not that there's anything exciting about tuners

but i stumbled upon this and thought i'd post it, is it new ? it's cheaper than the other standards like the TU and the korg alternative (the big one)

doesn't look as cool as the bigger one but i think it's mxr box size ?

what was the cool one with the fancy display you posted a while back?
i've actually been looking into getting a decent pedal tuner, but they can be expensive. it's hard for me to justify spending $100+ on something that doesn't make cool sondz.

this one's priced like â‚¬69 or so, the other one, i think it was by artec and called 'dots' or the dot or something lol

oh, this one's $90. i guess that's not too bad.
what makes one tuner better than another? my band teacher in high school bought one that was well over a grand.

Korg DT-10 is the you're thinking of.

I think this new "pitchblack" is also true bypass.

If your needing a cheap pedal tuner, I've got one of the Fender ones and it's been working great for years. It's only about $50 USD.

Artec Big Dot tuner

Pretty decent for Â£35 - more accurate the boss and true bypass. I used to use one at band practises (our singer owned it) nd yeh it was pretty funky looking.

But end of the day still a tuner. that pitchblack one is nice cos its all compact.

I've had my eye on the new Korg for a second porta-board setup that Cindi has been trying to persuade me to put together...for my back's sake. I like how small it is, reckon the half-strobe mode would be cool on a dark stage.

By the way, don't be fooled by Artec's affordable "Analog Delay". Local HC forum bud Seifukusha took one apart months ago and found it to be digital...Not a crummy delay, just not what the thing says.

Appealing, I love how small it is.

I really like this tuner. You get your choice of 4 really easy to read displays. However the entire case is plastic. Shouldn't be a big issue with most musicians and local bands, it seems sturdy enough, but almost everyone I've shown it to is put off by the casing.

i think its cool. good size display, and compact. i kinda like the buffer of my tu2 at the beginning of my chain, though.

Seeing as my DT-10 is my only pedal besides my 6100 footswitch these days, real estate isn't a chief concern for me.

You sure? It's a very good sounding digital delay if it is. Mine is on ebay though.
