Presets Creating a New Preset When your tuner displays a combination of Sweetener, Hz and Transpose values that you wish to save as a preset, press and hold the preset/store button until the word “Preset”, a number, and the word ADD or SAV (“save”) appear.

To use this feature, press the mode button once or twice until only the far right and far left sides of the strobe pattern are shown.

Your settings will be able to be loaded onto any Peterson tuner which has a USB port. When you register your tuner, all settings will be stored both at this portal and on your device.
Sweeteners & Temperaments What is a SweetenerTM? Unlike other tuners, which offer no alternatives to equal temperament, Peterson tuners contain many choices of “sweetness” (degrees of harmony or consonance). The Sweetener feature is exclusive to Peterson tuners. This setting also includes popular and historic alternate temperaments. Sweeteners and temperaments apply to both the strobe tuner and the audio tuner. To tune without this feature, select EQU from the Sweetener menu.

GUITAR & BASS TUNING TIPS: If you use a tuning which is not listed as a Sweetener, use EQU. Tune up to pitch, never down. Use fresh strings. GUITAR & BASS INTONATION TIPS After deciding on string gauge, setting string height (nut & bridge) and neck relief—factors that affect the instrument’s intonation considerably—the individual string lengths need to be adjusted. For this task, use equal temperament (EQU). • Lower the pickups away from the strings to avoid "doubling" and electromagnetic pull.
PEDAL STEEL TUNING TIPS: If required, multiple pitches of the same note in the same or different octaves within a single Sweetener can be programmed using the StroboPlus Editor on www.PetersonTuners.com/connect. A bracket for mounting the StroboPlus on a steel guitar is available from www.PetersonTuners.com. Owners of the Peterson StroboFlip can use the StroboFlip mounting bracket with the addition of a universal joint available also from the Peterson online store.
