The Vibe output feeds the optional Vibe Clip to provide tactile tempo feedback.Ĭontrol of the unit is via just five large buttons below the display and a rotary data encoder which incorporates a push-to-enter switch. The last of these allows Peterson’s innovative BodyBeat Sync metronome facilities to be added to the StroboPlus HD, although this requires a chargeable firmware update. Quarter-inch audio In and Thru jacks are fitted, along with a headphone jack and a ‘Vibe’ socket. Input can be via a guitar cable or the built-in microphone, and an optional headstock clip may also be used for tuning acoustic instruments that have no pickup.Ĭustom tunings may be programmed using the free-to-download PetersonConnect utility (Mac and Windows) via the built-in USB port, which is also used to charge the device’s lithium ion smartphone-style battery. The StroboPlus HD offers a choice from standard equal-temperament tuning, over 90 so-called ‘sweetened’ tunings (including the Buzz Feiten tuning system) and (multi-octave) piano-style stretch tunings.
Peterson’s new StroboPlus HD is accurate to 1000th of a semitone and has a very large, smooth-scrolling, back-illuminated LCD that shows the virtual strobe bars moving clockwise if the note is sharp, anticlockwise if flat, and remaining stationary when the note is fully at the target pitch. An accurate tuner is an essential tool for live performance and studio work, but especially so for doing guitar setups, an application in which Peterson’s strobe tuners have become the closest thing there is to an industry standard.
