...canīt decide between those two.
I know i canīt go wrong with the BOSS but the FENDER is half the price.
I could only find reviews about the old Fender model the pt-10 but not about the new one so if somebody is using the Fender please
tell me about it. |

A good tuner is a great investment. |

bypass jack that always outputs the input signal, and a separate output jack that can be muted. http://www.zzounds.com/item--KORDT10 |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Tasmania, Australia | | | I have owned a few Fender PT-100's and find two faults with them.
1) The black plastic cover always seem's to slip of the bottom part of the pedal.
2) The PT-100 does not tune the open low B on a five string.
Apart from that, they do a great job (easy to read, fast, accurate, mute switch)
Does anyone know if the TU-2 can tune the open low B? If so, then I'm changing. |

Metal? Also, if the Fender won't track a low B, then you can't even tune a real bass with it.

I gave my last Fender PT to my sister, because the plastic cover kept jumping off, no matter how much gaffer tape I used (same roll of gaff held my driver side mirror onto my car for six weeks).
Sound like the Boss or the Korg DT10 are the way to go for any five string player. I have the Korg GA-30, and its great for the low B. |
