What kind of tuner pedals do you use? what do you recommend? I think the Boss seems to be industry standard but i have read some things about it sucking tone. How does the Behringer (TU100 or TU300) compare? Any suggestions?

The other guitarist in one of my bands uses a Behringer- seems to do the job fine, although I'd just plump for a Korg DT-10 or Pitchblack for better bypass, constructiion and mojo points.

Korg DT-10 is what I use. Dunno if I'd buy a Pitchblack if I had to do it again. Considering I don't use many pedals it's smallness is of no advantage to me.

I love this pedal tuner.
It is SO easy to see no matter how light or dark
It's fairly large too

Oh...it also has 2 "out" so you can split your chain

I use the Zoom GFX707 Mk 1 as a tuner, plugged into the line out if the amp has one or using a two-way switch to take the guitar out of circuit while I tune. Clunky but it's what I have. I like the look of that Sabine thing.
What's cheap and good? DT-10 is £20-£70 here. Boss TU-2 is £55-£70, TU12 £91. Behringer TU300 is £19-£20

i use the planet waves tuner it rawks
the boss tuner is good if you have a large pedalboard because from my understanding the buffer helps kinda push the signal through the other pedals

I'd check out a pitchblack....looks like the best one on the market right now to me.

Anyone using the TU300? I play bass, and the tuner in my GT-6B works great, but when I get a guitar I'll need a pedal tuner, and the Behringer seems to be at the right price.

peterson strobe-o-stomp. easy, huge display, no problem to read, sensitive (without being too sensitive), and accurate. pricier than a boss, but cheaper than a real strobe.

Lol, nice one.
I use one of them orange ones, its so interesting i dont even remember the brand... cost me £50 as well.
Not for much longer though, i'm sick of arseing around with inconsistency in sound/7 pedals and have purchased a multi-effects. Easy life innit.

Can't say I'd heard of Belcat before, but I see they do a couplea cheap effects too.
