Peterson StroboVue Tuner
 
Coming in February 2026
 
StroboVUE boasts a high-definition LCD screen with a variable-color LED backlight. The user-selectable colors can be customized for personal preference or optimized for visibility in different ambient lighting conditions. Colors can also be assigned to stock or user presets, reducing menu navigation time and providing greater confidence when tuning on stage.
 
StroboVUE incorporates an Always-On Buffered Output, designed to boost instrument signal and prevent tone loss in signal chains with multiple low-impedance pedals or long cable runs. Its buffered output mode preserves sonic quality across the entire instrument range, keeping your tone intact.
 
With over 100 exclusive Sweetened Tunings™ and numbered Guided Tuning presets, StroboVUE supports a wide variety of instruments and playing styles. Sweetened Tunings, exclusive to Peterson, are designed to correct inherent tuning issues found in many instruments. Guided Tunings display numeric string values instead of traditional note names, ensuring intuitive, accurate, and fast re-tuning for open and alternative tunings. These were created for both beginners exploring alternate tunings and experienced players who switch tunings frequently. Numerically expressed scales are also included.
 
Top-Mounted Jacks
Power, USB, and Input/Output jacks are all conveniently placed on the top of the StroboVUE. This space-saving design maximizes pedalboard real estate and makes setup easier, even on the most crowded boards.
 
We All VUE Color Differently
The LCD display on the StroboVUE is easy to see in bright lighting conditions but the LED backlight color is user-adjustable to suit your particular viewing preference.
Globally change the display color for all functions or choose to associate colors with specific tunings for easy and quick identification at the gig.
Create custom colors on Peterson Connect or use any of the 10 preset colors to organize your preset tuning list.
 
Pure Buffered Output
Running a large pedalboard or extended cable lengths can sap your tone.
StroboVUE solves this with its Pure Buffer circuit, designed to maintain signal integrity from guitar to amp. By preserving high-end detail and preventing signal loss, the Pure Buffer ensures your sound remains transparent, consistent, and true.
 
Angled Enclosure
The StroboVUE features a precision-designed angled enclosure that keeps the display easy to read from a standing or seated position.
Whether you're on stage or in the studio, the viewing angle ensures clear visibility, making tuning fast and effortless.
