If my Strobostomp broke (for whatever reason) i would not hesitate to buy another. The tuning accuracy makes intonation and everyday playing SO much more enjoyable. I couldn't figure out why my guitars sounded so awful when i was using a BOSS TU-2 pedal tuner. It turns out their intonation was out and they just weren't in tune.
The other guitarist in my cover band has the same issue - the TU2 is really not very accurate. The TU-12 is better (I used one for years, as well as the DTR-1) but the Peterson really makes a huge difference. I like the "sweetened" tunings, too, and having the BFTS offsets so I can do my own intonation on my Washburn is awesome...
