Title: Whirlwind Chromatic Tuner
Post by: Woody on February 15, 2011, 10:20:54 AM
Probably most of you don't play in standard tuning, but this new tuner is very exciting to me. It has a bigger display for my crappy eyes and only tunes in standard. Mint!

Korg Pitchblack tuner has a big display, and looks like its less expensive. Also more accurate than a Boss TU2 (I don't know how accurate the Whirlwiind tuner is)

Been using the pitchblack for a couple years now, it's held up to a fair amount of abuse. It's a solid tuner.

Can it be calibrated for 432HZ?

I believe it can.
I am also a happy pitchblack user.

It works for me...

Helps to keep the other strings dampened, and play the string softly, without any 'clank' (hard attack).

The Korg takes a second to start tracking your note, not a big deal.

The Turbo Tuner is really amazing and since it's so much less and more durable that the Peterson I'd say it's far and away the best possible pedal tuner out there.
