I see these Korg Pitch-black more often now, anyone can say how are they compared to the DTR2000?
Thanks.
Cheaper build quality, very light and plastic, even the rack ears are semi-transparent plastic. Very large display though that is easy to see, even in bright light, and certainly looks cool. 1 cent accuracy so really nothing better than your typical pedal board tuner, which is really all these things are. Not bad for the price though, can only expect so much for $99 brand new I suppose.
Few gripes I have with it is that you have to hit the power button every time, can't just leave it turned on and power it up with the rack, and the power supply AC adapter is rather large and can be a real issue fitting into a power conditioner if you have a deeper unit below it. Really should of been a line lump style, or maybe have a rotated plug. Just not very smart thinking for a product designed for rack mount.
I feel like mine bows out slightly in the middle, I don't know if that is just the design, perhaps helping viewing at an angle, or its due to some flexing in the rack. Again, these things are very cheap feeling plastic. Super light though, and only about 2" deep. Does the job well enough, but in the tuning mode 1, the "needle" mode, I feel it could be a little more accurate, or have a wider range of movement. You get close in tuning and the blue marker gets so close to the green center one its hard to tell quite if your in tune. I would like more tuning resolution so that a few cents off would be maybe an inch away from center, if that makes sense.
I do like the visibility but might end up just going back to the Axe tuner
