Hey chums.
Have been fancying a rack tuner for the studio, but aside from
behringer which I will not be buying are there any other options?
Korg don't seem to
make them anymore? Is eBay my only option now?

Peterson make rack kits to fit their autostrobe units. http://www.petersontuners.com/but be sitting
down to look up prices... or they make the stroborack... which is much
cheaper. http://www.petersontuners.com/index.cfm?category=73

Yes, it seems to be the Peterson at £280 or the Behringer at £52. The Korg DTR2000
doesn't seem to be offered anywhere.
If you feel Behringer doesn't fit your
studio's image, perhaps you could make a new face-plate :-) It probably works just fine.

hhhmmm bit of a judgmental comment there.
Read the
reviews, its slow, doesn't track well needs massive amounts of level to do anything. Oh
and it won't recognise a low B on a 5 string bass. Which for me being bass player who has
a 5 string bass, is a bit of an issue.
Nothing to do with image, if it did
what I wanted I would happily buy.
But it don't.

Why does it have to be a Rack Tuner? Am I missing something? I play bass and this bad boy
does the job awesomely! http://www.gak.co.uk/en/planet-waves-chromatic-tuner-pedal-ct-04/20957

I prolly shouldn't say this (but it is the silly season). I didn't know you could
tune racks. What's the best key for them? {runs away weaving and ducking erratically}
-------------------- It wasn't me!
(Well, actually, it probably was)

Because that's what I
want.
It's really useful to have tuner that you can patch from the console but
that the talent can see from the other side of the studio...
Little pocket tuners get
lost. Borrowed, stood on sat on etc...
That what happened to my last 2...

I was going to say Sabine RT7000 or 7100 but they seem to have become extinct as well.

Direct correlation between racks being less popular, and pedalboards taking their
space?
Anyway, how about a rack shelf or blank panel with a decent tuner cable
tied to it? Cable tie a tuner to a blank panel gives the same facility, if a little
MacGyver look (never a bad thing in my opinion!).

Rocktron Versatune announced at NAMM. Seems it'll list at$299 which seems a bit steep to
me ... but if the Behringer isn't to your liking any new alternatives are likely going to
be more.

For the kind of money mentioned here, you may recall that the Line 6 PODs have tuners in
them, and some nice gear emulation thrown in ! The rack is sodding expensive, but at
least it's not just a tuner ...

Instant gratification is actually pretty good. It's fast as well.

or a copy of Guitar Rig: it has a on-screen tuner that would probably be handy in a
studio. Maybe.

Buy an iPad 1 off evilbay, install TC's polytune app and fix it to a wall. I reckon that
would be the most easily legible tuner from a distance! You could probably use it as a
remote control surface too! Ha! Who am I kidding? I have iPad lust and no real
reason to need one!  ))
