GOT BASS CHOPS?

With rock-solid tracking down to 16Hz, tuning that low B will never be a problem.

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.

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.

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.

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 precise. They require very fine 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.
