Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The Planet Waves Tru-Strobe is a pedal-format tuner using strobe tuning technology, a method that reads pitch through a rotating visual pattern rather than a simple needle or LED display, delivering significantly higher tuning accuracy than standard chromatic tuners. Planet Waves, D'Addario's accessory brand, built the Tru-Strobe for players who want studio-grade tuning precision in a pedalboard-friendly stompbox format, appealing especially to players with a discerning ear for intonation or those recording where even slight tuning imprecision is noticeable. Strobe tuners are generally regarded as the gold standard for tuning accuracy among working musicians and technicians alike.

The TC Electronic Wiretap Riff Recorder is a compact pedal-format audio recorder, letting guitarists instantly capture riffs, ideas, and practice sessions directly from their signal chain without needing a separate recording device or smartphone. Built into a pedalboard-friendly enclosure, it addresses the common problem of losing spontaneous musical ideas by making capture instant and effortless.
