The BEST and LAST tuner you will ever need!

GREAT strobe tuner, deserves to be on any board, bag, or bench. 5 star rating and LOTS of sweetened tunings!

- John

Overview

Featuring the largest tuning display Peterson Tuners has ever incorporated into one of their pedal tuners, the StroboStomp HD boasts a high-definition, LCD screen that incorporates a variable color LED backlight. The user-selectable colors can be used to personalize the tuner or to increase display viewing quality in different levels of ambient lighting depending on the usage environment. The vibrant screen colors can also be assigned to stock or user presets to significantly reduce menu navigation time and increase on-stage tuning confidence at the gig.

For tone purists, the StroboStomp HD provides a 100% silent, true-bypass operation mode to keep precious tone safe, as well as eliminate the often annoying “pop” experienced when engaging such a feature in other products. It uses a unique series of timed relays incorporated within its circuitry to shunt the signal, draining the cause of the popping sound prior to breaking the connection, and effectively shutting the tuner down for direct play through without affecting tone quality.

The StroboStomp HD also includes a long-time, user-requested buffered output operation mode that can be user engaged. The buffered mode can be used in or out of monitor mode. It is designed to boost instrument drive to overcome potential tone loss in signal chains that incorporate multiple low-impedance guitar pedals or those that utilize long cable runs. The buffered output modes preserve sonic quality all through the instrument range and keep prized core tone intact.

The StroboStomp HD features over 100 exclusive Sweetened Tunings™ as well as numbered guided tuning presets for a large variety of instruments and playing styles. Sweetened Tunings are exclusive to Peterson tuning products and are designed to help correct inherent tuning issues exhibited by many instruments. The new "Guided Tunings" mode allows the StroboStomp HD to display numeric string values instead of traditional note names making for sure-fire intuitive and rapid re-tuning to any number of open and alternative tunings. The Guided Tuning mode was instituted for beginners who want to experiment with popular alternate tunings in addition to experienced players who employ multiple tunings in rapid succession. Numerically expressed scales are also included.

Pure Buffer Mode Operation

Does your love for effect-driven musical chaos require a massive pedal board? Need that XL cable for jumping off the stack during your face melting solo?

No problem.

The StroboStomp HD features a PURE buffer mode to preserve the sonic clarity of your axe while enabling you to run a collection of pedals and long cable lengths without compromise.

100% Pop-less True Bypass

We've redesigned and greatly improved the way incoming signal was handled in true-bypass mode to deliver a perfectly silent experience when muting your signal.

A dual relay circuit effectively bleeds out any incoming signal before powering the tuner down resulting in a silent transition without affecting tone quality.

We All See Color Differently

The LCD display on the StroboStomp HD is easy to see in bright lighting conditions but the LED backlight color is user-adjustable to suit your particular viewing preference.

Globally change the display color for all functions or choose to associate colors with specific tunings for easy and quick identification at the gig.

Create custom colors on Peterson Connect or use any of the 10 preset colors to organize your preset tuning list.

Can We Go Outside and Play Now?

The multi-color display on the StroboStomp HD is easy to see - even in direct sunlight!

The strobe image and note name appear monochromatic in direct sunlight making it very easy to view what is going on with your tuning when playing outdoors.

Tune confidently with the largest strobe and note name pattern ever designed into a pedal tuner.

Easy Access to Performance Modes

You can quickly toggle between 3 unique performance modes with the StroboStomp HD.

Select true bypass mode, buffered output mode, or monitor mode (tuning always visible) by setting the mode switch located in the battery box.

No bottom plate to remove or dip switches to select!

You Have The Power

Power other 9v pedals on your board with the power throughput jack on the StroboStomp HD.

With a standard 85mA current draw (typical), you can confidently power additional effects in your rig using standard 9v power supplies.

Lots of effects? Most daisy-chain power supplies max out at 8 outlets. The StroboStomp HD's dedicated power out jack can be used for a 9th pedal!

Available Sweetened Tunings ( 135 )

Default

EQU

Standard tuning temperament suitable for regular or alternate tuning, 100 cent intervals - no Sweetening.

Guitar & Bass

GTR

Designed for use with guitars tuned to standard EADGBE. The strings are adjusted to allow for deflection by varying amounts according to the gauge of the string in each case. This improves and helps counter the often problematic “unwound 3rd string” problem on short scale electric guitars such as Les Pauls and the three saddle compromise on Telecasters.

ACU

Designed for use with acoustic guitars tuned to standard EADGBE. The strings are adjusted to allow for deflection by varying amounts according to the gauge of the string in each case. The guitar is sweetened in the same way as if tuned by the ear of an experienced musician such as James Taylor who uses these settings.

dBO

Compensates by making the thirds pure. This makes the sweetest sound, especially with long sustained chords where not using a Sweetener can grate on the ears due to an Equally Tempered third.

dBH

Major thirds in all three tunings are lowered slightly from Equal temperament, but not entirely beatless. This Sweetener is useful in band settings where instruments with fixed intonation are present.

FDL

Perfect 5th intervals for 4 and 5 string fiddle.

bJO

Counters the typical sharp B string which is encountered when tuning a 5-string banjo without compensation with an ordinary tuner. The B is sweetened in the same way as a banjo tuned by the ear of an experienced musician.

TbO

Compensates for string deflection taking into account the different scale length and lower pitched tuning for 4 string tenor banjo.

MAN

This sweetener was developed for the mandolin, mandola and mandocello. Using it will result in perfectly tuned and voiced unison string pairs. Detuning in instruments with multiple string courses, as opposed to single strings, is much less pleasing to even the most untrained ear because both chords and melody lines are affected. The MAN setting can be used for 8-string mandolins, including Gibson Styles A and F as well as the Weber A and F series.

Misc. Stringed

UKE

The UKE Sweetener is designed for use with Concert type ukulele. UKE uses cent offsets to allow for the typical string deflection which is encountered when playing the instrument and takes scale length and intervals into account.. The tuning is sweetened in the same way as a ukulele tuned by the ear of an experienced musician.

Orchestral

VLN

Open strings tuned in perfect fifth intervals. Both four (GDAE) and five string (CGDAE) violins are catered for within this one tuning preset.

ZERO LUCK WITH VELCRO

By Daniel Willen on Sunday, May 31, 2020

Reviewed on

Peterson Website

The tuner itself is great and it'll never leave my pedalboard, but I don't know what the designers were thinking with the rubber pieces on the back. Tried everything to get velcro to stick including the alcohol cleaning method that was recommended on the website but had no luck. I friend of mine suggested 3m dual lock tape but that still slid off. Had to tear the rubber off and go directly to the metal.

This is an excellent tuner. It seems expensive compared to other tuner pedals but when digging beneath the surface you understand that for all the options this is good value. Sweetened tunings are great but just wish it was easier to find and work with guided tunings that i know are there but can't seem to access. Only reason it's not a 5 star review.

Frequently Asked Questions

View StroboStomp HD video instruction manual.

What power supplies can be used with my Peterson Pedal Tuner? ( StroboStomp 1 & 2, Stomp Classic & StroboStomp HD )

9VDC - Regulated - Center negative - At least 85mA

Partial list of regulated power supplies:

Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 (Eight isolated 9VDC 100mA regulated outputs)
Dunlop DCB-10 DC Brick (10 outputs)
Visual Sound 1-Spot (9V fully regulated output)
Carl Martin Big John 9v Power Supply (Seven 9VDC outputs 600mA total)
Sanyo Pedal Juice
T-Rex Fuel Tank
Godlyke PA9 Power All (9V 800mA regulated output)
Boss PSA120 adapter (9V 200mA regulated)

DO NOT use the Boss ACA120 Unregulated power supply! Boss ACA, Danelectro DA1, RadioShack, etc., do not have a voltage regulator and are not suitable.

As always with any pedal, be careful - check voltage (9V or 12VDC regulated) & polarity (positive barrel-negative inner sleeve) first and don't overload the power supply's ampere rating by daisy chaining too many pedals from a single supply.

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 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.

Is the accuracy the same for all Peterson tuners?

Yes, the accuracy is within 0.1 cents (1/1000 of one semitone) as with all Peterson Strobe Tuners. An important thing to note is that Peterson Strobe Tuners have ultra high definition displays, so not only are they highly accurate in detecting a note but they have the ability to display that accuracy. Other products claim accuracy but do not have the high definition screen to display the level of accuracy in which they claim. If you cannot see the accuracy, it is of little value. Only Peterson provides High Definition Strobe Tuning.

What is a Guided Tuning?

Guided Tuning is a new feature in tuners, it allows the user to tune to specified tunings, be they dropped, open, alternative etc. without having to know the correct note names. The tuner replaces the note name with a string number which the user simply uses as a guide while adjusting the pitch of the string so that the string number displayed on the tuner matches the string number being plucked.

The result is an accurately tuned guitar tuned to the required alternative tuning.

Using Peterson Guided Tuning, it is not only possible to try out new tunings without any other reference whatsoever, it is also entirely possible for someone with no previous musical experience at all to consistently, accurately and easily tune a 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9-string guitar to any tuning.
