Need a new tuner... Please give your opinions!

I've had a TU-2 for years now and it's crapping out. I've heard good things about the Korg Pitchblack & the TU-3 looks good. Also saw the Morley Accu-Tuner on mf.com & it looks cool too. Am I missing something? I don't want to spend more than $100.

Buy a Turbo-Tuner. If you want to save a few bucks, buy a Korg PitchBlack.

I've been really happy with my Korg Pitchblack. The display is easy to read in bright sunlight or dark stages.

I'm a fan of the TU-3 myself. Easy to use, easy to read IMO

Sonic Research Turbo Tuner. Relatively cheap for such high accuracy (great for doing your own intonation work, which I regularly check and correct every 6-9 months or so) and it works like a champ.

I want a Turbo Tuner bad enough to consider spending the 2 hundo for it but the last line of the OP's OP is....

If you had the TU-2 and liked it,...get the TU-3 from a retailer with a good return policy. If you hate it return or exchange it for the Pitchblack.

Actually it's only $130, which is admittedly more than the OP wants to spend, but IMHO it's worth the little bit of money over their set maximum limit. Or you could always find one used on rare occasions.

Turbo Tuner.

Hands down the best tuner out there. U.S. made. Chances are, when you call to place your order, you'll be talking to the guy that makes them.

I picked up the ST-200 stomp box. I never leave home without it.
