Highly accurate is the "plus" - not the problem.
The strobe takes some getting used to. Everyone who sees the thing immediately feels like they can't "get it" - It didn't take long to feel comfortable with it at all.

i just bought a Korg DTR-1000 rack mount tuner, i was going to get the
DTR-2000 but they sold out very fast. these tuners are great, they do cost a little bit more than the others, but when it comes to tuning accuracy and reliability its worth it. at the end of the last gig i used it at, i went blind! there is no chance of not seeing were your at on these beast, plus they light up your amp rack like a ufo space ship
(adds a bit of wank factor to your rig)

If I were to buy a new tuner today, it would be the Korg Pitchblack. I have the previous model, the BT-10 and it's great.

I was taken with this quote on the guitar side regarding the Peterson strobe stomp tuner , and after trying one today I can agree.
"I used to spend too much time on stage dithering around with it trying to get perfectly tuned. Those bars going up and down are mesmerizing, particularly after a few ales. I use it to set intonation now."
Ideal if you have a guitar tech offstage but a little too "busy" for my liking.
So today I ordered a Pitchblack plus KORG Tuners : PitchBlack+ Digital Floor Tuner

+1 for the Korg DTR2000 and +1 for the Korg pitch black.
I use the DTR2000 and never have any problems, my guitarist uses the pitch black and loves it. I highly recommend either.

ive got a korg but its just a cheap little one... im learning alot in this discussion!
I hear ya that you want rack mount.
That said, here's another vote for the Korg Pitchblack. Inexpensive, road-worthy and very accurate - easy to use...right down to my low "B". Fantastic stomp tuner. Hyper sensitive and WAY easier to read vs. most other stomp tuners I've used...especially the Boss TU-2. .....and true bypass is a big plus!

Spud, i must disagree with this. The pitch-black is a good tuner I'm sure, but to say that a peterson is hard to use because it's accurate sounds strange to me. Sure, it took some getting used to, but now I'm confident I can tune as fast as anyone, and with greater accuracy

The PitchBlack is actually a accuratet tuner (accurate enough) and it´s small and not very expencive. You could easily fit 15 of them in the gigbag pocket. It´s not just about accuracy for me. I´ve had at least 7 or 8 tuners stolen through the years on gigs and you get at least 3 Korg PitchBlack tuners for the price of one Peterson StroboStomp. So there is another reason why I´m not using too expencive tuners live. They tend to get stolen.....

So true. I have no idea why strippers would want to steal a guitar tuner anyway. Tune their g-strings perhaps....

Look you know that I will have to take you outside and beat you at the knucklehead bash
The peterson "strobes" a lot - that's why they call it a strobe tuner I guess
I couldn't put up with the constant flickering of it - I guess you would get used to it.
Because it is super accurate the smaller strobe scale just seemed to pi55 me off with it's busy intent to tell you that you were a "gnats 8ollock" off pitch.
The Korg is as accurate as the Peterson and you can have the strobe effect on it too if ya want it.
On the thread on the guitar side, my intentions were to get :-
a stompbox tuner
cheap
with a large LED display
I got the pitchblack because it does all the above and more - it's super quick at recognising notes and sometimes the Peterson isn't so quick. (see the u tube link on my Tuner thread on the geetar side)
My Geetar building, fence fixing, rodeo riding,root'n toot'n,pistol shootin' buddy has a Peterson for his Luthier work and it is top notch for that.
Not wishing to diss the Peterson - just not my cup of tea I guess.
Now get the beers in (in June !!)

Boss TU-2. Excellent pedal tuner, and works as a mute switch when changing basses or when I don't want noise going on during extended breaks.
The other nice thing, if you're tuned to Eb like me, then you can program the tuner to be that way too.
