So now my tuner is back in service. One important fact to mentions is that I live in Germany. Believe you me, it is not easy so get any service from a company outside of Europe, so thumbs up for Peterson.
Thank you!

I use them on my 4 and 5 string, fretted and fretless bass guitars.
I find the tuning display un-intuitive and confusing. I usually tune the wrong way when there strange river of shapes is moving, so I often waste time. I've tried setting the intonation on my basses with it, but again, having to think which way is flat and which is sharp.
It would've been better to have some sign showing flat or sharp, as well as a cue that shows when the string is actually in tune.
Lucky for me I paid $25 a pop for these, had I paid full price I would have certainly returned the tuners, since the UI isn't doing it for me.
The tuner itself is robust, the display is bright, and it tracks low B strings well, the display choices by Peterson really ruin it for me, and often perplex fellow bandmates when they need to quickly borrow the tuner.

I opened an online support query, and the advisor was exemplary in his assistance. I am awaiting receipt of a replacement cover gratis

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I read a strobe display?
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.

Peterson Connect does not detect my StroboClip HD in Linux environment.
Chrome needs access to /dev/hidraw*, so either set "chmod a+rw /dev/hidraw*" or start chrome as root with the --no-sandbox option
*Some Ubuntu based distros do not allow running Chrome as root with the --no-sandbox option enabled. -Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180. You can however run Chromium as a normal user and invoke that option.
Some users have reprted a fix by adding a new udev rule as follows: KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2368", ATTRS{idProduct}=="*SEE BELOW"
* Some Peterson products operate in two different modes with individual product id's for firmware update operations. Multiple rules may need to be created. Here is the list of Peterson USB product ID's
idProduct =
Stomp Classic = 8002
StroboPLUS HD = 0003
StroboPLUS HD Firmware Mode = 8003
StroboClip HD = 8004
StroboStomp HD = 8005
StroboPLUS HDC = 0006
StroboPLUS HDC Firmware Mode = 8006
