Sorry, wanted to like this but:

1. Tuning sensitivity better with the built in phone mike in quiet situations and considerably better using a stroboclip in noisy ones.

2. Cord is actually far too long and thick. All I need is a little more than distance from music stand to bridge of my bass. Excess is a heavy dangling mess that increases risk of tumbling my phone off the stand. Why would you want to be moving around while tuning?

Very helpful when using Peterson iStroboSoft iPhone Tuner app - provides strong, steady guitar input in quiet and noisy environments. My phone has a headphone/mic jack so no other adapter is needed. Great addition..!

The Pitch Grabber Mobile Tuning Clip gives me the ability to tune on stage from my Peterson iStroboSoft app quickly and easily in loud club atmosphere. I always have my phone with me at gigs, but have been known to forget or lose a clip on tuner. The accuracy is bar none. Customer support is amazing. I am a Peterson customer for life!!!!!

How do I read a strobe display?

Basically, the strobe image appears to travel to the left if your instrument is flat of the desired pitch and to the right if it is sharp. On earlier models such as the StroboStomp 1, StroboStomp 2, VS-1, VS-II and V-SAM, the strobe image travels upward if your instrument is sharp and downward if your instrument is flat of the desired pitch.

Adjust your instrument until the pattern is as close to still as possible. Strobe displays are 'real-time' and extremely high definition. They require very precise tuning adjustments to stop the display because the frequency/pitch of any instrument is never totally stable.

You'll quickly learn to read the display, make the most precise adjustments and appreciate the high resolution that only a Peterson provides.

Is the accuracy the same for all Peterson tuners?

Yes, the accuracy is within 0.1 cents (1/1000 of one semitone) as with all Peterson Strobe Tuners. An important thing to note is that Peterson Strobe Tuners have ultra high definition displays, so not only are they highly accurate in detecting a note but they have the ability to display that accuracy. Other products claim accuracy but do not have the high definition screen to display the level of accuracy in which they claim. If you cannot see the accuracy, it is of little value. Only Peterson provides High Definition Strobe Tuning.

Does my tuner require calibration?

Generally, your tuner will not require calibration and should remain perfectly accurate if it has not been damaged.

Unlike more modern Peterson strobes, legacy models such as the Peterson 400, 420, 450 and 700 do require occasional calibration.

If you require service, please open a support ticket and return the tuner for repair.

What is my tuner’s Sweetened Tunings feature all about?

A Sweetener is a set of cent offsets or a deviation from generic Equal Temperament interval spacing traditionally used in tuning. Tuners made by Peterson, including the , contain many choices of “Sweetness“, in other words, several presets with differing interval spacing relevant to the instrument being tuned. If you’ve never been happy with how your instrument tunes up with your present tuner, a Sweetener could be just the thing to change that without any modifications whatsoever. The offers unique and very accurate “tweaks” which often make all the difference, try it!
