Great review!

That looks like a really solid tuner. Korg makes great tuners, and for stage use, this one looks like a winner (especially if you can't afford a Strobostomp at nearly 3x the price, or don't do your own setup work). The tuning accuracy (±1 cent) is perfectly acceptable for a stage tuner, and way better than the BOSS TU-2. (Honestly, i don't know how people can use the TU-2. ±3 cents is just not accurate enough for my ear.)

It looks like it's really solidly built, and being true bypass and having a DC out jack makes it pretty much perfect.

How fast and accurate is the tuning? How well does it track on the low strings?
