Had one myself, before getting a Boss. TBH wish I hadn't sold it, as I found it tracked better than the TU-2, though obviously no way near as robust.

Delberthot Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I've got one of the Korg pedal tuners. Its really good and I actually prefer it to the Fender rack one I used to have.It seems to be a lot more stable. [url="http://www.absolutemusic.co.uk/shop/view_product.php?product=kordt10"]http://www.absolutemusic.co.uk/shop/view_p...product=kordt10[/url] not the cheapest but many cheaper tuners are only suitable for guitar due to the lack of repsonse on lower frequencies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanFold Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I wouldn't trust them behringer ones, I tried 2 of them... they struggled to get the low E and sometimes A, So i didn't even wanna try it at a gig... Just remember, you get what you pay for... cheap parts will cut your signal down. save n get the korg one, or the boss... IMO anyway...

I have a TU-2 (suspect bought at same time as your one originally) and it tracks down to my low A without trouble. Its in chromatic mode, not the spinny light mode.

MusicalJuggernaught Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Tried the Artec Big Dots Tuner..... is brilliant got one to replace my korg one which had given up the ghost.....is really clear and is a little bit different, is very repsonsive and picks up the lower tunings well as i tune to DCGF in one of the bands i am in and this works a treat. Cheaper than the TU-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnylager Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 The Korg Pitchblack has a few fans on here, accurate to +/- 1 cent, the TU-2 has a few too, +/- 3cents. I don't know about the Big Dot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
