So it's New Pedal and Power Supply and Pedal Board Here at the house.  I've outgrown my Pedaltrain 2 & BBE SupaCharger so I made a mild upgrade to the Pedaltrain 3 and Voodoo Lab 4x4.  I recently picked up a TC Electronics Nova Delay to replace my Boss DD7.  As much as I wanted to go with one of the DIY delays with Tap Tempo, I got this Nova for $120 and really wanted something that had a few presets.  Pretty stoked about diving into that pedal.  Of course I'll be keeping the Multiplex Jr on the board as my always on delay. 

I've got a few additions in short order so I needed some more room.  Not to mention that I haven't been able to fit my wah on there so...

Here's to re-organizing the pedal board!  I'll probably be adding a routing box as well to make cable hookups a little easier to deal with when running through the effects loop.  I'm thinking that Korg DT-10 is taking up too much room.  Maybe a Poly or Pitch Black?

I would vote Polytune, but that's because I have a couple and like them...

I hope you won't wish you got a Pro! A PT-3 is only a small step up from a PT-2. However, when the 3 gets filled you can always start using the 2 again!

I have a Polytune. I found it to be a little buggy. I have one of the older ones though, not sure if that's why but occasionally I found myself wanting to set it on fire because it wouldn't find the signal. That being said it's more accurate than the Boss TU-2 and WORLDS better than the planet waves piece of garbage. I would say Pitch Black.

I went through 2 poly tuners. One 1590B sized one and one mini and both of them had faulty switches. I am very lite footed on my pedals and never jump and stomp. I thought it was just me but I saw a few threads about others having the same problems.

I ended up going with a Sonic Research Turbo Tuner ST-200 and I will not go back to anything else. Its not the most attractive looking tuner but man its accurate and fast.

I love my nova. Fiddling with presets is a pita but it sounds so clean it's worth the trouble. I like the fact that it has a bpm setting, as my band plays to a click track and I can nail delay times.

I have the same tuner in silver and it takes up too much room, but I've had it forever, I don't notice any signal suck, and it works so well I just can't get rid of it.

How loud is too loud?  What?

The BPM, presets and the ability to do QTR plus dotted is what sold me on the Nova.  We also play to a click track (with cues) all done in Ableton and being able to set to BPM is nice. 

I'm a fan of Korg tuners so I'd probably go Pitch Black over the Poly.  We do have a Poly at church that's already gone out, so I'll take that as a hint.

I know.  I was VERY close to just pulling the trigger on the Pro, probably should have, but doggone is that thing big and heavy in a hard case.  I'm going to try and swing the PT3 for a while.  If I need to, I'll just keep the volume and wah off board to make room.  Doing that should be plenty, as I don't plan to add too many more pedals.

I have the Pedaltrain Pro with the hard case. It's a great board with a ton of room but you're right, the case is so heavy and big that it's a major pain to carry around.

I have the Pitch Black tuner too. Fast and accurate. I think you'll like it.

++1 on this.  I've got a stomp-format Turbo Tuner (http://www.turbo-tuner.com/index.htm).  Very fast, very easy to read.  Very happy with it.
