visibility display, two easily trackable tuning display modes, and accessible side switches for deeper control – perfect for players of all skill levels,” says Fender.
The Strobo-Sonic Pro Tuner is available now, priced at $129.99 / £95. For more info, head to Fender.
