Peterson Connect is a free software interface that can be used to customize your StroboStomp HD.

Through the use of Peterson Connect™, you are able to:

• Update Firmware

• Design your own Sweetened & Guided Tunings

• Configure Sweetener or Guided Tuning Presets

• Re-order, minimize or expand your on-board Presets list

• Adjust various display settings

The majority of users will be able to make all needed adjustment to their StroboStomp HD without the

need for Peterson Connect. However, some users may wish to experiment with this free utility to

further customize their StroboStomp HD. A data-capable micro USB cable ( not included ) is required to

connect the StroboStomp HD to your computer.

NOTE: Not all micro USB cables are capable of transferring data. Products that are not intended

to connect to a computer but require charging of a lithium-ion battery often include charge-only

micro USB cables. In order for Peterson Connect to communicate with your StroboStomp HD,

your computer's operating system must first be able to detect it.

Changing The Accidentals Setting

Changing The Configuration

To quickly set your selected Configuration back to 'dEF' ( Default ) configuration, click either the up or

down Menu button until Configuration flashes. Then, press and hold the Menu up and Value plus

buttons together for around a half of a second.

NOTE: Changing the Configuration is NOT a Full Factory Reset.

Resetting The Configuration

To reset ALL user-adjustable parameters of your selected Configuration back to their default values,

click either the up or down Menu button until Configuration flashes. Then, press and hold the Menu

down and Value minus buttons together for around a half of a second. This will reset all of the settings

and presets of your active configuration back to their default values.

Changing The Auto-Order Presets Setting

Viewing the Hardware and Firmware Versions

Full Factory Reset

Factory Reset returns your StroboStomp HD to a complete

'out-of-the-box' state. All Presets are reset, adjusted Settings Screen

parameters are set back to default and any additional user

configuration data that has been added is erased. Click either the up

or down Menu button until the Factory Reset Label flashes. Click either

the plus or minus Value button to initiate a Factory Reset.

A timer will begin counting down and the Mute LED will flash with the

timer. Clicking any of the 4 buttons will cancel the Factory Reset.

When inside the Settings Screen, the Firmware Version will always

show in the lower right corner of the screen unless you choose to

view the Hardware Version instead. Click either the up or down

Menu button until the Hardware Version is visible. Continuing to

click either the up or down Menu button will again reveal the

Firmware Version.

Click either the up or down Menu button until the Auto-Order Presets

Setting flashes. Use the plus or minus Value button to select ON or

OFF. The Auto-Order Presets Setting changes whether or not your

StroboStomp HD re-orders your Presets based on those which you

have most recently used.

To quickly set your Auto-Order Presets Setting back to the default

( ON ), click either the up or down Menu button until the Auto-Order

Presets Setting flashes. Then, press and hold the Menu up and Value

plus buttons together for around a half of a second.

A Configuration is a collection of all the user-adjustable parameters

that affect how your StroboStomp HD functions. This collection

includes the parameters accessible in your settings screen as well

as all of your Presets. Out of the box, there is only one selectable

configuration named 'dEF' ( Default ). You can add an additional

configuration via the use of Peterson Connect ( see below ).

To change your Configuration, click either the up or down Menu

button until Configuration flashes. Use the plus or minus Value

button to select from 'dEF' ( Default ) or the three letter name of a

custom configuration that you may have downloaded from the

Peterson website via the use of Peterson Connect, commonly 'USR'

( User ).

Click either the up or down Menu button until the Accidentals Setting

flashes. Use the plus or minus Value button to select from 'SHP'

( Sharps ), 'FLT' ( Flats ) or 'bTH' which is a combination of

commonly used enharmonic equivalents. The Accidentals Setting

changes how the accidental is displayed beside the Note Name on

the Tune Screen. To quickly set your Accidentals Setting back to the

default ( 'SHP' Sharps ), click either the up or down Menu button

until the Accidentals Setting flashes. Then, press and hold the Menu

up and Value plus buttons together for around a half of a second.

NOTE: If you have designed a custom sweetened or guided

tuning through the use of Peterson Connect, you may have

chosen an Accidentals Setting specifically for that tuning. Any

accidental settings specific to a custom tuning override the

global setting.

StroboStomp HD™ Settings Screen

Your StroboStomp HD has two screens of operation in which parameters can be adjusted. The

Settings Screen allows for more detailed adjustment as well as system information. The Settings

Screen will always display battery level and firmware version.

To enter the Settings Screen, click either the up or down Menu button until the Gears Icon flashes.

Then, click either the plus or minus Value button.

When viewing the Settings Screen, inaction will eventually revert back to the Tune Screen. However,

after adjusting a parameter using the Value plus and minus buttons, inaction for just a few seconds will

revert back to the Tune Screen. To actively return to the Tune Screen, click either the up or down

Menu button until the Back Arrow Icon flashes. Then, click either the plus or minus Value button.

Within the Settings Screen, the following parameters

are adjustable:

* Some factory presets may be switched to OFF by default.

In addition to the above parameters, you can view both the firmware

and hardware version of your StroboStomp HD, as well as initiate a

complete factory reset of your tuner.

To adjust the following parameters, you must first be within the Settings Screen.

Changing The Global Display Color

Changing The Visibility of Presets

For example, if you only ever use EQU, GTR and ACU, you could first turn ALL presets OFF and then

toggle these 3 back ON individually.

NOTE: At least one preset must be set to ON. If you would like to hide EQU, set another preset

to ON before doing so.

Click either the up or down Menu button until the Octave Display

Setting flashes. Use the plus or minus Value button to select ON or

OFF. The Octave Display Setting shows or hides the Tuning Note

Octave Number on the Tune Screen. To quickly set your Octave

Display Setting back to the default ( OFF ), click either the up or

down Menu button until the Octave Display Setting flashes. Then,

press and hold the Menu up and Value plus buttons together for

around a half of a second.

Individual presets can be shown or hidden in order to narrow the

preset selection list. This allows you to customize your StroboStomp

HD to only display presets that are relevant to you in order to avoid

scrolling through over 130 Sweetener or Guided Tuning Presets.

Click either the up or down Menu button until the 3 Character Preset

Name Display flashes. Use the plus or minus Value button to select

the name of the preset of which you would like to show or hide.

Depressing the stomp switch will toggle the preset to ON or OFF.

To toggle ALL presets ON, press and hold the Menu up and Value

plus buttons together for around a half of a second. To toggle ALL

presets OFF ( except for EQU ), press and hold the Menu down and

Value minus buttons together for around a half of a second.

Click either the up or down Menu button until the Palette Icon flashes.

The word 'Global' will appear below the Palette Icon to denote that

you are editing the Global Display Color. Use the plus or minus Value

button to select 1 of 10 predefined colors. The Global Display Color

will become the default Preset Display Color of ALL Presets that have

not been previously adjusted. Future adjustment of the Preset Display

Color of individual Presets via the Tune Screen will override the

Global Display Color for that Preset.

To quickly set your Global Display Color back to the default Orange

color, click either the up or down Menu button until the Palette Icon

flashes. Then, press and hold the Menu up and Value plus buttons

together for around a half of a second.
