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.

Works excellently. I have to say when I took it out of the box (nice presentation by the way - like an Apple product) I was happily impressed by the solid heft of the StroboVUE. It feels like something that will last a lifetime. Great design!

Finally I can properly tune my gear by knowing what octave I am in. Thank you Peterson.

This tuner exceeds all expectations.
Sharp, quick, and articulate.
Being able to match the display color to match the rest of my board was a cool bonus, but really what this does for me is step my game up to a major league level of pinpoint accuracy so that my team can count on me to provide the reliable backbone they need.

The StroboVUE with the TP-3 Clip-On Pickup is exactly what I have been waiting for in my shop. It now has a dedicated home on a bench, as it checks all the right boxes: Accuracy, Instantly Responsive, Small Form Factor, and is so Easy to Read. Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't want to be without my half-dozen or so StroboClip HD and HDC tuners. But the StroboVUE has become a must-have fixture in my shop. Thanks for another great product, Peterson!

Thumbs up for this well thought out tuning solution! I have the StroboVUE device that is easy to read and interpret. It is super-fast in displaying my pitch as there is no weird lag compared with other pedal tuners or headstock tuners I've used. The display is plenty big enough to show any motion indicating sharp or flat and to show the code of the mode you're in. Some words on the display are tiny and are not viewable from a floor pedal position, but you would probably have the unit up on a desk if you were adjusting settings, so it's not a big deal. The customizable colors will make switching between different tunings a snap. (Think: switching between instruments like a 6-string guitar, bass, lap steel, 7-string when they're color-coded.)
My only hiccups were:
a) When I first tried to use the USB connection to see if there were any updates at the Peterson support web page, I used an unsupported browser. My tuner was not recognized. Switching to Microsoft Edge did the tric ...

Great tuner. I was concerned the always on of the StroboVue might get annoying, but it doesn’t.
As far as tuning goes, it’s the most accurate tuner I’ve ever used, and easiest for intonation. My instruments are as accurate as they have ever been now.
