The strobostomp is the only tuner I’ve used in five years. No issues. Makes intonation as close to perfect as you can get it, provided your frets are levels and have a good nut. A must for any professional musician with ANY string instrument. I’m not even in the market for one, but I’m watching this video anyway because I love my Peterson🤣
I've been using Peterson strobe tuners for almost 20 years - first one I got was a Peterson VS-II and immediately fell in love with the GTR Sweetened tuning. Our acoustic rhythm guitarist was skeptical when I started using it and thought it was overkill (he was using the old Boss TU style;) he used it once and was so blown away that every rehearsal and performance he would come over and beg to use the Peterson - to the point I finally said, "Dude! Get your own!" I still use an old blue Strobostomp on stage but am planning on getting an HD as the visibility looks so much better - only downside to my old VS-S Stomp style is the contrast on the screen is not very sharp.
Love mine. “Tuners are a dull subject” until you’re out of tune, and then they become more appealing. Enjoyed the review. Wouldn’t trade my Peterson tuner for anything at this point.
Yeah I grabbed the stroboclip HD and it blew every other tuner I had amassed trying to get something decent. It was so good I went and grabbed a strobostomp HD and the stroboclip is exactly as accurate. Being in proper tune is the difference between sounding good and sounding professional.
It's one thing to dominate a niche industry, but... to do it for decades of unchallenged supremacy is something else. At pretty much any point in modern music history, ask any tech or engineer best tuner you can get.... Peterson strobe tuner is the answer. 1960's What is the best tuner you can get? Peterson Strobe 1970s Whats the best tuner you can get? Peterson Strobe 1980's What's the best tuner you can get? Peterson Strobe 1990's Whats the best tuner you can get? Peterson Strobe 2000's What's the best tuner you can get? Peterson Strobe you get the idea.That's a helluva long time to maintain a 'best' reputation. Also, next Peterson product review.... may I suggest a Spaceballs reference? Stroboclip HD had the Ghostbusters 2 deep cut, well played, here you go to Bob and Doug.... Rick Moranis emerges as the common thread, so.... Spaceballs next? Review the Stroboclip HDC, Peterson, hook him up, I want to know if it's worth the extra $30 above the HD price... I am like you. I like good quality gear and got tired of screwing around with garbage gear long ago. I lost a Korg tuner I really liked, I could replace with the same thing but... screw it, step up and get the best their is for a few bucks extra. I want a clip tuner, and that means Peterson Stroboclip. HD? Or HDC? The only remaining question. Kind of like you mention, I want this to be my last clip on tuner ever. End game tuner. Buy it and be done because even in 30 years, no one will have anything better or more accurate. So in that mind set and criteria your options narrow to down to Peterson, Peterson, or Peterson. And that's about it. I haven't decided which exact model yet, but Peterson is selling a tuner regardless. And I can't find enough info contrasting the HD and HDC, hence... Peterson, hook the man up with an HDC so he can review it for me and compare them!
Hahaha. Man I just loved reading this. I think the same way you do! I also lay out buying decisions the exact same way! Hahaha. I answered your question in your other post about the differences between HDC AND HD, so check that out. As far as getting an HDC for review, I am absolutely game! I would just need to contact Marshall over at Peterson and he will likely send one right over. They’re fabulous people at Peterson. Great company. And if I do get another Peterson’s tuner to review, I will ABSOLUTELY do a Spaceballs (another Rick Moranis) reference, just for you! Haha. Great idea! Thanks!
I got a package deal from Sweetwater from both the board tuner and the clip on version. They are overall great tuners. On the board, I have to angle it up or the display gets unreadable. Sometimes it can be a little finicky or slow to respond, but not bad. It is not perfect but yes, VERY accurate so likely it is the best on the market. I am happy with it. I can change to Monitor Mode from the screen. Do I also need to change the physical switch- not sure it even has one. Have not opened up that area yet. It is a 2022 model Strobostomp HD.
Hey! Congrats! Yes, the viewing angle is a thing. But generally, on pedal boards, there is a slight incline and it’s no problem. What do you mean change the physical switch?
@@TheRecordist The sliding switch by the battery. I assume mine has one- have not checked. I can change everything from the menu. Monitor, Bypass mode, etc. I like setting the mute As Last State so in most cases, it turns on when I turn it on. I also use it in a monitor mode so I can see and adjust tuning (often.) I think I have to fix my guitars. They seem to go out way too often. Maybe new strings or tighting up the action on the Trem bar/springs can help. I am sure a fixed bridge would stay in tune better. If not, maybe a new nut or bigger slots or graphite in them so the strings slide better.
@@UTAH100 oh yes. That’s a true bypass or buffered bypass switch. I always keep mine on buffered because sometimes I use the Line 6 Pod Go and having a buffered signal makes it shine.
I'm watching this review and I'm not a musician. I couldn't really care less about strobe tuners, but I would tune in to anything you are reviewing. I would watch a review video where you talk about the pink flamingo lamp in the background.
Oh thanks, man! I really appreciate that! I’m looking for a twin flamingo or even another shape to go on the other monitor. Haha. Dollar store trips. Cheers, dude!
@@MrPerfectfeet could you email me your contact info at recordist@thetps.ca RUclips’s tagging links aren’t working for some reason. At least for me they’re not. I’ll email them directly for you.
Another fabulous product by the king of reviewers. However, I play bluegrass banjo, so it is not necessary to tune it. Does the StroboStomp have an XLR port? If not, please let us know when the Peterson microphone will be coming out. I've got my money ready to go!
The Peterson TP3 is a contact pickup that you can use with their tuners. It's $15~ and will let you tune acoustic instuments like banjos and pianos that don't have pickups. The StroboStomp Classic has all the features of the HD but also adds XLR out plus an additional pad so you can use it as a DI. The downside of the Classic is the size compared to the HD.
Ciao a tutti, volevo sapere se questo pedale è true bypass, non vorrei modificasse il suono dei miei pedali una volta inserito nella catena. Grazie a tutti
Ciao. Sì, lo StroboStomp HD è dotato di true bypass e anche di bypass bufferizzato. C'è un interruttore vicino alla batteria che puoi usare per decidere quale vuoi. Saluti!
My choice would be this one-the StroboStomp. The reason is because it has a battery option and the Mini does not. So if I wanted to go somewhere where there was no power I’m covered.
I could have been using a sweetener on it, which tends to change minute tunings for different chord structures. The intonation was dead on when I set it.

So do I! That’s fantastic! Thanks so much for letting me know! I love Peterson too much!
Amazing reviews as always! The only channel that I have notifications turned on. Thanks!
Wow! That’s so much! I appreciate you watching!

Glad to meet a fellow Peterson Tuner fan! I just love them! And more than that, the people there are so great! I feel good buying from them!
Really enjoyed this again 😄 It is incredible how creative you are! And off course I like this tuner 🤩
Hahah. Thanks so much, Roland! Cheers!
Best review. 🤝🏻⚡️
Thanks so much! I appreciate it! Cheers!
I’m a fan of you. I look forward to watching all of your videos!!!!
Thank you very much! Cheers!
Great video, I got one now!
Woo hoo! Enjoy!

Hey thanks! Yep. Once I switched to Peterson, that was it for me! The accuracy is insane! Thanks for watching!
Bro you have looks and personality!
Why thank you kindly, Kim! I haven’t heard that in many years! You made my day!

06:53 - they had to change it as there were no options to choose with mine. Bought one in 2020, still the best I had!
Fantastic! I also love it so much!
I love my Peterson but over the last month the on/off led is staying on even when it’s off;( can this be fixed?
@PetersonTuners do you know about this?
@@TheRecordist thanks
Hopefully they’ll get back

@@TheRecordist thank u
@@rudycastillo6369 cheers!
Where is no power then your guitar doesn't work too.@@rudycastillo6369
I think dat makes a solid bakers’ dozen of strobe tuners dat Peterson has made.
Hahahahaha! You know it! Gotta love 80s/90s SNL! Hahahaha.
You are correct!
It's the bees knees!
Woo hoo! I love the knees of bees!
I don't have great pitch perception or anything but sorry to tell you that guitar is not in tune. Strangely, I still may buy one of these tuners.
I could have been using a sweetener on it, which tends to change minute tunings for different chord structures.
The intonation was dead on when I set it.
Sounds like you like it - tuning with a pick is not recomended by Peterson
Haha. I do. And you’re absolutely right!
And then you put your sweaty hands on the strings and alter their mass and temperature and none of that accuracy accomplishes anything.
I think if you’re setting up your intonation, a supremely accurate strobe tuner is indispensable.
