Peterson StroboStomp HD — 0.1-Cent Strobe Accuracy in a Pedal
The StroboStomp HD delivers true strobe tuning with 0.1-cent accuracy in a compact pedal format. It features the largest tuning display Peterson has built into a pedal — a high-definition LCD with a variable-color LED backlight readable in any lighting. A stainless-steel chassis and USB Micro-B port complete the package.
What Sets This Pedal Apart
A timed dual-relay true-bypass circuit in the StroboStomp HD bleeds the signal before breaking the connection, eliminating the audible "pop" common to other designs. The variable-color LED backlight assigns per preset for instant tuning identification mid-set.
Strobe Tuning Resolution and Range
Strobe tuning shows pitch deviation in real time, favored for studio-grade intonation. The StroboStomp HD's display resolves pitch to 0.1 cent across a 417-segment LCD.
- Accuracy: 0.1 cents — fine enough for professional intonation
- Note Range: C0 to A#8 (16.35 Hz to 7302 Hz) — bass through extended-range instruments
- Concert A Reference: 390 Hz to 490 Hz — adjustable for historical temperaments
Signal Path, Bypass Modes, and Pedalboard Integration
Three user-selectable modes — silent true bypass, buffered output, and buffered monitor — adapt the StroboStomp HD to any rig.
- Bypass Modes: Silent true bypass, buffered output, buffered monitor — battery-box switch selection
- Inputs/Outputs: 1/4" mono in, 1/4" mono thru — standard pedalboard patch cables
- Power — 9V DC at 85 mA typical with 1 A pass-through to drive a 9th pedal on the board
Sweetened Tunings, Presets, and Firmware Updates
Peterson's Sweetened Tunings compensate for inherent intonation quirks, while guided numeric presets simplify switching between tunings on the StroboStomp HD.
- Sweetened Tunings: Over 135 factory presets — including Buzz Feiten, EVH, steel guitar formulas
- Guided Tunings — numeric string-number mode for fast re-tuning across alternate and drop setups
- USB: Micro-B port — firmware updates and Peterson Connect preset loading
