Rackmount Tuner Advice...

[Corevalay]

I just cleared out some space on my rack so I figure I'll throw a tuner in there. I really have no idea what would be good though. Any advice? I've been seeing alot of Korg talk, is there one particular that's better than another? Thanks!

I have a Boss Chromatic tuner pedal I'd be willing to trade if anyone has one.

Be careful with Korg. Only some models of theirs get a good rep. Some of them are quite horrid - especially for bass. I personally use the old Fender RT 1000 and it has served me flawlessly.

Good to know, thanks! Do you know which ones ARE the ones to avoid or buy?

The DTR1000 and 2000 have great reviews. The other ones (can't recall their titles) not so much. There's actually a 1000 for sale in accessories right now. It's going for what's about average for them.

I guess everyone has their own experiences with them but I have owned almost every single one of their rack tuners and never had an issue with any of these:
DTR1000
DTR-1
DTR-2
DT-1 PRO

So long as its getting enough signal (the DTR-2 in one of my racks needs a nice clean signal), they have always allowed me to tune flawlessly.

I would say they're the best you can grab for their price point unless you want to step up to a Peterson.

I have also tried the Sabine and the Behringer.

I have a DTR1000. It works great for bass, including the low B on my 5 string.

Is there a mute button or something on it for when you're tuning?

Yes.

racks? 1990's anybody?

DTR-1 (1994 (I think) right here...has served me well.

I've been using a Sabine RT7000 in my rack for years. I've never had a problem and it works well.
