Decent deal on this tuner as the standard Pitchblack usually runs more than this....$49.95 this week at AMS

That is a great deal, I sold a used one for $80 last year. These were $ 120 at the time.

I didn't see any size dimensions for it. Is it a little bigger than a Boss TU-2?

Nevermind, I watched a YouTube demo and got a better idea.

I'm in for one, thanks for posting this deal. I've got the smaller one (and love it) on my pedalboard and was always leaving it at our reheasal space. It'll be nice to be able to keep one of these tuners at home.

It's discontinued, thus the price.

They're apparently still keeping the overrated regular Pitchblack, though. [shrug]

Weren't these cheaper when they dumped the red ones a while back? I can't remember.

AMS seems to be getting a lot of discontinued stomp gear lately and dumping it hard.

This is a HUGELY more visible unit than the original, to judge from the videos.

Features (and footprint) are probably excessive, but the increased visual access is very definitely worthwhile.

I bought the red one... and I can't even remember :-(, but I'm thinking it was about the same as this, $50. Pretty nice tuner actually.

We're getting old.

Yeah, I think it was about the same price. I came really close to getting one of them then, but didn't, and it would have been because it was $50 -- sort of beyond my limit for floor stuff I probably won't use much.

Thankfully (for my budget anyway) I haven't come across anything in this thread for quite a long time that I just couldn't resist... but there's always tomorrow :-)
