All user reviews for the Korg DT-10

You'll love this tuner if:
- You love the brushed aluminum
- You are tired pseudo polyphonic modes that only work when it wants to
- The strobe modes annoy you
- Like you jump in with your tuner without feet moving
- You are looking for fast and efficient foremost

You will not like this tuner if:
- You like to give one quarter of one tenth of a cent
- You need an immediate recognition score
- With a Pedaltrain Nano as pedalboard
- You prefer white or black

The DT-10 is an old tuner, and it shows: it is big (but offers a coup led display very nice), and can measure one note at a time. Good thing I have room on my pedalboard, I grant a string at a time (I only have two hands) and I adoooooore his look. It is regrettable that it is not the fastest or the most accurate, but mostly I prefer not to take my head to waste time to keep still green LED (excluding studio conditions).

This is not the perfect tuner, but it is one that is best for me today.

I wanted a Tuner for the periods my guitar is connected to an amp., without having to switch cables and to be able to tune 'silently'. I ordered the Tuner, On-line from The Netherlands, in Germany, by Music Store in Köln. Including shipping, I paid about € 90.00 (I shared the shipping with a very well reviewed Fame SKE C002/W Studio Recording Mic., witch I had ordered as well, I will review that after more recording use).

Near accurate tuning, very well lit in bright or dark surroundings. With one click of the foot you're in tuning mode, without switch noises or sound coming from the amp.

Nothing!

It's a sturdy metal unit, a 'floor type', with a foot operated switch button, with a non-slippery back. It also allowes for flat tuning and it has got a callibration switch. It operates on a 9V battery, 50 hours of continues use, or on a DC 9V connection. It has got 2 outputs, one for tuning with and one for tuning without sound from the amp., thats the one I use and wanted.

I am very pleased with my Korg D-1600 MKII studio recorder, that's why I decided to go for Korg again; I think this company makes classy products.

The Korg DT-10 is a chromatic tuner designed for acoustic instruments that can simply clip onto your guitar or other stringed instrument.  It is really easy to use and it will pick up your signal accurately and allow you to tune your instrument perfectly and it will only take a matter of minuets.  Whether I'm using the Korg DT-10 for simply practicing or for recording and live shows, the Korg DT-10 works perfectly for instruments that don't have a pick up.  I usually prefer to mic up my acoustic instruments, so having the Korg DT-10 is vital for me to have around because I don't have any pick up to send the signal to a traditional tuner.  This is overall a real easy tuner to use and it only takes a short amount of time to tune your guitar or other instrument each time.  The price of the Korg DT-10 is really reasonable and I would say it is a must have for any person who plays an acoustic instrument but has no pick up.  Even though I only really use this tuner on acoustic guitar, I have also seen it used for mandolin and violin with good results and I'm under the impression that it will work fine with any acoustic stringed instrument. The clip for the Korg DT-10 is pretty sturdy and I've never had any problems clipping it on or with it breaking or anything like that.  While I would rather use another tuner like a Boss TU-2 that I could plug my instrument directly into for electric instruments, for strictly acoustic instruments the Korg DT-10 works best.  If you play a lot of acoustic guitar and don't have a pick up for it or would rather mic it up, the Korg DT-10 must be looked into as it will make your life easier! Love this tuner!

Heavy duty brushed aluminum it displays information for Fawn trs clear. I had my choice to dpart port to the Rocktron X-Tune but the silent BCQ too sensitive when I tried it.

The Korg Fidler irrprochable the mark, if the rglages tuning spcial are super simple (eg no prob I give a violin or a mandolin without galrer put it back in the for my guitar), available as on most tuners format PDAL usual connections: a bypass, and 1 in 1 out.

The bypass is completely transparent which makes its placement in the chain effect easier (some tuner supports a lot of APRS be a compressor or a distortion).

Short compared to the Boss (a bit small and not readable trs I think) or X-Tune (too sensitive, but not expensive) that are in the same water budget issue for me there's no picture. It's pretty tough and the sr

I have the Korg DT10 for two 1 ½ years. Look nice. Has two different input, a bypass mode the other in direct mode. There is an exit that allows outputter so to this tuner in a rack effect. Level playing comfort: it's a great tuner scene, although the notes displayed widely, and the indicator LED flash is so visible from afar.
Performance level: while there is spectacular, there is no variation in the parasitic diode, when the note is recognized it does not move non-stop as the other tuners. In addition it is able to recognize the root when playing an agreement, the coup is not connected while letting you play to verify that the tuning does not vary too much after a wide vibrato, for example.
Finally, frequency level detection: it detects without difficulty the notes of a low (or even after a string If the knowledge of a serious bass).
Hic small price: the € 100. So one is tempted to take less at the concurrently, but value for money is incomparable.
If I had to redo this choice without hesitation. The DT 10 is the tuner to have.

Purchased and used since July 2005. Fulfills its office to 100%. No appreciable wear.
Note that mine, to be precise, is called Korg DT10RW. It is exactly the same except the finish in DT10: Indeed, it is walnut color with a bronze color metal background.
I have also seen in black.
Finally we do not care that the public is not supposed to see. The important thing is what it does: Tuning efficient and easy!
Indeed, I was wary of tuners without needle, I always find a realistic diode that lights up as if the miracle happened correctness of a sudden ...
Well then, no! Indeed, the LEDs light up more or less strong depending on whether one approaches the accuracy. Let me explain: The LEDs on the right and left are blue, and the LED panel is white. Well they come on stronger in relation to their level. Example: A hair as flat, white LED does not shine fully, and the blue LEDs shine just to the left slightly. So when you're mid-water, even when we know which way to turn the mechanics!
Excellent visibility, the diodes are very bright. The notice indicates that there may be concerns of visibility in bright sunlight, it only happened once and I went out anyway.
The note is detected instantly.
I use it to give me in mute silence, so I will vote not for the bypass.
Please note a connection with jacks in METAL, it is important to me: If the pedal drops, the jack does not let me go.
The only downside (for a tuner, I had the place ...): The battery power when you put the jack into "input", although this is apparently the tuner off. Beware stunned ...
So I quickly powered transformer.
Metes reason I "only" 9 / 10, but this detail aside, this is an excellent poduit.

EDIT 27/05/10: always happy !!!!!

Wouaow!
A sumptuous pedals!
- A beautiful brushed aluminum case perfect finish, trs stable!
- Ds you touch the rope, the big red LED starts instantanment moving with fluidity and precision as the eye of a Cylon in galactica seventies, the kind you see? It turns green when arriving at the center! It is a pleasure to agree! ...
- The readability is totally perfect! I do not see how you could do better?
- Bypass logic, but really transparent trs
- 2 outputs (one transparent, the other in mute)
I am certain that sr and this wonder will become a classic and replace the TU-2

KORG DT10 BLACK, the same as that brushed aluminum but black.

Excellent product. I bought it because I pricked one of the other guitarist in my band for a year or two ... The tuner of my G major prcis is medium (the two words do they go together: prcis or it is not, you say? I maintain: medium). On the acquisition o ...

Prcis (10/10), ergonomic, readable, sound, no latency, switch and sturdy quality battery cover easily Accs.

Good going to quibble if there was a connection to the battery with the tabs on the pedals as Jacques (Jacques owners know), it would be better than merdouille on the line supply, because most practical and much more solid, good moo ... Can I be the one day hack.

Have a product and keep it. I have not tried the others of equivalent quality.

Super quality product. 66 new at thotho in black. S'embter Why? Comes with a battery, nice.

For a long time I was looking for a good tuner pedal format to incorporate into my set. About a year ago I came across this one while I hesitated with the Artec Big Dots (true bypass, cheaper) and the Boss TU-2 (the reference). I chose the Korg because it seemed a good compromise, both highly (but not too much) accurate, with an LED that lets you know where we are (more so than the Big Dots), and a certain transparency Bypass (better than the Boss so), all with a great look! The "flat" is a tad redundant, but not the dual output (OUT or Bypass), which lets you choose if you want to tune silently or not, or the calibration of the LA reference in the range of 10 Hz EMMC or something that. Indeed, it is much better than a compromise: "built like a tank", not true bypass, but bypass very transparent, visible diode super at all times, a little over a swirling acoustic bass of poor quality, but there I quibble with death, it is set like shit this low.

If you need a tuner quality of life, you do not have a Ernie Ball volume pedal with tuner out and you still want to tune silently on stage, this jewel is a dream. And brushed aluminum, it's not pretend, it vomits almost on a TU-2 after that ... NEW REFERENCE, no less!

Edit a few months of use: still no complaints! One small detail to remember for those who have close pedalboard, this pedal is relatively large compared to the Boss, think about it. And when I write stuff on the TU-2, do not take them at face value, it's good stuff too ... That said I would not trade my Korg, nay!

Edit 21/06/2011: I have always. Bypass very transparent. But competition is fierce. That said, I think once you have a tuner it does not change every five years ...
