The Peterson StroboStomp Mini is a smaller version of the highly acclaimed StroboStomp HD tuner pedal. With a small footprint, top-mounted jacks, accuracy within 0.1 cents, and a bunch of additional features, it’s probably one of the best guitar tuners out there right now.

Diving straight into the box, it’s immediate that you’re dealing with a high-quality product. The packaging is nice, plus, you get a perfectly cut piece of Velcro to stick to the bottom of the pedal, should you wish to attach it to your pedalboard – a nice touch indeed. The pedal is obviously well built, with a sturdy and silent switch and a premium metal casing.
