Members satannica Posted January 23, 2011 Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 So, my TU-2 has gone missing. I have a feeling it's been nicked, but regardless, time for a new one anyways. So, which tuner should I get? Must haves:I want pedal style operation, like the TU-2Muted output whilst tuning, true bypass otherwiseWorks of standard Boss DC9v suppliesNice clear displaysWould prefer one that are happy tuning 5-string basses too. Must be reliable, accurate and quick - the TU-2 had some tracking problems when tuning 5-string basses. Budget is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Orion848 Posted January 23, 2011 Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 Another vote for the Korg Pitchblack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members satannica Posted January 23, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 That's pretty resounding Any love for the TU-3, TC Polytune or the Digitech Hardwire ones? I'm liking the look of the pitchblack though... I may just go for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members newholland Posted January 23, 2011 Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 i'd trust anything tc makes-- and it's a goodly small box with what appears to be a pretty good strobe... just haven't used it. the tu3 works great. the digitech.. mmr.. i haven't liked their pedals much.. but never used that thing either. but as a known entity-- the pitchblack is easier for me to see than the tu3.. the readout is pretty doggone huge- which is really helpful on dark stages- and the thing has a seemingly infinite battery life. kid you not- i got over a year with the super cheapies they sent with the thing... OH-- and i've intonated quite a few guitars with it, and i can certainly speak to it's accuracy... no complaints yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grunge782 Posted January 23, 2011 Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 Either the pitchblack or this if you want to save some money. http://www.guitarfetish.com/IN-STOCK-GFS-Electronics-Digital-Tuner-single-Footpedal-Space-SUPER-BRIGHT_p_1084.html It works fine for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crunchtime Posted January 23, 2011 Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 If you don't mind a clip on, get a Snark. I just got one for $11 on Amazon and love it. It is faster than my Boss Tu-2 and very accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members satannica Posted January 23, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 I definitely want something on my board rather than clip. Looked around, I think you're right. Pitchblack it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sheik_Yerbouti Posted January 23, 2011 Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 [video=youtube;9JdM-fjn9IU] Turbo Tuner FTW. It RAPES the Pitchblack on tracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NaturalBornBoy Posted January 23, 2011 Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 Turbo Tuner or Peterson Strobostomp II (although I think they've discontinued the II and have released a Strobostomp Classic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gspointer Posted January 23, 2011 Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 I have a peterson strobo-stomp. It never gets used anymore. I bought a TC polytune when they first came out, it is outstanding. The only other tuner I would consider is the Turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NinjaRaf Posted January 23, 2011 Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 Pitch black. I have no complaints about mine. Though, if you like your tuner, you could go with the hardwire one...I think the display is similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GuitarGearDemos Posted January 26, 2011 Members Share Posted January 26, 2011 A PolyTune should be arriving this week for me to review. I'm pretty excited to try it out and I'll post the video here for others to make their mind up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lostmenoggin Posted January 26, 2011 Members Share Posted January 26, 2011 Turbo Tuner FTW. It RAPES the Pitchblack on tracking. WANT. I have an older Planet Waves pedal tuner and the LEDs give out some kind of interference that comes through my amp unless I put it on standby. Really annoying..

Members soundgardener75 Posted January 26, 2011 Members Share Posted January 26, 2011 If you have an iPhone, you can try the Polytune app on iTunes before deciding. My vote is for anything TC Electronics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OverdrivenEL34s Posted January 26, 2011 Members Share Posted January 26, 2011 hardwire has a new polyphnic tuner i curently use a polytune. can't go wrong with pitch black, which i also own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members satannica Posted January 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 26, 2011 I went for the Pitchblack. I did like the look of the Turbo Tuner, but it's double the cost of the Korg and this is only for stage use. I already have a Korg DTR tuner that I use for setups.
