It adjusts for the pressure of the capo on the string. For the acoustic there is also a saved setting for when I use a capo for some of the songs. The electric is in 440 HZ to play along with backing tracks.
My acoustic, the mandolin, the 12 string, and electric all have their various settings saved. I also play mostly in 432 HZ tuning and it is nice to have this set as the default when I bring up the mandolin tuner setting for example. The 12 string was another joy and gave it a different sound as well. Having both strings dead on gave me a brighter sound and I could hear the difference compared to my previous tuner. This new tuner is a very well made and incredibly accurate tuner and it showed it's worth right away with the mandolin. Getting older and more difficult to tune the second mandolin string by ear due to ringing in my ears. Got fed up with the basic clip on tuners especially for the mandolin and 12 string guitar. It’s also in the supplied plastic bag in the meantime. I won’t remove the temporary plastic screen cover until then because I’m concerned about scratches as it shares room with other things in the compartment of my bass guitar case. So I’m on the hunt for a third-party case like a compact camera case. This case hard to find separately and shipping is way too expensive for those I’ve found online. Why not for this price? When folded to its smallest size, the screen is exposed and not protected. However, I wish it came with the case that Peterson makes specifically for this tuner. Other than that, it’s the only tuner I plan to use from now on because it picks up the low B on my 5-string bass fairly consistently, better than other clip-on tuners, and I don’t have to fuss with plugging a tuner into my line. I bought this because I wanted the strobe accuracy, which it definitely has, but I didn’t care to pay more for the Sweetened Tunings which I have no desire to use and perhaps never will.
