Fender PT-10 Pedal Tuner

Easy. It tracks fine in my experience. I use it in low light gig situations and dont have trouble seeing the led's, or note indicator.

Its noisy when turned on. If you have any high gain devices nearby (like on your pedal board) you will hear buzzing when this unit is engaged (even if its not in the same signal path). Its spurious noise. Noise dissapears when unit is turned off.

No issues.

Doubtful.

Many others have listed the features of this pedal so I won't bother. It does its job so long as you don't try to tune below E, which is rarely an issue for me. It doesn't adjust as quickly as some tuners, which usually isn't an issue during a show as I don't come -that- far out of tune while playing. If you want to change your tuning altogether you should probably be bringing more than one guitar.

This pedal is true bypass. Disconnect it from the power supply and notice that the signal still passes through. It does not color your tone, and for me that is the most important aspect of this pedal. I play either a Danelectro U2 or a Telecaster through the following chain: Ibanez TS808 (modded for true bypass) > Keeley Compressor > Fender PT-10 > Zvex Box of Rock > Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Octave Fuzz > MXR Blue Box > Zvex Fuzz Factory > Mid-fi Glitch Computer > Mid-fi Pitch Pirate > Ibanez AD9 (Keeley) > Boss DD-6 > EH Holy Grail. That all runs into my amp; a THD BiValve through either a 2x12 with Eminence Legends or a 4x12 with Celestions V30s. My tone is extremely important to me; if the PT-10 did not have true bypass there is no way in hell it would get anywhere near my signal chain.

I've owned it for over 5 years. No issues, and I play rough.

I've never dealt with Fender. I assume they are pretty worthless in terms of customer support.

There is no reason for me to own any other pedal tuner. This one has true bypass and the price is right. Of course it could be better, but for the money I really don't care.

its all been said. Pretty basic tuner, i find it easy to read, its sturdy and seems to have a good battery life.

I am having trouble with it bouncing all over the place when i am trying to tune it. Especially at gigs and as i use a capo from time to time the guitar can tuning can vary. It can take about 30 seconds to get a good tuning from it which is way to long.
It doesnt appear to impact the sound along the chain but i am sure there is some loss.

The tuner itself is very reliable and i havent had any problems.

no

i will be replacing this very shortly as i need a pedal that is faster to use and more accurate.

It's easy to use if there's enough light to see what letter LED is lit. If it's dark and you're close to in tune, it's also fine, but if it's dark and you're going to Drop D tuning or one of your strings is out a half step or more, you can't tell what note your tuning to. An LED lights up, but you can't see the letter.

It's also a little touchy...+- lights wander a bit, but it's still pretty easy to use.

Everyone was buying the Korg. I paid half for this. For my needs, it's fine...and it fits in my case better. Korg has a bigger footprint.

No noise and no effect on the signal...great!

It's got a solid case. Some of the plastic could conceivably scratch after a while, but I think it may outlast me.

These pedal tuners should be required equipment in any band. You have to get one that you can see in the dark and that mutes the signal while you tune. It's nice also if you can see the note in the dark as well as the + - of the tuning function, but not critical if you don't change your tuning on stage.

This is a good solid tuner for a low price. Lots of people trade up for Korg or Boss aparently because you see them on ebay.

Very Easy to use.

Makes no noise for me completly silent. And it dosent mess with my sound either.

Well when i got me first one it didnt work at all so i took it back and got a new one and ive never had any other problems. Very solid casing but the foot switch part is plastic should be half way good.

Never Dealt with them.

Its good and reliable but if these poeple are saying they can't see the led lights there blind cause there bright as day on mine so.... Overall its a good tuner and not as much as the boss.

Yea this thing is pretty simple. There's two outs for you so you can mute it when you're using it on stage. It's a straight up easy tuner to use.

The one thing about this pedal is you can't see what tuning you are in. I've had to get on one knee to make sure I was correct. If you're going into different tunings, it's a total pain in the neck. Oh and another thing...you can't tune lower then C# with this thing. If I wanted to tune up my baritone, I'd have to use my Korg.

Totally dependable. I would always carry a backup korg just in case.

Never needed to get this beast repaired.

If you're one of those rockers who always stays in E tuning then this pedal will work for you. If you are changing your tunings on stage, you might have a problem seeing where you're at. I couldn't tune down with this thing. Wasn't accurate at all when I went lower then C#. Spend a few extra bucks and purchase the Boss TU-2 pedal. It's worth it...

It's simple. Ouput 1 is direct and the other will mute if you step on the pedal. I just leave it in the chain. And that's what I was looking for.

I have not noticed any sound degradation.

So far, so good. It is built like a tank, so I imagine that I will have it forever.

Not dealt with company.

I was tired of going, "okay, are we in tune," screw it. Get something that sits on the floor and tells me. This does it. Somebody said it's hard to read. Okay, that's true, but freaking look at it close. Once that happens if you can't remember then, you're not in tune. It takes some getting used to, but once done, bang, it's cool. Put it in-line and you have two options. Mute or not. It's cool to be in tune all the time now. It does take a while to register an E. But on the bass you can always go up an octave. I trust it to be my thinking machine.

This is very difficult to use for live situations. You can't see what note you are on unless you kneel down to look at it. I've come out of drop D tunng more than once and thought I had retuned to E for the next song only to find out I was on Eb!

However, it is easy to use at home or anywhere else but a dark stage.

This is the second one I've owned. The first one was replaced because it too had the following problem: Sporadically, it adds a noisy hum when in use. I don't know why, but it has happened with two pedals

Except for the above mentnioned problem, it has worked fine. I don't bring a back up tuner to gigs!

It's a decent pedal for the money. If you gig regularly, pick up the Boss Tuner. For $30 more you'll have something that's perfect fot gigging. I'm waiting for this to die, so I can go out and buy the Boss.

Easy to use, it's like the Boss pedal tuner, but it is 30 bucks cheaper. Dont remember looking at the manual, its pretty straightforward.. if you cant figure it out, go buy a frigging tuning fork.

I use: Fender Strat or Epiphone LP, through a cry baby, then a flanger. The pedal tuner sits between the guitar and the wah. Into a Legend 50w 1x12 combo. This works great -- the bypass is noiseless, and the leds are visible onstage from a distance.. the sharp led (green) is a big help too.

Built like a tank. Dont see it crumbling too soon. No Backup.

Never needed them

Hah, it works just like the BOSS pedal, which is I think about 89 bucks or something. I like it. I gigged with it last sunday, and it worked painlessly and flawlessly. If it were stolen, I am pretty big and the stupid shit would be insane... but yes, should it get away from me, I would replace it. I do wish it had big led string letters on it, but the led lights are okay.

Very easy to use. Press the pedal to turn the tuner on. The lights indicate how out of tune you are. This is a very fast and accurate tuner. It work great in the dark. The light are difficult to read in the bright sunlight.

The operation is so silent that I use the tuner mostly as a y-slipter, so I can plug my bass in to two amps at the same time. I use this tuner to tune my upright bass with a Fishman pick-up, Ibanez Pat Metheney Model, Fender XII, and Fender Bass VI.

Built like a tank, I have never had any difficulties with the plastic foot switch. I take it to every gig (Weddings, Bar-Mitzvahs, corporate parties) without a back-up. I always use an ac addaptor, never a battery

Never needed

This is the best pedal turner I have ever used. It is also an excellent signal spliter.
