Fox, the Peterson is a well-regarded tuner, but don't buy the Peterson just to get the Sweetened™ tunings. The James Taylor/ACU/SBJ preset is a compromise tuning for use with a capo that flattens the strings from 3 to 12 cents. With open strings, it is abysmal. I can't understand how some players find it to be good, because it's not a subtle difference.

I favor the Unitune clip-on and the Airyware phone app.

Good luck.
