Stomp Classic
Ah-mazing product. Built like a tank (read: lethal weapon). Easier to see in all lighting conditions, than my previous choice of tuners. Love the fact that there are SOOOOOO many options for tuning different instruments. Overview
The Peterson VSS-C StroboStomp Classic Tuner is the most fully-featured pedal tuner made by anyone to date. A high-contrast LCD screen makes this tuner the perfect choice for both indoor and outdoor use as well as for anywhere that lighting conditions are less than ideal. Integrated, fold out, steel mounting lugs at the unit’s bottom rubberized plate keep it in place on your pedal board without unsightly tape or messy adhesives. Its ultra-robust die-cast chassis and Switchcraft brand input/output jacks assure a quality tuning even after the roughest of voyages. Also, its unique quick- release battery-access door steers you far away from having to deal with delicate, easily broken, battery lead wires. Battery changes are a breeze!
The professional-quality active DI on board is mutable and lets you select one of three stages of signal attenuation—all while remaining 100% true bypass. Finally, the tuner’s side mounted USB jack makes your unit future-proof and custom tailored to be exactly what you need it to be by allowing Mac or PC connectivity for updates and unit user programming/modifications.

I've only used this on 2 gigs so far, but the build quality seems robust. It is larger than a standard-sized pedal housing, but still quite manageable in size.

What power supplies can be used with my Peterson Pedal Tuner? ( StroboStomp 1 & 2, Stomp Classic & StroboStomp HD/LE/Mini )
Partial list of regulated power supplies:
- Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 (Eight isolated 9VDC 100mA regulated outputs)
- Dunlop DCB-10 DC Brick (10 outputs)
- Visual Sound 1-Spot (9V fully regulated output)
- Carl Martin Big John 9v Power Supply (Seven 9VDC outputs 600mA total)
- Sanyo Pedal Juice
- T-Rex Fuel Tank
- Godlyke PA9 Power All (9V 800mA regulated output)
- Boss PSA120 adapter (9V 200mA regulated)
As always with any pedal, be careful - check voltage ( 9V regulated ) & polarity (positive barrel-negative inner sleeve) first and don't overload the power supply's ampere rating by daisy chaining too many pedals from a single supply.

How do I read a strobe display?
Adjust your instrument until the pattern is as close to still as possible. Strobe displays are 'real-time' and extremely precise. They require very fine tuning adjustments to stop the display because the frequency/pitch of any instrument is never totally stable.
You'll quickly learn to read the display, make the most precise adjustments and appreciate the high resolution that only a Peterson provides.
