I just purchased the StoboStomp HD I already have the StroboStomp and Clip on, both of which I love. this one is exactly what one would expect from Peterson in terms of quality and utility with two issues. Otherwise, I'd have given it 5 stars.

Why did they use the power connector they did? Standards exist for a reason and the 9v coaxial Center Negative connector is the standard for pedal power. Good luck getting a cable for your pedal board multi-output power supply (if you use one) to power this one. It isn't even USB C.

I spent several decades in SIlicon Valley managing hardware and software design both analog and digital. I'd be suspicious of the market research that went into selecting this connector as a design specification and as a Design Manager, I wouldn't have let it through. As it was, I got lucky rummaging around through the old cable bag and found one that fit.

Also, the pre-cut velcro, while pretty, did not stick well at all. You could not move the pedal at all without it coming off of the pedal itself. I replaced it with real velcro and it now sticks to the board and pedal just fine. QA or design issue?

These however, while irritating, are not show stoppers. Functionally and from a versatility aspect, it does a more than admirable job.
