The Vox VXT-1 Strobe Pedal Tuner is a precision tuner pedal offering ±0.02 cent accuracy across three display modes: strobe, diamond, and vertical LED meter. It includes 10 tuning modes covering standard chromatic tuning plus dedicated modes for guitar, bass, and common open tunings (D, E, G, A, and DADGAD). Built in a durable aluminum diecast housing with true bypass, it mutes the input signal when engaged for silent on-stage tuning, and includes a DC out jack to daisy-chain power to other pedals.
