Delberthot Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Still happy with my Korg DT-10 after many years. If/when it packs in I'll probably go for one of the newer models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyquipment Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 i've got both the TU3 on the bass and polytune on the guitar - both fantastic pedals, get either. i've had TU2 before as well but it isnt as accurate as the TU3 (only literally marginally) still a good tuner though!

rumour6 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I've used Seiko tuners for 20yrs... current one (not floor mount) is a SAT800 Heavy duty one.. does the job on 5's and 6's no problem... I think you can get them from Amazon for about £17!! which is less than half what I paid a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeponehandloose Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 pitchblack plus , for me. true bypass, accurate to 1 cent, open tunings , chromatic etc, plus 4 programmable ones. best thing is its also an A/B switch for 2 insruments, tunings assignable to either or both.

mazdah Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1357469108' post='1922900'] Jeez the Boss pedal is an antique these days! I like a bit of retro and have an Atari 2600 with 100 games but seriously get a TC Polytune Thom [/quote] Just like P or J bass. Boss just does the job. And will be for another 20-30 years [quote name='ThomBassmonkey' timestamp='1358033052' post='1932264'] As for Boss tuners, just because they're the standard, it doesn't make them the best. On [url="http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?ProductId=1046"]their own product page[/url] it says they're accurate to +/- 1 cent.the polytune (in single string mode) is accurate to +/- 0.5 cent. A brief look at the prices on google shows them at about the same, it's a no-brainer to go for the more accurate tuner that has a polyphonic mode and true bypass over the one that has no benefits IMO. [/quote] As for accuracy... incredibly well trained human ear is unable to hear less than 5 cents difference. Average human ear starts to hear that something may be wrong from 10 cents. No way you can tell if the bass is 0,5 or 1 or even 3 cents out of tune unless you have super powers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 The tuner on my TC Staccato amp was the best I've used. Unfortunately it went with the amp when I sold it. Now I use a Pitch Black. It's very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I have a Polytune mini and a Pitchblack. I don't like the display on the Polytune much, but both are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I've just picked up a used Polytune on EBay. I was a bit confused by the polyphonic thing till I realised I wasn't in bass mode :-D I'm really impressed, and especially love the way it automatically switches from poly to chromatic depending on whether you strum or pluck - really intuitive.
