yung iba kasi ang concern sa tuner kung tb saka siyempre tuning accuracy...
some tuners masyado malikot ang led or needle.
(wag ka pala tatapat sa electric fan pag nagtotono)  :lol:

pero ako for the simple reason na kailangan ko ng pedal tuner, hindi na yuyuko para mag tono... saka kailangan madali makita sa dilim hehe

You can't go wrong with a Korg Pitchblack Pedal Tuner with its price and true-bypass tuning capability.

Another vote goes to Korg DT-10 and Planet Waves Chromatic Pedal Tuner. All cheap and does the job very well.

You can easily get these tuner for only $3,000 less (overseas). Even the Boss TU-2's price has gone down due to the increased demand on the Pitchblack. TU-2 here is less than 4K and absolutely brand new.

I'm not sure if the DT-10 is true bypass or not but I can say that there's no noticeable tone suck... same thing with the Planet Waves Chromatic Tuner.

a tu 2 still is at 4k+ range, it isnt true bypass, but has good buffer, and you can also use it on a/y setup

i'm already using a TU2, 5.2k (not a TB fanatic)  :lol:
@PP it would cost 5.5k, they lowered their prices?

Guitar > Hikari comp > Morley Lynch wah > Subdecay Blackstar > (Barber Burn Unit - coming soon) > Dimetronics Mang Temi (Timmy clone) > Morley vol pedal > EHX DMM > Korg PitchBlack > BBE Sonic Stomp > Fender tube amp (hence all the dirt pedals hehe)

Gusto ko nga sana bawasan, but practically every pedal provides a 'service' I need. I'm currently disposing of the Morley vol pedal, pero kahit yun nagdadalawang-isip ako.

Tip: The PitchBlack isn't true bypass in the most honest sense of the word. While it does let signal through without power, it still has an internal buffer running when bypassed with power in the chain. It was wreaking havoc on my Blackstar, sobrang lakas ng hiss, so I put the Korg near the end of the chain and sent the Blackstar back to Brian Marshall for a PCB upgrade to current specs which he claims will lessen the noise (props to Subdecay Studios!).

I'll probably make some sort of in/out box with a tuner out in the future so both guitar and amp cables go in one place while the tuner is isolated from the chain.
