Ron, I've had a Peterson 490 ST. Don't go there. If anyone wants it I'll sell it for 50% off of new with case & pedal. I have a Verituner VT100. I can recommend it with one small reservation. I do not like the stock tuning on the VT. It is too FACish and that shows up around the breaks. I set up my own custom tuning on it that utilizes the interval checks that I use aurally by octave with the priority that I have for them. Its tunings match my aural tunings to a 'T'. It is available as a box or as software for a small computer. I'm waiting for the smartphone version to upgrade to. My old box is getting to the point where it needs a battery transplant. I don't know the others. I don't know if they can be programmed to tune the way you do on your best aural tunings.
