Joyo Tuner IS a Korg Pitchblack less $30

1. It's a tuner!
2. Korg is hardly a struggling, garage-shop, pedal builder
3. Did Joyo steal the functionality of tuner?... See #1
4. If its the aesthetic that people are so bent about, how many pedal builders use generic hand painted housings?...

Bulk manufacturing shares casings and component designs all the time. Korg probably benefited by this as well so that they could lower cost and make even more of the $70 as profit.

I will pay the $40 bucks for the tuner, if it craps out for knock-off quality then I will learn my lesson. If not then I just saved money to put toward an actual boutique EFFECT pedal... and didn't waste it on a tuner (see #1) I could care less that it looks like a pitchblack. It's a tuner that gets pretty solid reviews for a price that works for my budget. (see #1)

Maybe I'll paint it grey and call it the MonoChromatic! Taking orders...
