| | |  Stompbox Tuners - Boss or Korg?
Sign in to disble this ad
Hi, I'm in the market for a good, solid stompbox tuner. Basically, I need it for standard tuning, drop-D tuning, and (rarely) for flat tuning.
It needs to have really bright LEDs for tuning on stage, it must allow for silent tuning, has to be built tough, etc.
I can't try one out (it will be a Christmas present) so I need your opinions on the following tuners:
Korg DT-10: 
or...
Boss TU-2: 
Keep in mind that the Korg is slightly cheaper than the Boss. Any help is greatly appreciated.

IMHO, they are equal in accuracy, speed and reliability. |

They are equal in all aspects really apart from price and sexiness...The Korg wins the sexy category hands down  ...Just looks so much more appealing, IMO, which is why I went for it. |

I love my Boss TU-2. It is the only pedal I use. |

.... Okay it ACTS like one but it is NOT. It cannot even power itself. |
