Shop Peterson Tuners

For over 75 years, Peterson has defined the standard for tuning accuracy, establishing itself as the go-to brand for professional musicians, guitar techs, and orchestra players who demand perfection. Founded in 1948, the company revolutionised the industry with their mechanical strobe tuners, and today they pack that same unrivalled precision into digital devices that are accurate to within 0.1 cents, far superior to standard chromatic tuners. Peterson is best known for their proprietary ‘Sweetened Tunings’, a unique feature that applies microtonal adjustments to compensate for the inherent intonation quirks of specific instruments, ensuring that your chords ring out with perfect consonance rather than just hitting a technical pitch.

Peterson Clip on Tuners

The Peterson StroboClip range brings the power of a professional bench tuner to a compact, portable format that sits discreetly on your headstock. Unlike standard clip-ons that can struggle with low notes or vibrate loosely, these tuners feature ultra-wide, rubber-lined jaws that provide a firm grip on everything from violins to 5-string basses, ensuring optimal signal tracking. They are equipped with high-definition, backlit displays that remain visible on the darkest stages or in direct sunlight, and they include a vast library of ‘Sweetener’ presets designed to optimise the tuning for acoustics, electrics, ukuleles, and orchestral instruments. With a rechargeable battery option and a rugged design, a Peterson clip on is the ultimate always-ready tool for players who refuse to compromise on pitch accuracy, even during a quick mid-set tune-up.

Peterson Tuner Pedals

For the pedalboard user, Peterson tuner pedals like the StroboStomp series offer the ultimate combination of visibility, durability, and signal integrity. These units feature massive, high-definition LCD screens with variable colour backlights, allowing you to colour-code your presets for different tunings, instant visual feedback that is invaluable during a high-pressure gig. Beyond the display, these pedals are built to be the command centre of your rig, offering selectable True Bypass or Buffered Output modes to preserve your tone over long cable runs, as well as pop-less switching to keep your signal silent when tuning. Whether you are setting intonation on a workbench or tuning a drop-tuned metal guitar on a festival stage, Peterson pedals deliver the same 0.1-cent strobe accuracy that has made the brand a legend in the industry.
