I would love to pick up a Peterson tuner. I'm not sure after buying two cabinets that I can afford one right now. Might have to budget for one though. Thanks for the link.
I was thinking of less clutter on my pedal board and one less cable. Tidy things up a bit. I'm currently using the Boss TU-2 which has never let me down. Never thought of the reasons you mentioned. Probably doesn't look too professional either advertising to the whole audience if I were out of tune a bit.Hi Jeff,
May I ask you why you want it rackmounted? That's for studio purpose. In live situation a pedal tuner with LEDS (like a Korg DT10) is better.
- You tune without turning your back to the audience
- the audience and your band mates don't see every single note you play, and if you are out of tune.
- Mute function
.... etc etc...
I used both of them, and I personally find the rack ones unpractical for live gigs...

With regards for buying a rack tuner...your limited. Peterson and Korg tuners are no longer in production and can only be got second hand. The peterson one is in myopinion overpriced (its only a tuner after all and its not appreciably more accurate than the others - maybe worth spending the money for a permenant place in an expensive studio). With the Korg ones, the 1000 and 2000 are pretty much the same apart form the 2000 having rack lights.
The only one that is actually still getting built these days is the Behringer one (which I use). The build quality is rubbish compared with the rest of the stuff in my rack but it's built "well enough" and it's a little slow on tracking the B-string but it works good enough for someone that is pretty picky.
You just need to think about why you want it in a rack, because rack mounted tuners aren't really more accurate than pedal based ones...

Was just thinking of less clutter and cables with the pedal board. With the tuner out on the X-Treme I have to turn around and hit the mute button anyway so might as well have the tuner in the rack.If it ain´t broke, why change it?
