Members DarkCide Posted August 2, 2006 Members Share Posted August 2, 2006 I need a tuner to use in a rack and also that is accurate enough for guitar intonation. Is the Behringer BRT2000 good enough for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Inazone Posted August 2, 2006 Members Share Posted August 2, 2006 I was under the impression that they haven't shipped yet. I'm picking one up as soon as they are available. Being that it's a Behringer product, I'm not expecting much, but if it actually delivers everything that the specs promise, it will be an absolute steal.

Members DarkCide Posted August 2, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 2, 2006 People seem to like it and it's dirt cheap. Especially considering the Korg's are $200+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also work on-the-fly with the manual TAP tempo function Integrated, switchable racklights with high-power LEDs for absolute control over your rack gear 11 different tuner modes (e. g. "chromatic", "banjo" or open tunings) based on 12 equally tempered tones Manual or automatic A-tone standard pitch calibration from 428 Hz to 452 Hz in 1-Hz increments, transposable by a maximum of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members succubus Posted August 2, 2006 Members Share Posted August 2, 2006 Sorry for the third post.It certainly isn't getting good reviews. People say its slow. Quality:It's built well, looks good, has great features, a cool light, multiple routing/muting options, a metronome, you can make it look like KIT the Trans Am from NIGHT RIDER.... But it is one of the SLOWEST responding tuners, and inaccurate tuners I have every had to deal with. It doesn't pick up on the notes your playing, or the changes from note to note. It's like it has to clear its memory every time. It got to the point that I pulled my boss tuner pedal out and sat it on top of my rack and ignored the Behringer. After getting off the road, I took and compared my Boss tuner, online tuner, a guitar mounted tuner, a Peterson strobe at the studio, and the Behringer... ALL of the other ones agreed. The Behringer had me almost 2 cents sharp of 440.. it was like 441.5. Very, very disappointing.

Members Inazone Posted August 2, 2006 Members Share Posted August 2, 2006 That's not very encouraging. The idea of having a tuner and metronome in one rack space was very appealing to me, and since I'm assembling a stereo rig, two channels would have been perfect. Crap.

Members succubus Posted August 2, 2006 Members Share Posted August 2, 2006 yes, discouraging. Someone here is going to have to get one and give us a good review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DarkCide Posted August 3, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 3, 2006 Don't get discouraged yet. I've read reviews from people who loved that tuner.Opinions vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FastGoKart Posted August 3, 2006 Members Share Posted August 3, 2006 Get the StroboStomp and be done with it. Far more accurate and I think that having a tuner in your rack is way overrated. I used to have one, but I find that having it on the pedalboard in front of me is much more useful than in the rack behind me. I would not set my intonation with a rack tuner......the Peterson Strobostomp is the tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members succubus Posted August 3, 2006 Members Share Posted August 3, 2006 I don't have a pedal board, just a rack. At least the signal never leaves the rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FastGoKart Posted August 3, 2006 Members Share Posted August 3, 2006 The pro way to do this would be to have your guitar go right to the rack (as you are now...good stuff), then buffer and split the signal (many ways to do this, BS-2, GRX-4 from Axess are 2 I like) and send one side to the rest of your rack and the other back out out to the pedalboard (or just to the floor for you since you don't have pedalboard) and have your tuner right there. Tuner is out of line, your signal is buffered, and you have no BS between the guitar and the rack. If you have a rack, how do you control it with out anything on the floor?? You must have something, no?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FastGoKart Posted August 3, 2006 Members Share Posted August 3, 2006 Per my last post, using the GRX-4 as your buffer splitter would actually give you the ability to do silent tuning if you had a MIDI controller. And obviously, silent tuning is much cooler and pro and tuning with the volume up..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And obviously, silent tuning is much cooler and pro and tuning with the volume up..... This is exactly what I use and run it to my Strobostomp (which is a GREAT tuner). I also run from the Strobostomp out to my Banshee so it doesn't need to be inline with my signal path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DarkCide Posted August 3, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 3, 2006 I have a rack and an FCB1010 that controls. Even my noise gate pedal is in my rack. I avoid having anything at my feet other than the FCB so a rack tuner is more convenient. Does the StroboStomp have a Buzz Feiten tunning mode?

Members FastGoKart Posted August 3, 2006 Members Share Posted August 3, 2006 Yes it has BF mode....and as far as I know, no rack tuner does. I used to have a rack tuner (Korg). It was not as accurate, no BF mode, and took up a whole rack space. Further I had to turn around to tune and I did not have silent tuning back then...... I will never go back. Just suggestions for you from someone that has done both. Good luck with whatever solution you decide on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members succubus Posted August 3, 2006 Members Share Posted August 3, 2006 I have a midimate and some homemade midi switching boards.I'm working on a new remote looper. I think splitting the signal out to a tuner pedal give me some possibiities I haven't thought of before. I also have a second rack, which houses a Pod XT Pro. The Pod has a tuner built in and its own remote switcher board. But it doesn't have the sound of the Marshall and analog effects. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members succubus Posted August 3, 2006 Members Share Posted August 3, 2006 Funny that it turns out i already have a split signal.The Dunlop rack mounted wah has a thru jack. Plugged it into a Boss TU-2. Problem solved. And I was going to pick up a Korg tuner tomorrow.Thanks. Now if I only new what what a BF tuning mode was.

Members guitarNed Posted August 14, 2006 Members Share Posted August 14, 2006 I owned the behringer rack tuner for a day or two. I returned it to my local shop & put the money toward a Boss TU-2. I liked the light, liked the build and look and the features. In practice, I found it way too twitchy. The lights would twitch back and forth, making it very difficult to actually tune my guitar. I'd say Behringer had everything right except the tuning part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Matter-Eater Lad Posted August 16, 2006 Members Share Posted August 16, 2006 seems like, to me, a tuner is something you wouldn't want to skimp on. I guess you could say that about any aspect of your rig, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SammyT Posted August 17, 2006 Members Share Posted August 17, 2006 I have this unit in my rack. For the money, its amazing, comes with a rack light which I didnt know about. The tuning is pretty much spot on. It is a bit laggy in responce, but ive not had a problem tuning wise, where it really matters. Id definatly reccommend it if your on a tight budget. Hell, id recommend it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Inazone Posted August 17, 2006 Members Share Posted August 17, 2006 I was emailing back and forth with someone who bought a Behringer. I was really curious about the dual outputs, thinking that maybe with the optional footswitch, I could use it a bit like an A/B box. He said that it won't work like that, as the second output just passes reference tones and metronome clicks. Anyone know if the Sabine rack tuners (dual output version) can send the guitar signal to two amps at once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
