StroboStomp Mini Settings

Settings Screen

StroboStomp Mini™ Settings Screen

Your StroboStomp Mini has two screens of operation in which parameters can be adjusted. The Settings Screen allows for more detailed adjustment as well as system information.

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.

Note: To enter the Settings Screen, the tuner must be muted.

While 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 Gear Icon flashes and EXIT scrolls in the lower right of the display. Then, click either the Plus (+) or Minus (-) Value button. Alternatively, to quickly exit the Settings Screen, press the Stomp Switch.

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 Mini, as well as initiate a complete factory reset of your tuner.

Output Mode

The Output Mode of the Peterson StroboStomp Mini may be set up in one of three ways by means of the Settings Screen. To access this setting: power on the tuner, click the Menu Up (🔺) or Menu Down (🔻) button until the Gears icon flashes in the upper left portion of the screen. While the Gear icon is flashing, click either the Plus (+) or Minus (-) button. The first setting shown will be the output mode. The current mode will scroll in the lower right portion of the display. Pressing the Plus (+) or Minus (-) buttons will cycle through the available Output Modes; Monitor-Mode, Buffered-Bypass, True-Bypass. While your chosen mode is displayed in the scrolling text, letting the Settings Screen time-out or using the Menu Up (🔺) or Menu Down (🔻) to navigate to the EXIT label of the Settings Screen and clicking either the Plus (+) or Minus (-) button will confirm your Output Mode selection.

NOTE: To access the Settings Screen the tuner must be muted.

100% True Bypass Operation

In this mode, the instrument signal flows through the tuner circuits only when muted

by the stomp switch to enable silent tuning. When the tuner is bypassed or un-muted,

both the input and the output are physically disconnected from the tuner circuit and the

tuner is switched off. This allows the instrument signal to flow freely from input to output

without any physical or electronic contact with the tuner’s internal circuits.

Buffered Bypass

In this mode, the instrument signal flows through the tuner circuits only when muted

by the stomp switch to enable silent tuning. When the tuner is bypassed or un-muted,

the output is driven by a preamp (buffered) with a low impedance active driver. This

prevents down-stream cables from affecting the signal (AKA: Tone Sucking), or other

devices that might load and distort the signal.

Buffered Bypass / Monitor Mode ( Default )

In this mode, the output is driven exactly as in Buffered Bypass Mode but the tuner

display remains active when un-muted to monitor tuning while playing.

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

Changing The Global Display Color

Click either the Up (🔺) or Down (🔻) Menu button until the Palette Icon flashes. The words 'Global Color' will scroll in the lower right of the display 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 the Menu Up (🔺) and Value Plus (+) buttons together.

Power Up Mute State

Click either the Up (🔺) or Down (🔻) Menu button until the Power-Up Mute-State Setting scrolls in the lower right of the display and the letters P and U alternate in the center of the display. Use the Plus (+) or Minus (-) value buttons to choose one of three settings:

Muted: the StroboStomp Mini will power up in a muted state

Unmuted: the StroboStomp Mini will power up in an unmuted state

Most-Recent: the StroboStomp Mini will power up in the most recently used state, either muted or unmuted

Changing The Accidentals Setting

Click either the Up (🔺) or Down (🔻) Menu button until the Global Accidentals Setting scrolls in the lower right of the display. 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 scrolls. Then, press the Menu Up (🔺) and Value Plus (+) buttons together.

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 will override the global setting.

Changing The Configuration

A Configuration is a collection of all the user-adjustable parameters that affect how your StroboStomp Mini 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 scrolls in the lower right of the display and a C appears in the center of the display. 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 ).

Another way to set your selected Configuration back to 'dEF' ( Default ) is to press the Menu Up (🔺) and Value Plus (+) buttons together after the Configuration label has scrolled and the current configuration is displayed.

NOTE: Changing the Configuration will also reset all user settings.

Resetting User Settings of Active Configuration

To reset ALL user-adjustable parameters of your Active Configuration back to their default values, click either the Up (🔺) or Down (🔻) Menu button until Configuration scrolls in the lower right of the display. Then, press the Menu Down (🔻) and Value Minus (-) buttons together. This will reset all of the settings and preset parameters of your active configuration back to their default values. The Mute Icon and Strobe Band will flash to confirm that changes have been made to your configuration.

Changing The Auto-Order Presets Setting

Click either the Up (🔺) or Down (🔻) Menu button until the Auto-Order Presets Setting scrolls in the lower right of the display and a large A appears in the center. Use the Plus (+) or Minus (-) Value button to select ON or OFF. The Auto-Order Presets Setting changes whether or not your StroboStomp Mini 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 scrolls. Then, press the Menu Up (🔺) and Value Plus (+) buttons together.

Play Preset

Click either the Up (🔺) or Down (🔻) Menu button until the Play-Preset setting scrolls in the lower right of the display and a P is visible in the center of the display. Use the Plus (+) or Minus (-) Value button to select ON or OFF. The Play Preset setting allows you to press and hold the Stomp Switch while on the Tune Screen, then pluck or thump your instrument to cycle through your Sweetener Presets.

Viewing the Firmware and Hardware Versions

Click either the Up (🔺) or Down (🔻) Menu button until a large F is in the center of the display. The firmware version number will scroll in the lower right corner of the display. Clicking the Up Menu button will reveal the Hardware Version.

Full Factory Reset

Factory Reset returns your StroboStomp Mini 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 scrolls in the lower right corner of the display. Click either the Plus (+) Value button to initiate a Factory Reset.

A timer will begin counting down. When the countdown is complete, your StroboStomp Mini will be set to factory default. Clicking any of the 4 buttons will cancel the Factory Reset.
