Pedal Tuners
Is this an item that you would say is really necessary for playing onstage, or is it more just a thing you can have if you want? From what I see they're pretty expensive, so I don't want to get one if it won't really help. But it does seem to me that it's pretty much the only way one could hope to tune up on stage, so I probably will have to get one regardless of the response. That said, what kind of pedal tuner should I get, guys?

I think I pretty much have it narrowed down to the Korg DT-10, Fender PT-100, or Boss TU-2. So out of this, go ahead and pick one. Personally I lean toward Korg because from what I understand they're the best in tuners but it's also expensive and I have to kind of question if it's worth that much more. So, any input would be helpful.

I use the Boss tuner pedal.....Works perfect for me. I'd say a tuner pedal is a must for having on stage.....When the stage lights start warming up a guitar, it will go out of tune a bit....Plus, you never know when you'll bump a tuner and knock a string out of tune...

I've been researching the same thing. I'm thinking of ordering a behringer tu-100. I've read reviews and it seems to be pretty decent. It goes for about $30 Canadian...can't beat the price. >LINK<

That Behringer looks like it might do the trick. For 30 bucks, as long as it has 12 notes on it I'm sold!

Seriously check out lamusic.ca
Great prices in Canadian dollars, and apparently free shipping.

The TU-2 works fine for stage and practice tuning, but I find that it's not accurate and precise enough for setting the intonation. For that, I use my PODxt since it's got a graphical display that shows more precisely the note actually is. Since I'm so anal about my tuning, I would go for >this tuner< if I was in the market for a new one.
If it's for your bass, be sure that it is designed for the bass as well. Some tuners aren't able to track notes from a bass very well. I know the TU-2 does though.

That one looks interesting, but it's pretty steep. And I'm not that particular about my tuning really, I mean I won't stop everything because I think I might be an eigth step off or somethingn (in fact I probably wouldn't notice), so as long as it's fairly accurate it's okay for me.

The only thing I'd add is that I assume the behringer tuner is made out of plastic like their other pedals..... if it is, it might be a little fragile for stage use? I'd probably break it...
I reckon the TU-2 would survive a nuclear blast - are you actually going to gig with it? I don't think you really save money in buying cheaper stuff for live use... it generally bites you in the ass... which costs you more than the $$$'s...

Good point. That's a lot of the reason why I bought that RAT pedal. Or at least that's how I justified it to my parents. Yeah, cheaping out is never good. Hmm. Well, I'm still hung up between the three, I'm going to have to get to a music store (which probably will have none of those pedals and will result in me buyng a new accordian amp).

I have to aggree with PRSPlaya, The Strobo-stomp is by far the best tuner you can get. If it were me, that would be the one. Its indistructable from what I've read. Pricey? yes, but you'll have it for a lifetime.

Also, I have looked at a ton of lower priced tuner pedals and what people have said about them have made me stay clear of them. Some of them have been very inaccurate. I highly reccomend stepping up and at least getting the Korg DT-10. Its only $90 US and its namebrand. Besides, you can spend $30 US and get a pedal you will break every month or step up and buy a $90 US pedal and have it last forever
