HDC For My Folding Guitar
I've been using Peterson Tuners for over a decade. They're the absolute best, most accurate tuners available. I recently purchased a StroboClip HDC tuner for my Ciari Ascender folding electric guitar so I could top-off quickly after unfolding it. The HDC tuner is amazing as is how well the Ascender stays in tune after folding and unfolding it. I really like the sweetened tuning feature on the tune ...

I have been using Snark and Super Snark clip on tuners for years and just never liked the accuracy of them. My guitars whether Martin, Taylor or Gibson NEVER sounded just right and it was very frustrating. I hesitated spending 79 dollars for the Strobo HDC, but after doing so, I don't think I've EVER spent dollars for a more amazing tuner. I would gladly do it again and recommend your tuner to all my friends. All said, my new tuner is PERFECT! Great job, Peterson!

Small, compact, accurate and easy to read under any lighting condition. Crystal clear readout and the navigation/menus for the various parameters is well thought out and intuitive to use.
The rechargeable battery sold me. I don't like batteries for things like tuners as it's always my luck that they fail at the worst time (on stage). I have had to use Peterson Customer Service on a recent occasion for my Stomp Box tuner and they were absolutely stellar. They were fast and went the extra mile to help me out. That is huge for me, and I would recommend any Peterson product for that reason alone.

Not only is the tuner easy to use and well designed - the product support is genuinely first class.
I've been using Peterson tuners for more than twenty years - and I will use them for the next twenty years too.

Fantastic little tuner. Holds a charge for a long time, easy to read. Not sure if changing the display color is useful, but it’s certainly fun! For some reason the QR code didn’t take me directly to the very easy to follow video instructions, but once I found those it was easy to understand how to operate it. Very happy I replaced my tuner with this one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my StroboClip HDC require calibration?
Generally, your StroboClip HDC 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.

How long do I need to charge my StroboClip HDC if the battery dies?
Your StroboClip HDC will give roughly 5 minutes of tuning time after a 1 minute charge.
10 minutes of charging will give roughly 1.5 hours of tuning time.
45 minutes of charging should fully charge the StroboClip HDC and allow up to 6 hours of tuning time.

What is the battery life of StroboClip HDC?
The StroboClip HDC should operate for roughly 6 hours of tuning time, dependent upon color choice and brightness.
The colors red, green, and blue use only one LED driver and therefore require less power allowing for longer use before depleting the battery.
White uses all three LED drivers at full power, using the most amount of battery power and will reduce the amount of tuning time available.
Brightness values will also affect the battery life. Brightness may be set via the Configuration Tool in Peterson Connect.

My StroboClip HDC is charged but will not turn on. What do I do?
If your StroboClip HDC is non responsive to the Power/m\Menu Button, and it is confirmed that the battery is charged, please use the Reset Button located on the rear of the tuner.
To activate the Reset Button, insert a pin or straightened paper clip into the hole in the back of the tuner. You will feel a slight depression and click of the Reset Button. Hold the Reset Button in the depressed state for 3 seconds then release.
Your Power/Menu Button should now function normally.
