What are these korgs like with lower tunings on bass and guitars? any particular model between 50-100? Doesnt need to be rackmounted.
Thanks guys

you definitely want to stay away form the behringer if you're downtuning. it has a hard time tracking the low b on a 5 string and is iffy on a 7 string b on a guitar.
the boss tu-12 series is reliable and has become a staple in the industry along with the tu-2, and peterson. the old ones from the 80's have a hard time tracking the low b on guitars and bass, but i would hope the new ones address this. the tu-2 pedal is awesome, though. i own a pair of them as they double as power supplies on pedal boards.
to be totally honest, with the $50-100 budget, whatever tuner you get will more than likely be a great tuner. sticking with the bigger names like korg, sabine, boss, and planet waves will yield for a solid result.
