How do you read a Strobostomp???

[sproul07]

I just recently picked up a Peterson Strobostomp and I am pretty happy with it except I can't figure out how to read it. Mine was used so it didn't come with a manual, but I downloaded one but it didn't have any info on actually how to read it. Like with the Boss or other tuners, it has the LED that go from side to side and when it hits the middle green LED then its in tune. But with this one it has that strobe stuff on the side but I have no idea how to read if its sharp or flat. Can anyone help me out with this???

If the "strobe" is moving upward, the note is sharp. Turn down until there is the least movement of the strobe. If the note is flat, it will move downward.

Adjust tuning pegs as needed.

I hope that made sense!

I was pretty bewildered with it at first, too. Basically you tune up or down slowly until everything stops moving. It (the strobe) will slow down as you get closer to pitch.
You'll get the feel of it really quickly. I have a really hard time with other tuners now.

If you're not getting a good read, turn down the volume knob a touch and it will often read better.
