Getting Started / Basic Use

Your new StroboVUE pedaboard tuner can be powered by either a regulated 9V DC power supply or USB bus power via the USB-C jack.

WARNING: USING A WALL TRANSFORMER WITH THE INCORRECT POLARITY OR VOLTAGE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE TUNER!!

For normal operation, the tuner can be used out of the box; no special adjustment is needed. After supplying power to the tuner, simply activate the StroboVUE by inserting an instrument cable into the input jack of the tuner located on the top, right-hand side. The output jack located on the top, left-hand side of the tuner can be used to connect the tuner to the input of an amplifier or another effects pedal.

The note being tuned appears in the center part of the screen. The strobe bands scroll counter-clockwise ( left ) if your instrument is flat of the displayed note and clockwise ( right ) if your instrument is sharp of the displayed note. When the image is stabilized or “caged”, your instrument is in tune to 0.1 cent accuracy (1/10th of one cent) of the displayed note.                                                                          

Strobe Newbie?

If you are new to strobe tuners, you will notice that they are much more sensitive and accurate than your previous tuners. It’s OK if the strobe image doesn’t completely stop. It may shift slightly due to the ‘real-time’ feedback of a strobe tuner. For stringed instruments, it helps to use your finger or thumb to gently pluck the string instead of a plectrum.

NOTE: Unlike previous Peterson pedalboard tuners, the StroboVUE is designed as an always-on tuning monitor. It does not include a mute function, true bypass option, or the ability to turn the display off. The tuner features a buffered output at all times.
