Question about Peterson Flip Strobe Tuner

[Jim Cohen]

If I leave the guitar plugged into its input, will it wear the battery down, or only if the tuner is turned on?

Thanks in advance.
Jim

Based on my constant usage and the fact that batteries last 6 mos or more I say that battery drain only occurs when the device is on.

I`m pretty sure playing through the tuner will change your signal and sound.

[Jim Cohen]

Thanks, Dag, I don't play through it. I run a separate line out of my VP to it.

[Dag Wolf]

Okay. Maybe there is a auto-off? Then again if it’s receiving a signal it probably won’t turn off.

Auto-Power-Off
Press and hold the SETUP button while switching the StroboFlip on. Peterson Strobe Tuners - Flip keypad save highlighted
The Auto-Power-Off screen appears.
Using the arrow buttons, set the StroboFlip’s Auto-Power Off timer to an operating time period between 2 and 35 minutes, after which the tuner will shut down automatically, then press the SAVE button. Peterson Strobe Tuners - Flip Auto Off 10 Min screen Peterson Strobe Tuners - Flip Auto Off disabled screen
To disable this control, press the arrow button until the indicator level reaches “DISABLE,” then press the SAVE button.
Press the SET UP button again. To save this new setting, press the SAVE button twice. You will now need to power the tuner off in order to exit this menu. The StroboFlip’s factory default is “DISABLE”.

Hi Jim,
When used with batteries, the StroboFlip only uses power when switched on. You should be able to leave your guitar plugged in if you so wish, just press the off button when you're done.

I don't plug into it, it's just mounted on my (steel's) leg.
