I have a V-SAM too. It also has two user temperament spots. I have one set at G 6th comma mean tone and another at A 6th comma mean tone for Ren lutes. I believe the Violab is sound only where the V-sam can do meter or tone as well as metronome. It isn't perfect though.

If I am tuning a 10c lute where the top string is tuned to F (a' = 44hz) by adjusting the transposing knob down by 2 semitones the output will then appear 2 semitones higher and it appears that I am tuning a lute in G. The transposition setting remains until the tuner is turned off or the transposition is corrected.
