I first tuned with another clip on and thought it was in tune. Then I tuned with this and got so much better sound. Tuning a Gretsch is sometimes hit or miss. I got many more hits than misses with the StroboClip HDC on. The StroboStomp HD is even better. I now keep this on my acoustics and the other on my pedal board.

They finally have it perfect. Easy to use, easy to see. The clip will not mar a headstock no matter how many times you attach and remove it. It even fits the very thick classical guitar headstocks with ease. My other tuners are unused and relegated to the dust bin.
Can't wait to see how they improve on this.

Plays 6-String Electric Guitar, 6-String Acoustic Guitar, 4 String Bass
I've played professionally for over 30 years, predominantly on guitar, occasionally bass. Over the course of that time I've tried numerous tuners, be it clip-on, or pedal based.
I have NEVER.... EVER had such fantastic results as with the StroboClip HD..... and then subsequently the StroboClip HDC.
It was an accident..... I was watching a YouTube video on how James Taylor tunes his guitar..... which led to strobe tuning....... which led to here.
SWEETENED GUITAR gives me perfect tuning for live performance REGARDLESS of what key I'm playing in. No more of that IN TUNE IN G.... OUT OF TUNE IN D.... nonsense that I used to get.
I cannot rate this product highly enough. It has completely changed my gigging experience for the better. Expensive? Maybe..... but worth EVERY PENNY without a shadow of a doubt in my mind.
The ONLY thing better than the tuning has been the aftercare from Peterson. I lost the battery locking compartment on my HD.... they sent a replacement... I had a mild i ...

Plays 5-String Banjo
I spent a couple of hours with the SCHDC after receiving it today, the first paper instructions I actually needed to read in a long time. In the end, I think I got it to work as it should but I still need to use it for a while to provide a more truthful evaluation. So, if you don't want to publish this yet, no objection. But there are a few things I want to share:
1. The instructions re charging are confusing. It says that when it's plugged in, the battery icon will come on. Not true in my case: nothing happened. The battery icon only comes on when I turn the tuner on.
2. In your chapter on banjo, you list the standard tuning for the 4th string of the 5-string banjo as being C3. In all of my semi-professional playing of 55 years, I have yet to come across someone who tunes that way as a standard. The standard for everyone is the open G tuning with the 4th string tuned to D3. I guess that is because Earl Scruggs had it that way.
As a matter of fact, this C3 is probably a typo, because i ...

Peterson is the gold standard of electronic tuning. The Stroboclip HDC is an exceptional tuner. The color coding option adds another dimension.

I have all 3 versions of the Peterson clip-on tuner, and a Strobostomp HD, and the Strobosoft app for PC.
I have clearly drunk the Kool-Aide.
These gizmos are built better than any comparable tool.

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.
