Members django5 Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 Should I? Is it worth it? Is the Pitchblack more accurate?And does the Pitchblack have the flat mode that the Boss has? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sbrett Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 In my opinion if you're playing in a band it may not be worth the upgrade just for tuning accuracy. If you didn't have a tuner I'd probably say to get the pitch black, but are you going to gain that much by selling one pedal tuner to get another? If you're buying it because it is easier to see, smaller, etc., then ok. Otherwise any tuner will get you in the ballpark live, but unless everyone in the band is using the same thing everyone will probably be 'off' a bit. A tuner can take you so far, but you have to use your ears to make other adjustments. I'd rather spend the money on something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members phishmarisol Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 I'm going to replace mine with a pitchblack or one of these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pbone Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 Yeah, that's what I did. I have my tuner first in the chain and I don't like buffers first in the chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rdm Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 Save your money. The TU-2 is just as accurate. The only way to get more accurate is to get a strobostomp. I have my TU-2 dead last in my chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members justintee Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 i made the change from a tu-2 to a korg dt-10, only because i found the tu-2 to track quite poorly.. i'm doubtful there's a 'flat mode'.. i haven't read up on the pitchblack recently and hence cannot recall, but i remember it to be pretty no-frills. check the website.

Members IRG Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 I just bought a TU-2 because my local dealer didn't have the Pitchblack, but I'm more than happy with it. If your TU-2 is working fine, I agree with the others, it isn't worth selling/trading etc. to get the Pitchblack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cadd99 Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 Well, the TU-2 is buffered and the Pitch Black is true bypass. That could make it worth it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MuffFuzz Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 The Pitchblack is well worth it. No tone degradation and very good accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frankiej Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 a tuner is a tuner. Ones TB and ones buffered...OMG!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MuffFuzz Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 a tuner is a tuner. Ones TB and ones buffered...OMG!!!!lol, I understand the sentiment, but from my experiance with the Pitchblack; it is really top of the line in quality. Then again I have yet to try the Boss TU2, but I have heard some negative things about it. And besides; I think the Pitchblack is cheaper anyways :cop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my TU-2 dead last in my chain. Pitchblack is actually 3x more accurate than the TU-2, BUT as said before, I got mine not for the accuraccy, but for TB, bigger display, strobe tuning, and a smaller foorprint. The accuracy was just a big plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tonedover Posted May 29, 2008 Members Share Posted May 29, 2008 does pitch black double as a power supply like tu-2? if not than not a good reason to change.... i have only had a tu-2 but I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pepperduck Posted May 29, 2008 Members Share Posted May 29, 2008 Keep your TU-2. Its definitely not worth it. The tone suck from Boss pedals isn't that bad anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members grayeyes777 Posted May 29, 2008 Members Share Posted May 29, 2008 the pitchblack looks so much cooler than the tu2 so you have to get it. it's smaller as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
