Is this the Newman or Emmons sweetened tuning?

I just took a look on the Peterson site. They have a link on the left side of your configuration screen called "User Trading Post" I found quite a few shared tunings.
Thanks for the info. Excellent stuff.

The MA9 tuning is a modified 440 Es based sweetener.
Major 3rd interval beats are minimized on many triads using strings 2 and 7. A compensator on the A pedal, lowering 1/7 to -13 further enhances the tuning as well...Glad you guys like it!...

Can't find the MA9 tuning on the Peterson website. Where is it located?

Check this link. If you scroll down a bit there is a section for Steel Guitar sweeteners. You will find it there.

I found it, but cannot download it to my tuner although registered and logged in. as soon as I press the download button it says i must register...what am I doing wrong?

Norbert Dengler · Post by **Norbert Dengler** » 27 Dec 2018 12:17 pm

I tried again, it seems to work now

Norbert Dengler · Post by **Norbert Dengler** » 27 Dec 2018 1:28 pm

great so far, don't you need 2 settings? 1 for open strings and 1 for pedals?

I have been thinking about getting a Peterson. However, I just found out that Lloyd Green never has, and still does not use a tuner. I’m still reeling.....

Mickey Adams · Post by **Mickey Adams** » 27 Dec 2018 6:46 pm

Norbert, all of the offsets for levers and pedals are there, no need for a separate setting

Norbert Dengler · Post by **Norbert Dengler** » 28 Dec 2018 10:04 am

thank you Mickey, much appreciated and regards from Germany.

Are these settings for only the Peterson tuner or will they work on other tuners? Also, is there a copy in document format? Thanks.

That’s why there are Peterson tuners, and no Lloyd Green tuners.

Could someone please post the calibration numbers for Jody Cameronâ€™s tuning?

Not everyone is a Peterson Plus user, and it would be educational to see how low or high the thirds are, along with everything else.

Even Peterson users may want to try specific variations to their own tuning...before blindly re-intonating their entire instrument to a preset.

PS. Special thanks to Jody for sharing his tuning. Was this for Push Pull or All Pull? Cabinet drop can be quite different between these two changer types.

What John Goux requested...ditto.

I called Jody about 10 minutes after getting this added to my Stroborack, to tell him how much I liked it... It was just about instant... great preset Mickey, just wish it was easier to get into the Stroborack.... I’ll try loading it into my StroboPlus, but don’t think “U-Connect” works on Mac.

Id also like this in document form if anyone has it
Cant afford Peterson tuners but I use cleartune on my phone which allows you to program tuning offsets
I use SE9 tuning which works well but would like to try others

Richard Sinkler · Post by **Richard Sinkler** » 4 Jan 2019 5:55 am

I'd also like to see the offsets. I have a Stroboflip, and it doesn't support downloads.

Dick Wood · Post by **Dick Wood** » 4 Jan 2019 10:27 am

Could some of you brainiacs explain how to load it into the Stobeplus HD? I tried it and it looked like it saved it but I can't find it when I scroll through the settings.

Norbert Dengler · Post by **Norbert Dengler** » 4 Jan 2019 12:00 pm
