Tuner with jacks on the top edge - what're my options?

IanSavage

Right, to make the pedalboard I'm building that little bit more useable I could do with a tuner with the input and output jacks (and ideally the power jack, if there is one - not essential) on the top. The ideal candidate will also be of a small footprint and run off a 9V battery AND standard power supply, and MUST track bass well down to a low B.

 

I've seen the Korg DT10 (would do the job, on the large side though), Pitchblack + (ditto) and the Guyatone MT3 (I think - small, but seemingly a bit rare and pricey when they do come up). What am I missing?

Peterson StroboStomp. Not sure about low B though....

IanSavage

Bloody hell, at that price it should tune blue whales!

Coxx PT tuner.
You may have to Google it.

Ashdown Bassometer. Looks a bit big and its very orange but all the jacks on the back. Tuner aimed at bassists so, presumably, does low B.

Yes it will track that low just fine.

It has a DI built in too and is a cut above almost every other tuner on the planet.

There's always this overwhelming success of a product. Pretty sure there will be dealers paying you to take one.

LOL

Complete cluster fuck of a product.

Anyone with a stage big enough to use one probably has a guitar tech working for them.

Thanks for those guys - that PT looks like it might do the job, now to find one!

I always find a guitar tuned using a peterson always sounds so much more musical and chords sound so much sweeter.

Didn't get a PT back when I should have, they now don't seem to exist - anyone selling anything that'd fit the bill or got any other suggestions (Dr Green Tune-Up looks a good candidate, if a bit expensive)?

Would a Polytune Mini do? Jacks on the sides but it's really narrow!

IanSavage

There's reasons and reasons for top edge - mainly for pedalboard fitment and so that when I eventually get a Line 6 G30 if it DOES die mid-gig I've got access to the tuner input for a cable without ripping pedals off the board!

DT-10 as you say quite big but my bassist has used his for 6 years and it tracks low b no problem.

It does indeed; that's what I'm using at the minute it's just a SMIDGE too big to allow everything to fit on a PT Mini though, and I need to save stage space (in a five-piece with a Hammond and sax occasionally playing pubs, my board needs to be as small as I can get it ) - going to relegate the DT10 to acoustic gig duties and see if I can down-size!

I looked at the freebie offer from PMT and emailed Ashdown to see if it was still current - certainly isn't there but where did you see the Guitar Guitar one?

oh, just googling the tuner. Might be an old page or something, didn't check the date. Yep, doesn't seem to be on the GG site, my bad. Anyway, it has top edge mounted jacks... X_X

D'addario head stock tuner?

Tiny little thing. Won't notice it is there.
