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.

Stratocaster/PRSCustom--Cry Baby Classic--RC Booster--AC Booster--SmallClone--KorgTuner--Marshall JMC900.
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

easy as cheesy gets, just plug in and tune. nice display of note and sound. manual is boring but they all are. ok not real ez because i didnt know what the flat and major symbols were until recently. so less points for that, but this was only when i was drop tuning for the first time didnt know whats what.

good i guess i cant tell if it takes tone or not.

very nice make, good solid metal and protected glass shield, seems made for wear and tear.

Heres my gear: Fender Deville 212, Telecaster, Metal Muff - Boss dd3 - Boss dm3 - Boss bd2 - Verbzilla - Boss bf3 - Tremelo pulse - Small clone - Korg DT10.

Does what a tuner is supposed to and does it well, because it looks nice and is fast and accurate and is bright, easy to read and its CHEAP! Ive been around tuners since ive been playing for 12 years so I wouldn't steer you in the wrong direction, if you got a pedal board then get this.

Its very easy to use,,it comes with a manual which seems very informative especially beause you can set it up to tune many different tunings but I didnt spend time reading it because I only use standard tunings and it is set to default to standard tuning

I dont notice any added noise what so ever out of this unit, I own the dt-10bk,,the black one and dont know if there is any difference than the silver,,,anyways I run it first in my effects loop of my boogie rectoverb then into an EQ,chorus,delay,reverb. I wasnt sure about putting it right before the EQ because if it did create any noise the EQ would deffinatly boost it. No problem with noise what so ever. All these effects are powered by my visual sound 1 spot.
Like I said it offers many different tunings but I only use the default standard. I found the lights on the tuner to very bright,you would have no problem seeing this pedal on a dark stage. No prob at all,,very nice. All in all I am very glad I purchased this tuner,,it makes my life easier,does its job well,,no probs, no noise,,and deffinatly seems to be very well made. A professional looking and feeling unit.

Excellent quality,,would deffinatly use in a gig.

never spoke to them

I hate nothing about it,,,im very happy with the purchase,,other than doing its job very well,,,it looks very proffessional

Just plug your guitar, decide if you want output or bypass exit, and tune. It's all already set to standard if you don't need flat tunings it's ready to go.

I can't hear any difference with or without the tuner on my effect chain. And no hum or noise whatsoever.

bought yesterday. hope it lasts.

hope I won't need it.

Been playing for 23 years. Stratocaster with fender deville and 7 effetcs already on my chain. I put it on first place before the wah, using ac power.
Great construction, feels very solid and very elegant too. The lights are very alive, great analog-like lighting of the tuning leds. Gets the note immediately, great precision. I'm very pleased with it. I'm glad I didn't go for the boss tu-2 or planet waves. It really looks like a professional rack mount unit in a small pedal shape.

Uh, you plug in and step on the button, and you can tune your guitar. There are some other features you can play with such as different tuning modes, but it comes with a manual. You can also use it as a power source for your other pedals, and it comes with a 3 spot daisy chain. I haven't tried it out yet. What's really great about it, though, is how easy it is to see. If the lights are out, it will light up the room.

Some people claim it's not true-bypass and that it drains their sound...I haven't noticed, and even if it does, no one will notice in a live setting.

A big advantage to this tuner is Korg claims it to be accurate within +-1 cent. Everyone seems to buy the Boss TU-2, which can be off as much as 3 cents. The human ear hears in 2 cent increments. Therefore, the TU-2 is inadequate. Where people justify buy the TU-2 is the reliability...

I haven't gigged out with it yet; however, my bass player has had it for 2 years, gigged out regularly, and never had a problem with it...and he has a heavy foot. My backup tuner for live sound is my ear.

Never dealt with them.

The only other thing in comparison is the Boss TU-2, which is less accurate. The display is way easier to read on the DT-10, plus it comes with a daisy chain and can power your other pedals. For me, it came down to a comparison between the two, and the Korg is obviously superior. Plus, I have the black model, which is 100 bucks. You can get the silver model at American Musical Supply for 90, which is ten bucks cheaper than the TU-2. Why did I get the black model, you ask? Because it has blue LEDs, which look really cool.

I found the unit easy to use and quite accurate.

I didn't find it colored my tone particulary.

I used it lightly for a year. Soon afterwards, once the warantee period was up, the switch went out. The local warantee shop wanted $80.00 just to open it up!!! That's what I'd paid for it!!!

I called KORG and got some guy with a heavy New Joisy accent. He sympathized and checked to see if the part was available. It turned out that not one single part was available. In other words, KORG builds these as cheap throw-away units. How many more cents would it have cost them to use a better quality switch? Hey, live and learn. I won't be buying anything else from KORG.Maybe I'll send it back-- give them the pleasure of throwing it in the local landfill. This seems incredibly irresponsible from an environmental standpoint. But then again, we're deep in the reign of King George the 2nd. and so we can't expect environmental factors to count for much!

I liked this unit well enough while it worked, but after the gentle treatment I gave it, for it to break down after a year is just unacceptable to me.

Very easy to use. It's very straightforward and self explanitory...comes with a nice manual, but it really isn't needed.

It is listed as true bypass, some say this is correct and others argue that it isn't....either way, it does not effect my signal or sound in any way at all.

I've only had it for 6 months now, but just look at the thing....it's like a damn tank!!! Solid, large, steel chasis with a very sturdy switch.

I've never had to deal with Korg. I've owned newer Vox amps and the smaller Korg tuners and I've never had a problem with them, so I can't really rate this catagory.

I won't bore everyone, but I've been playing about 12 years. Gear includes:

Amps: Fender Super Reverb, Fender SuperSonic 60W combo, Marshall JCM60,

Guitars: Tele Deluxe reissue, Custom made (by me) Tele, Jazzmaster, Jay Turser JT-200 (bought it as my "beat the crap out of it" guitar), but it has surprised me!..and I also just purchased a Melody Maker.

FX: (not in order) Korg DT-10, Ibanez TS-808, Boss PSM-5 (power supply/loop), Boss TR-2, MXR PHASE 100, Fulltone Fulldrive 2, Maxon CS-9, Guyatone ST2 Compressor, Ernie Ball volume, Behringer V-Amp 2 (not a bad little bedroom practice gadget!)

My previous tuner was the Boss TU-2, because it was the only game in town. It started to crap out on me at the same time I saw the Korg DT-10 so I gave away my Boss to my bandmate and bought the Korg on a whim. I am very pleased with it...I like it a lot better than the boss...it's easier to read with the large LED and I may be wrong, but I think it's more accurate for a stompbox tuner. I was going to send this back if I didn't like it and just buy a new TU-2, but It's a keeper. Also, doesn't seem to suck batteries like the boss either. Only complaint (and it's not really a complaint), but it would rock if it came with the ac power adapter standard....but it's rare for that to happen these days.

This review is for the recently upgraded black model of the DT-10 (now officially called the DT-10BK). This would be pretty difficult to use if you were blind or had no knowledge of the electric guitar. It has awesomely bright blue and white lighting with a huge red LED that lets you know what key you're in. The tuner can get confused if you try to change strings too rapidly, but this lag is very minute and forgettable. The manual is helpful if you want to mess with the semitone/flat tuning calibrations. I don't. I wish they would've specified some of the differences from the previous silver DT-10 other than color, though. I haven't used the silver DT-10 but I'm guessing that this is probably the exact same thing.

This isn't true bypass but that doesn't bother me. The only thing the buffer seems to affect is battery life (according to the manual), and I plan on using a power adapter.

I haven't gigged it, but the heavy, metal casing seems fairly dependable. I'll refrain from making a rating here because it hasn't been put to the test (I've only had it for about five hours).

I haven't needed customer support yet.

The only thing I have to say against this pedal is that Korg tried to answer some of the complaints about the lack of 9v power out ability (like the Boss TU-2 has) by including a five-way daisy chain adapter and charging $10 more, which seems like a lame cop-out. Once upon a time the primary appeal of the DT-10 was that it was considered to be at least as good as the Boss TU-2, but cost $10 less. Since that's no longer true, I guess you'll just have to flip a coin or something. I decided to go with it anyway just because in my town everyone uses a TU-2 because everyone else uses a TU-2, and I thought that seemed silly. I'm actually not that huge a fan of Boss pedals in general so I just wanted something different and functional, and the DT-10 fits that bill.

Very simple to use if you know how to work a tuner. Heavy-duty looking metal construction. Bright and easy to read even in the darkest rooms. Very accurate and not "jumpy" like some other tuners.

My setup: Fender Jazz Bass--->Tech 21 Bass Driver--->Korg DT-10--->Hartke HA3000. I dont notice any extra noise that wasnt already there before adding the DT-10,(Damn single coils). Not sure if its a true bypass or not, but I dont notice the tuner altering my tone at all.

Only time will tell of course, but it has been good so far. If you take decent care of your equipment it should last you.

Havent dealt with Korg, DT-10 comes with 1 year warranty.

Been playing bass and acoustic guitar for about 6 years. Currently playing bass in a rock band doing covers and alternative/hard rock originals. Needed a pedal tuner that was reliable and accurate. I like its sleek apperance and ease of use. Only thing I wish it had was a DC-9v Out, so you could have the ability to power other 9v pedals from it. I also purchased the adapter with it since I hate dealing with batteries. I compared it with the Boss TU-2(mixed reviews, heard it didnt work as well with bass), Peterson Strobostomp(great reviews but too expensive), and the Sabine NEX5000(had a true bypass feature, but a few lousy reviews regrading durability).

Overall the DT-10 is a great pedal tuner at a decent price.

If you have been hooked on analog needle display tuners, and do not like the typical "jumpy" digital motion LED tuners, consider this one. Why? This thing has the best of both worlds, digital accuracy with analog movement. Very bright display that can be read outdoors in sunlight. This this is built to last.

I do not use any pedals as my style for the past 35 years has been chord melody jazz. I've have tried my D'Angelico EXL-1, Gibson ES-165, Gibson Super 400, Ibanez George Benson, and Ibanez AF-120 archtop through this tuner. It's clean. This pedal has a VERY transparent buffer amp inside of it that does not alter your tone. I was worried about adding a pedal between the guitar and the amp, this thing is super clean and does not effect clean tone. Love it!!! The mute option and bypass options are fantastic. This tuner also has a great drop tuning feature for a bunch of drop tuning settings. I bought the 9V adapter and leave everything plugged-in without worrying about battery drain. Why mess with a 9V battery at $4.95 a piece? After two or three batterys, you would come out ahead dollar wise with the adapter at $12.95. You guys with the pedal boards know what I mean. Get the 9V adapter, it's worth the money.

I benchmarked a bunch of floor tuners. I tried the Boss TU-2, Fender PT100, Peterson StroboStomp, Arion HU-8500, Danelectro DJ-11. The Korg DT-10 had the most features, the best meter movement, was the easiest to read, the most durable, and also looked like a state-of-the-art piece of equipment.

On of the best build pedals I've ever seen. A thick casted aluminum housing makes it smash proof. This thing has a nice high tech surgical look. Nice eye candy while you play. Love it! If something happened to this thing, I would be another in a heartbeat.

Never dealt with Korg directly. Most folks distributing their products back-up their quality policies and waranties.

I have been playing archtops for 35 years. This is the 9th tuner I have owned over the years. It is hands-down the best I have owned so far. My other tuners have either been dropped, switches quit working, battery door falls off, stolen, or backlit display goes dim. I think Korg got this right. I must say, the "analog-like" motion of the LED's really sold me. The other floor tuners I mentioned did not have this extra behavior. Also,and the metal ousing contruction seemed bullet proof. I bought it through Musicians Friend online. They matched Sam Ash's special that week at $79 and threw in free shipping since I bought the adapter.

really easy. Click the footswitch and start tuning. The bright led lets you know what "note" you are on/closest to and then the bright chromatic LEDs tell you how your pitch is. Really accurate. Cheaper than the boss.

I don't notice it effecting my tone.
my rig:
Mexi Fat Strat> Dunlop Crybaby Wah> Fulltone Fulldrive II> Korg DT-10> Line 6 DL-4> Mesa Subway Blues 1x10 all tube combo.

I've had it for like 2 weeks and have totaly loved it. I would use it without backup. If I ever had a problem I would borrow a tuner from somebody else. So far so good. Built in a solid medal housing. I would trust it over the boss.

n/a

love it. I play rock worship @ church. Its great cause I Can tune in the middle of a set. I could downtune if I wanted to.

Easy to set up. Instead of having mine in the effects chain i have it set up through my direct out on my deluxe memory man. The manual is pretty straightforward stating everything clearly.
I was really impressed with the led display. Instead of just flashing in 'christmas tree' fashion up and down like some cheap auto tuners do the leds fade form dim to bright as it registers the note. It makes the tracking motion really smooth and made tuning a doddle. It doesn't do that jumping around thing.

I've rigged mine up like so -
Guitar > Crybaby 535q > Vintage Deluxe Memory man > Boss BD-2 > Vintage Big Muff > Graphic EQ
As i said before i use the direct out on the memory simply cos its easier to do so on my particular pedalboard arrangement. I tried it in the effects chain and i couldn't hear any obvious 'tone sucking'.

This casing is built like a tank. Definitely roadworthy. The footswtich looks like 3PDT but isn't, it's a just a normal circuit switch with no click like a boss pedal. It seems pretty strong but i kinda miss a click sound as all the other pedals i use except for the boss bd-2 has this. This probably won't bother most people though. I'd have to give this a 10, cos the casing is just too good.

never dealt with

Initially i was quite reluctant to spend money on something like a tuner pedal, i would rather have spent it other things but when you are trying to tune at band practice and gigs asking every one to be quiet while you tune by ear is a bit much. Now that i've got it i think it was a decent purchase and made life alot easier.
The construction is excellent, it looks great without being too flash, it has simple functional look to it. I looked at the boss tu-2 before deciding on this apparently it has slightly better tracking. It is slightly cheaper and in my opinion looks better than the boss, although it would be nice to test thme side by side, i think i made the right choice.

Its a well designed tuner. Not complicated

Not true bypass, but do not steal much tone.

This is the big problem!! I bought it tuesday, tuned two guitars with it Wednesday the switch started to get bad. Thursday it was dead!!!! The worst quality ever!! I have played since 1978 and never seen anything this bad. Hope to get my money back from the dealer..

I dont know yet, going to call them tomorrow.

Total shit pedal. Think I wil by a peterson strobostomp if I can get my money back. I was thinking of that before I bought this one. I thought it is just a stagetuner so because of the pricetag and the design I bought it. If I do not get my money back I hope I will get a new one. But I am never going to trust it. I will come back with an update.

easiest foot pedal style tuner out there. it's quick, accurate, easy to see and built like a tank - much better than the boss one... best thing I ever bought

not noisy - sound quality? it's a tuner.... quiet

seems totally dependable

don't know

overall, this is the best tuner out there. it's more accurate than the boss one - plus or minus 1 cent compared to plus or minus 3 cents. it may not seem like a lot but if everyone in your band is plus or minus 3 cents it could add up. highly recommended tuner.

Very easy to use. Easy to see LARGE display. I use this with bass and it tracks great. You can hook it up so that it mutes your signal to the amp while tuning. I replaced a Boss TU-2 with the Korg. I found the Boss didn't track as well with bass.

The Korg appears transparent to me in my signal chain. When I owned the Boss it seemed to muff/cut the highs.

I've had it about a year and use it constantly, works great. The casing is metal and the clear display would be very difficult to damage (unlike the cheap Boss plastic). Nice metal footswitch.

I haven't contacted Korg

If you are looking for a tuner in a floorpedal, this is the best one I've found for the money. Excellent tracking, easy to read LARGE display,transparent sound,metal case and various tuning options. Way better than the Boss for bass.

Very easy to use. Display is great size and very easy to read even at some distance whether on not stage is dark or light. Takes 9 volt battery or can use a 9volt dc adapter.

No effect on tone noticeable. I believe the bypass switch is true bypass. There are two outputs. One mutes the signal when tuner is switched on and the other doesn't. There is flat modes for variety of flat tunings. Then again you can just tune chromaticly to what ever tuning you want in standard mode. The calibration botton allows you to use something other then standard 440.

I have only had it a short time so its too soon to really judge. It works great and seems like a very solid built pedal. It's made out of metal which is way preferable over plastic.

I haven't dealt with the company before so I don't have any 1st hand details.

Very good guitar pedal tuner. It makes tuning up much quicker because its so easy to read, tracks very well, and is accurate. It's a great addition to my pedal board. It's comforting knowing i can check my tuning at any time in a flash.

I did look at and have used other pedal tuners like the boss tu 2, fender pedal tuner, but liked the larger display and true bypass on this pedal. The boss tu-2 display wasn't bad and is a good pedal too. I could have got it cheaper online but great pedal regardless.

it's very easy to use, just choouse what output you want to use, out 1 mutes your signal when you're tuning and out 2 doesnt.
just stomp on it anytime between the songs and tune your guitar (or anything) in seconds.

it has very cool leds you can clearly see in dark and daylight.

My setup: A Guitar > Korg tuner > George dennis Wah > ibanez sc10 chorus > George Dennis delay/volume > Marshall AVT50

It doesnt change the sound in any way, doesnt get noisy and stuff.

it's made of metal, footswich is metal too, very well built so there's nothing to worry about.

i play in a cover band, so i use different guitars with different types of tuning (standard, open g, drop d), and this is what i need. i've been playing for more than 3 years. if someone stole it from me i'd look for another one.

i think i got it for a good price - 50 euros, and it only had one barely noticable stratch.

One switch & a very easy-to-read display. You just plug it in and tune.

I can't hear any difference.
I play an old (japanese) ibanez with EMG-pickups through a Fender HotRod so I'm used to a very silent (noise-free) set-up. The DT-10 doesn't add any noise or colouring whatsoever, even on the overdrive channel. It doesn't change the volume either and it's well able to handle the rather high sound-level my guitar tends to emit.

It looks sturdy & well-made. I bought a marshall effect (ED-1) at the same time and you can really see how much better the DT-10 is designed. It sits nice & sturdy on my slightly uneven floor, the switch is big enough & well-positioned, the displays are sunk about 3mm into the pedal so you can't scratch 'm with yout feet.

I love it, it's accurate, it's shiny, it can tune my guitar & base & it's great for setting the intonation.

If I'd ever replace it it'd be with a rack-unit and then I'd still keep this one for home-use.

Its a tuner. No set-up is required really. It offers chromatic drop tuning options, but you might as well not bother. Its just so easy to work it out yourself. You can't go wrong with this. It tracks my basses really well. It's perfectly good with guitars too.

I can't detect any change in the sound of my set-up when this is plugged in. It's useful that it offers two outputs - the "output", which is muted when tuning, and "bypass" which keeps the channel open when tuning.

To be honest, I don't gig much, but this has never failed me anyways. I reckon I could do anything I want to this, and teh LEDs would still sweish awy (it's so pretty!)

I've never had to deal with Korg with this pedal, but knowing friends' experiences, they've always been nothing short of very helpful.

You can't really get much better than this without getting rack-mount kit, which is gonna cost way more. Plus, I'd always go for this above the Boss TU-2, which isn't much good with bass. If this were stolen, I'd replace it in a heartbeat. It is a touch expensive, but I don't really care, because it's so damned good.

It's a tuner - pretty straightforward!

Although not advertised as true bypass, I can't tell any real difference with or without it in my setup (G&L Legacy or Les Paul - Tuner - Voodoo Proctavia - Ibanez TS-9dx[modded to 808] - 70's vintage Princeton Reverb)

I don't forsee any problems. I've had good luck with Korg products.

A bass-player friend of mine has a Korg rack-mount tuner in his setup. Before buying my own stage tuner, I'd plug into his setup and just loved how easy it was to use, how great the display was. Well, the DT-10 seems like a "mini-me" of the rack-mount units, with a smooth sweep of the LED's as you come into tune. I love it. I know, it's probably not the same exact circuit as in the rack-mount units, but the point is, from the user perspective, it seems to work just like a downsized rack-unit.
There are to things I would like to see improved. 1) Provide and additional AC adaptor plug (as on the Boss TU-2 and Sabine NEXFX) which can be used to power othe pedals. 2) The heavy-duty-looking footswitch button works fine, but does not give a nice big tactile "click" when activated.
Overall, I love this pedal and would definitely replace it with another one if it were lost or stolen.

Plug it in, switch it on and tune. Just make sure that the ref.pitch hasn't been inadvertantly altered (i.e. make sure it flashes "0" first)

No effect on sound quality is discernable when in-line

built like a tank.

No idea. Don't expect to need it.

If you need a tuner check this out. Its not particularly cheap, but it is incredibly easy to use. Picks up the "note" and displays it clearly and accurately. The led "meter" is more analogue than digital in that the centre led glows bright and the ones either side fade up and down as the centre spot "swings". It can be set to a variety of pitch references and has a button on the back for easy detuning (down in semitones) to detune a tone just set it to "2" and tune as normal. Its fully chromatic, so it displays the note "character" for all notes. It tunes any guitar with a pickup including basses. I got "sold up" to this when I went into the shop for a standard little tuner - one of the best purchases I have made.

it's a tuner, what else can be said. one button on/off. more accurate than the boss tu-2, and it looks better.

once again it's a tuner, i use it in my 'tuner out' on my amp. and have a handy lil' mute button on my amp(i have the tuner by my amp, so it's not cluttering up my pedal board)

it's beuilt like a tank, yet to gig with it, but. it looks like it'll take a beating, and still look lush.gets a 7, cos i've not gigged with it, and this is based on a few practises.

i've got a 12month warrenty with my local store, so i'll just take it to them when it falls apart(which i do doubt)

this is the best tuner i've used(i've yet to explore rackmount stuff, but i enjoy the footon feel of lots of pedals) and to top it off, it looks so nice, no doubt it'll attract attention at gigs, sleak and silver.

For us knuckle heads: It has one button to hit from above, very easy to target even if drunk (falling down will do), it's nerd-proof.

Thanks to it's buffer amp, the sound is actually freshened up (= altered). I myself think it's pretty neat, but I would understand those who prefer the Sabine Tuner for it's hardwire bypass. The tuner is not as "colourful" as the boss pendant but more accurate and slightly quicker.

Looks pretty unbreakable to me - let time tell this story...

Dunno.

If it would be equipped will a hardwire bypass and the bosses' strobe mode, it would be perfect. Si it's simply the best floor tuner out there (although I'd like to see it with BLUE LEDs... but hey, that's my humble opinion... ;o)
