Korg DT-10

Plug & Play! No problems, easy to use / easy to calibrate - even without the manual.

Perfect for tuning guitars and bassguitars, very accurate. Works good on dark stages because of the good lights.

It's the second DT10 I own, the first one stopped working with a power supply unit after 1 year. Korg sent me a new one and this also worked for about 1 year and now I have the same problem again. The DT10 still works with battery power, but no chance using it with a PSU. This seem's to be a common problem...
I don't use it on gigs anymore.

they sent me a new one without problems, but it took very long...

I played about 50 shows the last 2 years and wasted 2 Korg DT10s. I won't buy it again, I also have an Boss TU2 and it's works fine since 5 year, so I'm going to buy another TU2.

many usefull settings

it brightens up the sound a little, but nothing that will distroy youre sound !! Its Ok, better than the Boss tuner !!!
I play Jacksons, Music Man Guitars in Mesa Amps.
Other "effects" are Trex replica delay and a Fulltone clyde Wah, thats it.

after some years of turning it around, the power supply went of, so I can only use it with batteries now. but I have treat it a lot during tour, so maybe it was my fault.

no idea

I ordert the new Pitch Black Tuner that gets a fixed place on my effect board. So in Tuners Korg is the best for me, they are cheap, doesnt influence my sound, which is the most importand of all my gear, and work solid ? So ?
Nothing to add, nothing i miss !
Ok the Dt10 is a tuner in a big housing, mh ! But so I go for the PB !

It's a tuner. Plug in your guitar, push the big button in the middle, tune. Drop-Tuning and Calibration functions are also simple as can be...

Interesting addition (to make it competitive with the Boss TU-2): this thing now comes with a daisy-chain adapter...

This is the second Korg DT-10 I've owned (sold the last one when I got my Zoom G7.1ut). Bought this one because I sent the G7.1ut back and got a GT-8 instead, and I'm now fed up with the GT-8 tuner - it's inaccurate (shows perfect tune for a huge interval... unusable for intonation etc.) and slow (there's a latency of almost a second till it starts tracking.

The DT-10 is great - my last one had a bit of bleed when muted (running straight into an amp with very high gain settings would result in a bit of sound coming through even though the tuner was on and should have been completely muting the signal - irrelevant for "regular" gain levels). The new one doesn't do this at all, no matter what I do (even cascading a GT-8 OD + high gain amp sim).

So, mute is now 100%, tuning accuracy is still the great +-1cent, and the bypass is far better than a Boss buffer... no loss of highs at all. Simply awesome.

My last one was stepped on (obviously, it's a floor tuner), had beer spilt on it, the cables plugged into it were tripped over and yanked out, it was kicked around on the floor back when I didn't have a floorboard... Basically: It's metal, and it'll last. The new one looks just as solid as the old one, and it's survived my 2-meter-drop test already (might as well make sure nothing's loose while the warranty's still there)...

Never had to talk to them, so no opinion there... Although, doesn't making a product so good that there's no need for customer support amount to great customer support? ;)

As for the store I bought it from (Thomann.de) - great service as always - incredibly fast delivery, no hassles on returns and 30 days money back...

This thing is great. Fast, accurate, and looks very stylish too. The meter is WAY better than the TU2's, and I much prefer it to the new Korg Pitchblack too...

Would definitely buy again (especially at this price, got it for 69 Euros as opposed to the 85 I paid last time).

The only thing I'd change - Blue LEDs!!! I got a black one with green and red LEDs, even though the pic at the online store was with blue LEDs... but hey, I'm not gonna bother them about something as unimportant as that.

Extremely easy. Input, 2 outputs (normal, bypass), a few extra buttons for options but you won't need them for straight ahead standard tuning. AWESOME Display, visible on stage and off. Decent manual. I use it for guitar.

This is not True Bypass and is a very transparent buffered circuit. However, it's buffered at the proper ohmage of a typical tube amp, so your pickup tone will be passed through with virtually no coloration. I actually moved it to the first effect after my guitar because the buffer is so good that all my downstream, ultra expensive boutique True Bypass pedals need the added signal strength this passes.

Honestly, if fixed my tone problems, because if you haven't done the research, aren't an electrical engineer (I'm not), or just found out for by pricey experience (I did), more than 4 True Bypass pedals results in tone degradation. A high quality buffer right after the guitar fixes usually this, although you almost never see it when you look at pictures of professional players' massive boards. Trust me, it's typically an effect with a hidden second purpose.

I tried the Korg with various configurations, and right after the guitar is best.

My rig:

Vintage Axe > Korg DT-10 > Keeley modded Vox 847 Wah > Analogman CompRossor > PedalDoctor FX 4-speed Overdrive > Analogman Chorus > Maxon FL-9 (secondary buffer) > Keeley modded AD-9 > Retro-Sonic Analog Delay > Bogner Ecstasy 101B Amp.

I had it for about 6 months. We'll see. It's permanently mounted on my board and I don't stomp heavy, but only time will tell.

Interfaced with them before about my Korg D16XD. Fairly responsive for a big company.

It really helped improve my tone, brought it back to life actually. Sounds much closer to the guitar going direct into the amp with the Korg in the chain because of the excellent buffer system. It's definitely worth the money!

Yes, not only would I replace it, if it was stolen, but I just ordered a second one today for my non-Bogner board. When I tested it with that board, guess what? Yep, it fixed my tone there also.

For larger True Bypass boards adding a buffer directly after the Guitar is the key to retaining your guitars original tone and brightness!

The only question is reliability, so giving it an overall 9.

I was given this tuner by a friend. He was the bass player for the band "the honey trees" So I don't have any manual for it. But you don't need one! It's an easy and user-friendly tuner. The LED display is way bigger and easier to read than it's rival made by boss.

I use this thing all the time, and I mean *ALL THE TIME* I use it Church, Practice, recording, everything. It gets used just as much as my guitar. I use it as a mute switch when I am not playing so my acoustic guitar will not feedback while its sitting by a monitor or anything. (My acoustic has an attached condenser mic inside) It is muted...period. no hiss no nothing.

Again I use it all the time. I lead worship at a big church and I have to use this thing for about 6-7 different applications EVERY WEEK as well as taking it out on the road. This thing is built like a tank! It's solid, and very reliable. I have used it for 2 years solid now. Like I said, I took it out on the road this summer on tour and NEVER had one problem.

haven't had to deal with it. Probably won't ever have to.

Great tuner. HUGE LED display. Ideal for Dark stage settings. It's solid and Extrememly reliable!

Take 5 minutes to look over the manual and you will have it. Without adding massive, blatantly obvious, and uselessly large text, its as simple as you can get.

Put your 'in line' into the input, your output into your output, your bypass into your bypass (if using, which I don't). To tune down flat press the 'flat' button, to calibrate to a different frequency to be in sync with a different kind of instrument, press the 'calibrate' button.

Oh yeah, and that big button in the middle that looks like an on/ off foot switch, its an on off foot switch.

The screen is nice and big and perfect for use. I set my intonation on my guitars and bass with this thing across the room!

The hidden flange effect is awesome, so is the heavy metal distortion......

Ok, only kidding. Its a tuner, it shouldnt make a noise. This is where this pedal excells! Not only is it absolutely as dead as the grave when activated (activation kills the rig so you tune in silence unless using bypass), but the overall tone of the rig is enhanced by having this baby in the line!

I have tried it with all kinds of cables, and compared to going without it, and I have decided that this tuner adds sparkle to the sound! It must have something to do with the internal buffer inside the pedal. Even my fully laiden EMG bass gets a sparkle added by putting this pedal in its signal path. That alone is an awsome feature!

Its built out of the kind of aluminium they build nuclear blast resistant doors. I am a professional industrial designer, and I can honestly say that it is well constructed for a life on the road being kicked about! Call me old fashioned, but the true bypass footswitch feels allot more sturdy and reliable than any of those moden Boss/ Digitech/ Ibanez mini switches thay they hide under the foot switches.

The whole thing feels great. Ok, im not a massive fan of the rather small and plastic buttons for 'flat' and 'calibrate', but calling them a nipple would be being generous as they as so small.

Never had to deal with Korg ever, and I hope never to either.

I play metal, and this pedal can lock onto my pitch perfectly with a fast response, no matter how low I go (detuning my 5 string bass works!).

I am so glad I didn't opt for the Planet Waves or Boss tuners, this one is perfect for me and I would definitely get it again.

I just love the way it is so simple, so acurate (+/- 2% more than the Fender, Boss, or planet Waves tuners!), so simple, and that it adds that sparkle to the rig. The fact that is is dead silent when activated, and allows me to mute my rig without thinking is just perfect.

There is nothing I would want to change on this tuner, it is perfect. Ok, maybe slightly smaller, but the screen is so large that im not sure that could be done, and a smaller screen is a bad idea.

This pedal has allowed me to tune so simply and fast its unbeleivable, I love it.

Final thought - Dont think, just buy it. Boss and Planet Waves tuners are useless in comparison!

You click it on, pluck the string, and tune until the light is green. It's pretty darn simple. My only complaint is that the "flat" indicator is kind of small. I wish the would've made it a little more obvious.

I don't think it really applies here, but I will say this... the bypass circuit is very very good. I don't think it's true bypass, but it's close.

It's built like a tank!

I've never needed support on this product.

I was all set to buy a Boss TU-2 and then I started reading about the Korg. As it turns out, the Korg is more accurate, easier to read, and tracks better on a bass. The TU-2 is great pedal, but the the DT-10 is even better. My only complaint is that the price (of pedal tuners in general) is a bit high. I'm puzzled by the fact that pedal tuners cost $100 and handheld tuners cost $25. The electronics are nearly identical, but they're charging you for the metal case.

Very easy, cool display, very stable signal. Calibration may be a bit tricky, but most players never use this feature anyway.

Here's where this unit shines, this tuner buffers in a very nice way. I want all the pedals on my board to be true bypass except one. Used to be a tubescreamer that I did't even use a lot but I liked its buffering qualities. Boss pedals are much noisier and degrade the signal.
When not in use, this tuner even improves my sound and eliminates cable losses.

The switch would sometimes work, sometimes not: very bad. No way to open the unit because one of the screws was so tight that even a professional gave up. Eventually, some WD40 fixed the problem, but for how long?
Otherwise very sturdy.

Dunno.

Professional player for 30 years. I would replace this unit immediately if broken or stolen. Great tuner, good buffering, handy mute switch for changing guitars.

Way easy to use..The manual is pretty much right to the point.

No noise period..I can't notice any negatives in my tone,sustain at any level of volume.

It's built like a tank..Hard to imagine how it could be broken, beyond the act of God kinda stuff. Totally Gig worthy, I couldn't see a need for a back up.

I hope to never need to find out.

Easy to use..built tough..easy to read..No noise..Not to pricey...Perfect!

Very simple to operate

I have not tried a boss TU-2 but it has certainly a better buffer than my boss SD-1, and improved the overall sound quality and sparkle. I think that probably all boss small pedals use the same (not good) buffer circuit.
I use: Crybaby true-bypass modded -> Korg DT-10 -> Boss SD1 -> Peavey classic 30 + classic112e extension cab -> send -> guyatone md-3 -> akai headrush E2 -> Boss FV500h -> return

Seems sturdy. only thing i can say is that it fallen off my hands from 1,5 meters and still (obviously) works.

They friendly answer to mails, even when asking help regarding discontinued products.

i'm 24 years old and started playing 8 years ago. I play mostly rock/blues/pop and instrumental guitar stuff. this is my page if you want to look or add me to your friend's list http://myspace.com/yellopeckora.
I love Andy Timmons.
if stolen, probably i get another one, maybe i'd try the planet waves too but i find more useful in my setup a pedal that has a good buffer instead a true bypass one. If you already have pedals that sucks some tone, it's a good thing to put a good buffer in front of it because they will alter much less a strong signal than your guitar's output.
i wish it had the virtual strobo mode like the boss TU-2 but is however a really cool pedal. Nice look too
