Just found this, looks pretty cool. Musicians friend already has it up but it says they're not expected in until march. Only iffy thing is none of the sites tell its accuracy. Still looks pretty cool though. Seems skinny and true bypass.

Cool idea to make it smaller, but that is such an ugly enclosure!

its true bypass and you can power up other pedals just like boss TU-2

Curious to see what the street price is going to be for that

They seem to got everything right. Excellent.

I've been planning to pick up a DT-10, but I might wait and grab this. It's tiny..

Its a ****ing tuner.



I'm curious about footswitch capability. It would be nice if it had a mute feature.

I like.

bye bye tu2.

 

[SouthernShred]

damnit, I just bought a DT-10 and this thing looks to be about half the size

 

[Frenster]

If only they mentioned how accurate it is.

 

[drod2045]

seconding it may be replacing my dt-10

 

[Ben C.]

Personally, I think this looks particularly cheap and toy-ish compared to the DT-10. Most likely the accuracy will be the same, so the only "advantage" would be true-bypass... even though there's no problem with the buffer in the DT-10 which is excellent.

As far as it being smaller, the DT-10 is 4.09" wide, with top jacks. This new tuner is 2.68" wide, with side jacks. So the width difference is actually negligible / no different. In fact, if you're using G&H rt. angle plugs, the new Korg will probably be wider.

Still waiting for the stompable Turbo Tuner...

Anyone pick up on one of these tiny Korg tuners yet? Any thing to report would be interesting. Tone suckage? Accuracy? Stompablity?

Looks like there's also a Pitchblack+ which has more options:
