Members lightning_rider Posted June 10, 2006 Members Share Posted June 10, 2006 I'm looking at the new Planet Waves pedal tuner, the Fender PT-100, and the Korg DT10. I'm leaning torwards the Fender one since it's only $45 on Musicians friend compared to the PW which is $80 and the Korg which is $90, but does anybody have any experience with its accuracy? Any pros/cons on any of these? Thanks. -JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members loofery Posted June 10, 2006 Members Share Posted June 10, 2006 what you should do is buy a nice used korg from someone on ebay or here. it'll be worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AaronD Posted June 11, 2006 Members Share Posted June 11, 2006 All I can say is that I love my Fender PT-100. It's as accurate as my handheld Boss tuner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mistersuperfly Posted June 11, 2006 Members Share Posted June 11, 2006 I have the Fender... and although it may be ok for a bit, I'd say it is a bad design, not accurate enough, and is built poorly.I have to keep mine out of my signal path because the switch is so cheap that it's own weight causes it to turn on and off by itself. Because it is not accurate enough, and the afforementioned cheapness issue I'm about to have to get the Planet Waves... or the Peterson Strobostomp (If I can justify that! people here are helping that process though ). And because I have to replace it, that means that I lost money because I didn't buy something I wouldn't have had to replace in the first place.My friend has the DT10, and it is awesome... way better than the fender and is built like a tank. I'd say it's a toss up between the PW and the DT10, don't even consider the Fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TIKILOCKEDOUT Posted June 11, 2006 Members Share Posted June 11, 2006 I'm long overdue to buy a tuner but when I do ( soon ) it will be the DT-10 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wpcorgan Posted June 12, 2006 Members Share Posted June 12, 2006 I bought the DT-10 a few months ago. It has been great. It tracks well, it is tough and there have been no issues at all. Couldn't ask for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boogiesurfer Posted June 12, 2006 Members Share Posted June 12, 2006 I've had lots of tuners, and now have the Peterson VS-II. It is by far the best ever! It allows you to be in such "perfect" tune, it is amazing. Don't be "afraid" of learning to use the strobe effect, it is quite easy. The "guitar temperment" mode is especially nice (what I use all the time), and although all tunings are basically compromises, if you have good intonation on your guitars, it will make them sound better. The Strobostomp, which is basically the same technology in a pedal, should give you similar results:thu: You get what you pay for:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people have their tuner in a pooper looper anyway ... just stick the Korg in a tone cul de sac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 4Kenoath Posted June 12, 2006 Members Share Posted June 12, 2006 Originally posted by Mistersuperfly No, The Planet Waves and Strobostomp are. The PW tuner is not true bypass.The SS is the only TB pedal tuner on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AmitSadras Posted June 12, 2006 Members Share Posted June 12, 2006 yeah but im realized that you can put the tuner in you second out or you headphones out jack in your preamp and it dont get into your tone or your FX loop in my situation i have the KOCH Preamp i can handle it..

Members Lanefair Posted June 12, 2006 Members Share Posted June 12, 2006 Is the DT-10 a tone sucker? I've had mine first in chain since forever. You make me want to A/B it now.... The silent tuning on it is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bloo Posted June 12, 2006 Members Share Posted June 12, 2006 i've had a DT10 for a couple of years now and the buffer is great. it's the first on my chain and i do not notice any significant tone loss. i keep seeing it for cheaper than $90, try another retailer since i usually see them cost less than the Boss TU2. go for Korg.

Members bentley Posted June 12, 2006 Members Share Posted June 12, 2006 Since touring solidly since November we've had a few Korg DT-10s crap out on us, switches mostly, sometimes the chip has gone gaga. TU-2s are far more rugged Even better is at bypass loop or a volume pedal with a BOSS TU-12H running off it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jammer48 Posted June 13, 2006 Members Share Posted June 13, 2006 I use the DT-10. It's accurate enough I suppose, but the thing that gets me is it never locks dead on to the green LED. It always fluctuates either + or - just a wee bit. I'm wondering if machine heads with a higher gear ratio on the guitars would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I don't have a Strobostomp, but I do have a Peterson VS-II, and it's a great tuner! FAR more accurate than the Boss TU-12 I have on my board... but for live use - and I don't play live very often, that's good enough for me. I was looking at a Planet Waves tuner at the store the other day - it's bigger than I thought it was going to be when I saw the pictures. If I ever need to replace the tuner on my board, I would either go with that or the Strobostomp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boogiesurfer Posted June 13, 2006 Members Share Posted June 13, 2006 Yes Phil, it is great. One thing that few seem to bring up is the accuracy of the Petersons vs. most everything else. Most tuners have an accuracy of +/- one cent. The petersons are +/- 0.1 cent! Ten times the accuracy, and it does make a difference:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members surfcat Posted June 13, 2006 Members Share Posted June 13, 2006 Nobody likes the Boss? Just wondering-I have a handheld model Boss that I like, but a pedal would be cool in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Well for me, the Peterson is the only tuner that I've ever owned that I felt was accurate enough to do intonation setups with. And in the studio, I'm pretty picky about pitch, so I definitely wanted a good tuner with great accuracy - the Peterson has never let me down.
