I'm a big fan of these tuners, using them on both my electrics and acoustic exclusively. I've tried other clip-ons and always came back. I started with the metal cased Stroboclip around 2012, then moved to the 2nd generation HD, which after 9 years just recently quit working (worn out power button). First impressions of the HDC is that it seems to be more sensitive, picking up the low D on my HD28 tuned a whole step down much more accurately. The brighter screen and larger tuner display change is a welcome addition, and it'll definitely be nice not having to stock up on batteries. Hoping I get many years from this one as well.

Been great so far. Very accurate. Used it on my gigs this past weekend and loved it. Very visible.

Having used clip-on and stand-alone tuners for the past 30+ years of playing guitar and bass guitar (along with other instruments) I found the Peterson StroboStomp HD totally by accident while looking at effects pedals. What a find!!!
Not only do I now have my intonation and tuning truly sorted on my electric instruments, but in a live environment I know my guitars and basses are absolutely spot on. Drawing looks and questions from other musicians I work with ("a strobe tuner on a pedal-board? Why do you need that?") fellow musicians soon change their tune (no pun intended) when they see how quickly, easily and accurately I tune between songs!
This "simple' piece of kit has changed mid-set tuning and instrument prep to be a pleasure, rather than a necessity.

Works really well as an always-on device, which is exactly what I was looking for. The warranty registration process was a bit clunky, but I eventually got it completed. The instruction sheet was also somewhat difficult to follow at first.
Once registration was done, connecting the device to the web interface using the included USB cable worked very smoothly and ended up being much easier than the usual “press this while holding that” setup process.
Since the device offers a lot of features, some setup complexity is probably unavoidable. For my use, the difference between EQU and the Bass Sweetener tuning was pretty subtle, so I’ve mostly left it on EQU for general playing.
One unexpected note: I actually found AI explanations more helpful than the included instructions when learning how everything worked. Not necessarily a dealbreaker—just part of modern technology these days.

Peterson has taken all the best features of a table top Strobe tuner and put it together with a great clip on tuner.

Peterson Stobo Tuners are the best! Had a Conn strobe tuner for years and was holding it together with duct tape and a prayer. Peterson does all that and more invaluable tool for all musicians.

I managed to lose the rubber covering of the small pivot pad and was quickly sent a replacement free of charge. Very good product and very good after sales service.
