I Have just purchased a Peterson Stroboplus HD tuner.
I push the dial until the sweetened part comes up and then I dial through the abbreviations but there is no Steelguitar abbreviations there like SE9 ect?
I was told they are meant to be built in so am I doing something wrong? |

| They are supposed to be on there. Mine came with several steel guitar presets already loaded. You should just have to scroll the wheel to Sweetener, click the wheel to make a change and scroll through the options. Like you said SE9 is steel guitar E9 tuning. |

Hi Paul,
If you bought it used, the previous owner may have configured the tuner to suit their own needs by editing the Sweetener list, but it's easy to reverse that.
You never lose your factory Sweeteners or temperaments, the factory settings cannot be erased no matter what you do.
They just "live" in a different area of the tuner's memory when you load a custom Sweetener into the StroboPLUS.
The tuner stores custom Sweeteners in the user configuration section, and factory Sweeteners in the Factory section.
If there are only a few custom temperaments in the User configuration section, that's all you will see, initially.
However:
You can swap over and back between the user and the factory configuration pretty easily on the tuner itself (see below).
But it's much more convenient to populate the tuner's user configuration with *all* the Sweeteners or temperaments you need (factory or custom or shared or a mix of all three types), omitting the ones you don't need.
That way everything is on one list and is more convenient, we call this a custom configuration as opposed to the factory configuration.
This user configuration is also stored on the Peterson server, should you ever acquire another Peterson, you can load an identical configuration onto that tuner too, so you can never lose anything, even custom settings.
How to swap configurations:
The StroboPLUS HD has two modes, FDR (factory default settings) and USR (custom user settings + selected factory settings if desired).
While the unit is powered on, hold down the power button and then the mode button together momentarily (power button slightly ahead of mode)
You'll see a screen with a large C and 3 characters in the upper right corner. Press in on the dial. 3 characters will flash.
The characters will either show USR or FDR.
When either is flashing, rotate the dial to select the other.
I would advise you to register and configure your tuner, it is the best way to have all your favourite temperaments on one list.

The easiest way to configure, update firmware etc is to use the Peteron Connect feature of their website, connecting the pedal to PC or mac with data USB cable, which John Norris covers in first thread (I think)
