I have been a Peterson Strobe user since 1976, when my band acquired a Peterson 400. I still have it, and it works flawlessly! This is my third Stroboclip. I had one that failed due to being unprotected and cracked the screen. I lost the battery cover on the second, which Peterson replaced at no cost. Their customer service is top-notch! As for the new Stroboclip HDC, the first thing about it is IT'S RECHARGABLE! No more batteries! I play both 6 and 12-string acoustic guitars. There is a setting specifically for 12-string, which makes tuning a lot easier. The biggest problem is tuning the B strings, which are the main culprit in tuning a 12-string. The idea of the colored screens makes it adaptable in almost any situation. I still leave it on the default "orange" colored screen. I love tuning with this thing! I have become a tuning fanatic because of my experience with Peterson. It is so sensitive that it picks up the vibrations on my guitars from the PA speakers. It ca ...

I use this with my E9 10 string pedal steel and with my 6 string square neck dobro. I use the "sweetened" SE9 (open strings) and SP9 (pedals down) for the steel and the DBO for my dobro. I have them color coded so can easily tell I am in the one I want. Easy to see on stage. Easy to dial in the strings to tune. Like how easy it was to take all the other tunings off so I don't have to scroll through anything else. Great tuner.

STROBOCLIP HDC is probably the best clip tuner I've ever owned. Perfect control, quick tuning, great setting options via the app and the ability to add a large number of other tunings that can be downloaded for free, or create your own very precise tuning for any instrument, it's incredible. I was very pleased with the recharge. Peterson is a bit more expensive, but it's worth it and tunes perfectly. I can only recommend it.

I've been playing classical guitar as a hobby for 40 years. When I first started learning, I used a tuning fork, like many people in the past, without an electronic tuner. About 20 years later, when electronic tuners began to become widely available, I started using one myself. Tuning a classical guitar is so sensitive that even after tuning with an electronic tuner, I had to fine-tune it by ear.
Since then, I've used countless tuners over the years. I think I've owned at least four Korg tuners. I've lost them all, broken them, given them away, or thrown them away.
One day, I met a friend who had an older Petersen tuner. I was intrigued by it and bought it on Amazon. It was a clip-on HD model. The strobe display was a bit distracting at first, but I quickly got used to it, and I found it to be more precise than any other tuner I'd ever owned. Other tuners have a high tolerance, so I had to tune them with a tuner and then fine-tune them by ear. However, the Peterson tuner gave me a slig ...

This is a really nice addition to you're headstock it's almost like having an oscilloscope mounted on you're guitar the color changing display is definitely a plus too.

I've had the Stroboclip for a few years, and I love it. My guitars used to have good days and bad days. Now every day is a good day. I recommend the tuners to friends. I bought one for my brother when he got his Martin 0015m. A week ago, I noticed that the screw connecting the tuner to the clip arm had come loose and disappeared. I asked Peterson via the website whether they did spares. I had a reply within a couple of hours that they would send a replacement screw and locknut as soon as possible. It just arrived, free of charge. I might love Peterson tuners even more.

Other guitar makers always told me I should have a Peterson Autostrobe. I hesitated because they are expensive relative to other tuners. Having finally purchased one, I see the advantage of showing not just fundamentals but also harmonics.
Peterson employees really go above and beyond expectations. They actually return calls and answer emails. Peterson makes you proud to own their products.
