I bought this Tuner Late January in 2023 and installed it on my pedal board. Using it daily it has worked flawlessly giving me a quick, easy, and accurate ability to tune my guitar. I've seen other reviewers note a one second delay when turning it either on or off. It does do this but has not bothered me to this point. Many good points, however! Change color for better visibility, versatile for different instruments, display easy to see, and ability to work with non standard tunings.

I bought the smaller version of this first, but ended up exchanging it for the larger-sized pedal for ease of viewing and quicker changing between options with the few extra buttons on the larger version.
This tuner works great, especially with my 12-string acoustic. The B strings are always just 'off' enough with clip-on headstock tuners to be noticeable to me, but with the Strobostomp it's much better. The multitude of various specialized things should cover any stringed instrument you've got, and the ability to arrange and modify them through the Peterson Connect website makes it much easier than through the pedal itself. The website and user interface isn't perfect, but it's pretty good.
All in all, it may seem silly to have a separate pedal just for tuning when the are headstock tuners as well as cheaper tuner pedals or built-in tuners included with multi-effect pedals, but the accuracy and flexibility you get with this beats them all.

I've been using this pedal in my pedalboard for about 3 years, and overall I love it. When I bought it, the other tuner that I was considering was the BOSS TU-3 Chromatic Tuner, which I was already familiar with.
For dead-on accuracy, the Peterson StroboStomp HD is the best, I don't think any other tuner comes close in a pedal format. The many customized "sweetenings" are really cool, though one does not need to use them in order use the pedal effectively, other than using the basic guitar or bass sweeteners. Works great on my Stratocaster as well as on my fretless jazz bass.
However, there are a few issues with the StroboStomp HD that I think could be improved on:
1. It needs to be more friendly for pedalboards. I had to peel off the rubber base on the bottom of the pedal in order to properly secure it on my pedalboard. Boss pedals are so much easier work with on pedalboards.
2. As some reviewers have noted, some of the buttons are oddly placed right where one would want to grab the pedal. This can be frustrating, and again, I have to give a nod to BOSS in terms of having a better form factor overall in terms of placement of...

I was looking for a tuner with a bright display that worked well for playing outdoor events and the Peterson StroboStomp is perfect. It is most importantly a super accurate tuner, but it's large, bright display makes it ideal for playing shows outdoors where bright sun can render other tuners unreadable. It's built like a tank too and will be part of my pedal board for years to come.
Update: After using this pedal for a year and a half there are a couple of drawbacks which other reviewers have also highlighted. The first is the rubber base. It is super heavy duty and works great on most surfaces protecting the surface as well as the pedal, however if you are mounting the pedal on a pedal board as in my application the rubber surface makes attaching velcro strips difficult. It holds for a bit and then needs to be replaced. I have gone through 2 or three replacement strips over the year. The second issue is the placement of the side buttons. This is actually not much of an issue if the pedal is mounted to a board but if you are having to pick up or grab the loose pedal you would hit those and have to find your setting again. Others have complained about the...
