Overview

RECHARGEABLE BATTERY

StroboClip HDC is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Get up to 6 hours of tuning time on a single charge! ( color-dependent )

Quickly recharge via the included USB-C cable.

ULTRA-WIDE CLAMP

The jaws of the StroboClip HDC is greater than 1" (25.4mm) to accommodate a variety of instruments and mounting locations.

Early music and orchestral instruments can be tuned with ease.

We All See Color Differently

The LCD display on the StroboClip HDC 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.

GOT BASS CHOPS?

With rock-solid tracking down to 16Hz, tuning that low B will never be a problem.

There is no more need for 12th fret tuning to get low notes to register or trying to decipher an erratic tuning display.

The StroboClip HDC will always deliver a smooth tuning response and convey even the most minute changes in pitch in real-time allowing users to get in tune faster using the highest resolution in tuning accuracy.

The new StroboClip HDC is great. It's my 3rd StoboClip. The original Silver version had issues with the clip, I wrapped a rubber band around it and gave it to my daughter, she won't use it much. I then bought the next model which was much improved physically. When I went to buy a new one for my guitar student, they were banned in Australia because of the ease of access to the button battery (which it seems young children like to eat :-( ) So I ordered 2 of the new rechargeable version (one for him and a spare for me). It arrived last week. And it's even better than the previous one. I wasn't sure I'd want to connect it to the Internet (being an ICT Security guy). But after charging it, I connected it to Peterson connect, registered it and updated the firmware. I'd never go back to a digital tuner, not that the good ones are useless (I still have a really nice Korg), but the sampling lag and "dead Zone" inherent in that design makes them no where near as good as the StroboClip ...

Frequently Asked Questions

View StroboClip HDC Tune Screen

View StroboClip HDC Settings Screen

Does my StroboClip HDC require calibration?

Generally, your StroboClip HDC will not require calibration and should remain perfectly accurate if it has not been damaged.

Unlike more modern Peterson strobes, legacy models such as the Peterson 400, 420, 450 and 700 do require occasional calibration.

If you require service, please open a support ticket and return the tuner for repair.

Help others find this information sooner.

How long do I need to charge my StroboClip HDC if the battery dies?

Your StroboClip HDC will give roughly 5 minutes of tuning time after a 1 minute charge.

10 minutes of charging will give roughly 1.5 hours of tuning time.

45 minutes of charging should fully charge the StroboClip HDC and allow up to 6 hours of tuning time.

Was this helpful?

Help others find this information sooner.

What is the battery life of StroboClip HDC?

The StroboClip HDC should operate for roughly 6 hours of tuning time, dependent upon color choice and brightness.

The colors red, green, and blue use only one LED driver and therefore require less power allowing for longer use before depleting the battery.

White uses all three LED drivers at full power, using the most amount of battery power and will reduce the amount of tuning time available.

Brightness values will also affect the battery life. Brightness may be set via the Configuration Tool in Peterson Connect.

No, the battery on the StroboClip HDC is not removable.

There are no user serviceable parts inside the StroboClip HDC.

My StroboClip HDC is charged but will not turn on. What do I do?

If your StroboClip HDC is non responsive to the Power/m\Menu Button, and it is confirmed that the battery is charged, please use the Reset Button located on the rear of the tuner.

To activate the Reset Button, insert a pin or straightened paper clip into the hole in the back of the tuner. You will feel a slight depression and click of the Reset Button. Hold the Reset Button in the depressed state for 3 seconds then release.

Your Power/Menu Button should now function normally.
