Behringer Racktuner BTR2000

I have been a bassist for over 22 yrs. I currently am playing with PHOENIXX from Amarillo, TX, I have recorded and toured extensively with Hacienda Records Artist "Algo Simple", recorded and toured with Grandma Gerber Records Artist "The Carmen Espinoza-Rodriquez Jazz Band", have recorded for PBS (KACV-TV), recorded and sat in many studio sessions (still do), recorded and toured with the WTAMA Faculty Jazz Quintet, performed with the WTAMU Jazz Ensemble, performed with the world reknown outdoor musical drama "Texas Legacies" and toured with their band "Texas X-press", and received an award for "The Most Outstanding Soloist" at the UNC of Greeley Jazz Festival in Greeley, CO.
I play a variety of styles; Jazz, Latin, Latin Jazz, Tejano, Blues, Funk, Rock and Country
I enjoy good music, (hate rap).

I heard about Behringer while touring with The Carmen Espinoza-Rodriquez Jazz Band. I fell in love with it and since have acquired more Behringer products. I paid $59.98 through Musician's Friend.

I play a Tobias Standard 6-string and the rackmount tuner responds very accurately to it! It also has a very nice lighting feature that lights up my whole rig and that makes it very easy to see during a gig

........nothing negative to say about this product

very durable. I gig no less than 12 times a month and this product has been right on it each time.... I am pretty hard on my gear, and so far, the RACKTUNER BTR2000 is a very tough act!

I completely, fullheartedly recommend this product to any bassist needing an awesome tuning component.

Behringer is well known for good looking products that are affordable and usable; this rack tuner is no exception. Featuring a stylish led design and a super lightweight construction (yet durable), this is a fine product for its price. It is also a metronome, which is helpful in rehearsal or even performance situations. It lights up clearly and easily to be seen in the dark of a club. There are 2 1/4'' inputs, 2 1/4'' outputs as well as foot pedal relays. The internal computer allows for memorized settings as well as various modes making this more than just a rack tuner.

It should be mentioned however that Behringer gear, on the low-end, can be a little fragile, however once this is racked it shouldn't be removed too often so it will stay safe, it's just that some of their gear has some kind of hard plastic stuff they use and it can easily take on scrapes, mars and even in some cases, knobs are usually found to be falling off or breaking. This isn't the care with this tuner, though. Its internal driven rack is solid and much thought was put into the function of this for the working musician.

A band that tunes at a different note than concert A will find this unit helpful as it will memorize the setting of their detuned note and consider it 'A' when they tune, allowing for a quick job. There is also lines in and out for foot pedals, making this an option when playing live. In the studio it's ideal for any instrument.

Most other models, while of similar or better quality, can't seem to match price with functionability as Behringer does. Their lower end products accurately find the market hole and fill them in; whether it be a multi-use tuner for the rack or a 4 channel phantom powered mixer for an acoustic singer, it seems as though Behringer is a good company for that. Just beware that their hardware can usually buckle under a bit of strenuous activity. This rack unit should provide years of reliable use, taken care of.
