How Does It Work 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. Visit our website > Resources > Why Peterson to view. When the Display... Moves to the Left - your tuning is flat. Moves to the Right - 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. Review: Top dollar strobe tuner with an exception. - Firstly I'm not going to go into great detail what this tuner is capable of doing as there are already a great many reviews out there. The USB connection socket on my device is a mini micro connection and the design of the unit was probably pre USB C. Many already know how fiddley this socket can be connecting to, and so easy to get the plug matched to the socket the wrong way around thus damaging the socket. A good way of making sure this never happens is to mark both plug and unit with a dab of quick drying nail polish. Not everyone realises that the USB plug itself usually has a raised USB symbol, moulded into the top of the USB plug. This will always face towards you when connecting to the unit which should also be facin towards you. Either mark the socket and plug, or purchase a USB Mini Micro to USB C adaptor. This particular machine i will say the instructions mention nothing about the USB connection, I failed to find anything that mentioned what connection it was. Staring down into the USB connection it was quite difficult to make out what socket it was because the socket was wonky and partly hidden where it had not been positioned correctly at the factory it was built/assembled. This was shoddy workmanship. Better instructions might be found at the vendors website, I haven't checked there personally but if you have a problem that is first port of call. Secondly for the price of the unit Peterson doesn't even include a USB lead!! If a unit is supplied with a USB connection then the company must always, always supply the lead in the box as standard. Its a little like supplying a unit with mains and not including the mains cable with the assumption many will already have the cable, "Do Not Make Assumptions" Constuction: Made of plastic, the actual stalk that the tuner display sits on, Prime Snap off Territory. Just take care with it as its liable to snap here if ever caught or hit on something when attached to the guitars headstock. "It is what it is" Guaranteed this will happen to someone. Otherwise yes its a brilliant tool as well for set ups, yes goes to sleep but wakes up soon as a string is tapped. Intonation tests with this are stable and perfect for this sort of set up recommended. No vibration or sound detected briefly the unit's display closes, but soon as it detects life the screen immediately responds. If left unused for say one minute the unit will switch off altogether to save on battery. It's easy to switch it back on. I trust with future units the USB Socket is changed out for a C connection as the lead can be connected up or down side. Shoddy workmanship on the USB socket, but overall a near good quality unit but definitely a good hands free strobe tuner. Review: Easy to read, highly accurate and offers sweetened tunings. - Price is a bit heavy but this is an easy to read tuner that also allows a whole variety of tunings. With the usual headstock tuners, it can be difficult to see when the indicator is centred and because I'm red/green colour blind it's not easy to see red off-tune indications. The Peterson tuner uses a rotating display which stops moving when the instrument is in tune; very easy to use. I leave mine set to sweetened tunings, which tunes the strings a few cents short on the actual note and gives a more pleasant sound. That's a subject which others can google. Probably the best accessory I've bought for my guitars, over many years. ## Features - True strobe 0. 1 Cent accuracy - accurate to 1/1000th of a Semitone or 1/1000th of a fret ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06ZZX99G8 | | Best Sellers Rank | 14,691 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 233 in Tuners | | Box Contents | Soft rubber-lined jaws, Extra wide clamp | | Brand | Peterson | | Brand Name | Peterson | | Colour | Black | | Connector Type | USB | | Connector type | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,097 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00805265500612 | | Item Type Name | Tuner | | Item Weight | 0.08 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Peterson | | Manufacturer Part Number | 403868 | | Model Number | 403868 | | Tuner Type | Digital | | Tuner technology | Digital | | UPC | 805265500612 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Peterson - **Color:** Black - **Connector Type:** USB - **Tuner Technology:** Strobe - **UPC:** 805265500612 ## Images ![Peterson StroboClip HD Clip-On Tuner | Guitar, Bass, Violin, Ukulele, Harp, Brass, Woodwind, Orchestral - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Vt8xXU3KL.jpg) ![Peterson StroboClip HD Clip-On Tuner | Guitar, Bass, Violin, Ukulele, Harp, Brass, Woodwind, Orchestral - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DGSMX0DTL.jpg) ![Peterson StroboClip HD Clip-On Tuner | Guitar, Bass, Violin, Ukulele, Harp, Brass, Woodwind, Orchestral - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+Ru2OWz0L.jpg) ![Peterson StroboClip HD Clip-On Tuner | Guitar, Bass, Violin, Ukulele, Harp, Brass, Woodwind, Orchestral - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71filodjH5L.jpg) ![Peterson StroboClip HD Clip-On Tuner | Guitar, Bass, Violin, Ukulele, Harp, Brass, Woodwind, Orchestral - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81D1-0p83jL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is there a preset for dobro?** A: I am not sure exactly what you mean by preset. There are 2 sweetened tunings specifically for dobro, and if you don't want a sweetened tuning you just select the standard (equal temperament) tuning. It just shows you what note you are closest to regardless of how you have your dobro tuned. I used the USB interface to remove all tunings except equal, so I don't have to worry about getting it in a funny mode by fat-fingering the tiny buttons that are all jammed up next to each other (still a sore point with me!). **Q: Can this be used to tune a diatonic harmonica?** A: The clip tuner responds to vibration, so if think you can actually hold a steady note on a harmonica the tuner will read it... the challenge for you will be reading it while it’s clipped on the harmonica. Next, you’re going to have lots of fun tweaking your reeds to accommodate your playing style... good luck with this project! I would suggest an app called ClearTune for your phone, then you can see the notes as you play them on your phone, before spending money on the Petersen. Good luck! **Q: willl this work on a pedal steel my stroboflip led screen died and i dont have the money for a new one?** A: It works well on my steel (2003 Sierra U12) in 90% of circumstances but sometimes has trouble finding the note quickly on stages that have loud subwoofers beneath. But highly recommended anyway! **Q: How do I tune it to have a European violin and an acoustic guitar among all the instruments??** A: Violins are in the preset list along with lots of acoustic guitars. It can also be programmed with custom tunings for anything I could imagine doing with a clip-on tuner. If you're serious about getting this you need to go to the Peterson website and download its manual so YOU can figure out what it does and how it does it. Be sure to find information on Peterson Connect to learn about custom tunings and how those are done. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top dollar strobe tuner with an exception. *by E***T on 27 June 2024* Firstly I'm not going to go into great detail what this tuner is capable of doing as there are already a great many reviews out there.

Previously used an app tuner on my phone, but it never sounded quite right. Now the guitar sounds great. Very pricey for such a tiny device though. ## Frequently Bought Together - Peterson StroboClip HD Clip-On Tuner | Guitar, Bass, Violin, Ukulele, Harp, Brass, Woodwind, Orchestral - D'Addario Accessories Guitar Humidifier System - Humidipak Maintain Kit - Automatic Humidity Control System - Maintenance-Free, Two-Way Humidity Control System For Guitars - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/56278258-peterson-stroboclip-hd-clip-on-tuner-guitar-bass-violin-ukulele](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/56278258-peterson-stroboclip-hd-clip-on-tuner-guitar-bass-violin-ukulele) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
