StroboStomp HD Pedal Tuner
From the manufacturer
The Sound of Precision
Peterson Strobe Tuners is a Chicago-based, family-owned company that has been manufacturing precision tuning equipment since 1948. Most commonly recognized for their mechanical strobe tuning products, Peterson also offers a full line of hardware, software, and mobile tuning solutions using their patented Virtual Strobe Technology as well as metronome products with their BodyBeat line. Peterson is dedicated to developing professional grade tuning equipment by excellence through innovation.
StroboStomp HD
Pedal strobe tuner with true-bypass operation and buffered output tuning modes for guitar, bass, Buzz Feiten, steel guitar, pedal steel, and more
The StroboStomp HD boasts a high-definition, LCD screen that incorporates a variable color LED backlight. The user-selectable colors can be used to personalize the tuner or to increase display viewing quality in different levels of ambient lighting depending on the usage environment. The vibrant screen colors can also be assigned to stock or user presets to significantly reduce menu navigation time and increase on-stage tuning confidence at the gig.
- True Strobe 0.1 Cent Accuracy - Accurate to 1/1000th of a Semitone or 1/1000th of a Fret

Pure Buffer Mode OperationDoes your love for effect-driven musical chaos require a massive pedal board? Need that XL cable for jumping off the stack during your face melting solo? No problem! The StroboStomp HD features a PURE buffer mode to preserve the sonic clarity of your axe while enabling you to run a collection of pedals and long cable lengths without compromise. |
100% Pop-less True BypassWe've redesigned and greatly improved the way incoming signal was handled in true-bypass mode to deliver a perfectly silent experience when muting your signal. A dual relay circuit effectively bleeds out any incoming signal before powering the tuner down resulting in a silent transition without affecting tone quality. |
Easy To Read DisplayThe multi-color display on the StroboStomp HD is easy to see - even in direct sunlight! The strobe image and note name appear monochromatic in direct sunlight making it very easy to view what is going on with your tuning when playing outdoors. Tune confidently with the largest strobe and note name pattern ever designed into a pedal tuner. |
Sweetened Tunings
What they do for your instrument
Sweetened Tunings are exclusive presets that are instrument specific - optimized tunings - that are designed to compensate for an instrument's shortcomings to help increase its playability across a broader range of notes. Brighter and cleaner tones can be achieved using these proprietary Sweetened presets that are currently available for over 135 instrument types in the StroboStomp HD. Use our presets or create your own via Peterson Connect (visit our website) and load them in via the USB port.
Available Instrument Groups
- Guitar and Bass
- Steel Guitar
- Bluegrass Instruments
- Buzz Feiten Equipped Instruments
- Orchestral/Harp/World
- Guided Numbered Tunings
We All See Color Differently
The LCD display on the StroboStomp HD is easy to see in bright lighting conditions but the LED backlight color is user-adjustable to suit your particular viewing preference. Globally change the display color for all functions or choose to associate colors with specific tunings for easy and quick identification at the gig. Create custom colors on Peterson Connect or use any of the 10 preset colors to organize your preset tuning list.
How Does It Work?
Not familiar or never used a strobe tuner? No problem!
Every Peterson strobe tuner is a genuine strobe tuner that allows you to achieve extreme tuning resolution due to the nature of its display - placing it into 'strobe mode' is not required. In fact, the displays inside every one of our products provide the same tuning feedback as our renowned mechanical tuning strobes; more commonly referred to as 'spinning wheel' strobes.
Watch our 'Why Peterson' video series for greater detail on how our products work and what they can do for you and your instrument.
When the Display...
- Strobe moves downward - your tuning is flat.
- Strobe moves upward - your tuning is sharp.
- The faster the displays scrolls, the further you are from tune.
- The tuning bands will slow and begin to lock the closer you come into tune.
- When the tuning bands momentarily stop just after the attack of the note, the note is in tune.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Update: After using this pedal for a year and a half there are a couple of drawbacks which other reviewers have also highlighted. The first is the rubber base. It is super heavy duty and works great on most surfaces protecting the surface as well as the pedal, however if you are mounting the pedal on a pedal board as in my application the rubber surface makes attaching velcro strips difficult. It holds for a bit and then needs to be replaced. I have gone through 2 or three replacement strips over the year. The second issue is the placement of the side buttons. This is actually not much of an issue if the pedal is mounted to a board but if you are having to pick up or grab the loose pedal you would hit those and have to find your setting again. Others have complained about the screen being fragile and while it is probably the weakest part of the incredibly well built case I haven't had any issues. I ended up leaving the plastic film over the screen on which the pedal shipped with and it hasn't affected the performance at all. I also keep the tuner on my pedal board and take it to gigs in a case which I would recommend.
For dead-on accuracy, the Peterson StroboStomp HD is the best, I don't think any other tuner comes close in a pedal format. The many customized "sweetenings" are really cool, though one does not need to use them in order use the pedal effectively, other than using the basic guitar or bass sweeteners. Works great on my Stratocaster as well as on my fretless jazz bass.
However, there are a few issues with the StroboStomp HD that I think could be improved on:
1. It needs to be more friendly for pedalboards. I had to peel off the rubber base on the bottom of the pedal in order to properly secure it on my pedalboard. Boss pedals are so much easier work with on pedalboards.
2. As some reviewers have noted, some of the buttons are oddly placed right where one would want to grab the pedal. This can be frustrating, and again, I have to give a nod to BOSS in terms of having a better form factor overall in terms of placement of controls/functions.
Also, be aware that the screen is large, which is a blessing and a curse in that while it's easy to read, it can be prone to scratches or even cracks if not handled with care. Peterson sells a screen protector for it and I highly recommend purchasing it with the pedal.
These shortcomings do not effect the performance of the StroboStomp HD. It is a superb tuner pedal. Hopefully Peterson will address these issues in future revisions of this great pedal.
This tuner works great, especially with my 12-string acoustic. The B strings are always just 'off' enough with clip-on headstock tuners to be noticeable to me, but with the Strobostomp it's much better. The multitude of various specialized things should cover any stringed instrument you've got, and the ability to arrange and modify them through the Peterson Connect website makes it much easier than through the pedal itself. The website and user interface isn't perfect, but it's pretty good.
All in all, it may seem silly to have a separate pedal just for tuning when the are headstock tuners as well as cheaper tuner pedals or built-in tuners included with multi-effect pedals, but the accuracy and flexibility you get with this beats them all.
to see and works perfect
Two big things that could be better:
1) The battery space is very tight, and makes the latch not work very well. I would of been better for a new modern swing out style, you know the ones that just opens and the battery is installed and popes back into place. What I see is, if I don't take a lot of care in doing the battery change battery clip will break. It's not a very good design at all, more like a after thought, just to get the new product out the door. Very poor in my book and I might have to just set it up in a powered setup.
2) The strobe is strobing all the time, kind of a distraction. It would be better to have a button that was more like a on/off for the tuner , and a soft mute also for the audio output to your amp.
The tuner works great, but just a couple things would make it so much better of a product for the music player or professional player. The case is well built, nice buttons for adjusting setting, and has a place for power on the back, guitar in and out on the two sides. I couple sticky pads for placing either on the floor or velcroing to a pedal board. Great tuner but Peterson could of worked out a couple things better, maybe they will do a update in the future.
