Delberthot Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I'm going wireless which means that I want to have a rack tuner instead of one on the floor so there are no cables anywhere near me.Trouble is hardly anyone seems to be making them anymore. I really don't want to spend £300 for the Peterson and that leaves me with the Behringer which is meant to be rotten and the White Horse one that Gear 4 Music sell. Does anyone else still make them? I had hoped to buy myself another Fender one but don't see them anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBobTTD Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 You are right - the Behringer tuner is rotten. I am not sure a rack mount tuner is the way to go. I have a tuner out on my amp...I'm thinking of putting my Korg pitchblack on my rack, ie attached with cable ties, Velcro or something to a rack blanking panel. That way, I can use it on the floor if I so wish and I avoid having the extra weight of the rack tuner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 This Gumtree ad for a Fender RT-1000 is a month old but may be worth checking to see if it's still available: http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/fender-rt-1000-rackmount-guitar-and-bass-tuner/105539630 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I just link my tuner to the tuner out socket on the amp, via a short lead, and leave it on the top of the speaker cab, so still only have the one cable between bass and amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I had an abysmal gig once down in a famous rock venue in Glasgow using the house back-line with built-in Behringer tuner. Bloody thing couldn't give a constant reading all night, my on-stage was wrecked by a loud drummer and it left me feeling paranoid all night that I was out of tune... no one ever mentioned anything so it was just in my head but it spoilt the gig for me. There's a [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KORG-DTR-2000-Rack-Tuner-Excellent-Condition-/160854211430?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2573a87b66"]Korg DTR 2000[/url] on the bay just now. I've never tried one but they are supposed to be quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Don't Korg still do something like a DTR1000 or 2000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike257 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I used to have a Korg DTR-1000, great tuners. I had a mute footswitch on the floor for it though, and eventually decided that if I was going to have something on the floor anyway, it might as well just be the tuner!

Delberthot Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Thanks everyone - think I'm going to go with the rack tray idea and attach my tuner and wireless receiver to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
