The strobostomp worked great on all my 6 str. but made the 12 sound like hell.
Granted its a "special need" case, 12st tuned to open f: C,A,F,C,F,C, from 1 rst to 6th..
what preset should I use? (I'm recording live real soon)
thanks,
Gigging Bertrand
PS: my other stage 12 is in standard, one whole step down..
BTW, can you feitenize an acoustic 12?

If it didn't tune well with the StroboStomp, its likely that the combination of the guitars action, the tuning and the string gauge makes it incompatible with Equal temperament, which will result in the same thing with any tuner.
If I get a chance, I will try out your open F on my Guild 12 string and see what the problems are with that tuning.

Yes, the Buzz Feiten Co. have a system for 12 string guitars (there also a 12 string Buzz Feiten preset in the StroboStomp).
