...Or is this a bit too much?

The new Boss TU-1000 tuner, at almost 1.5 feet wide!

It really is. It doesn't seem logical to have a pedal that big only for a tuner.

Yeah its ridiculous!

The guys over on the Harmony Central effects forum did a thread full of photoshops featuring it... this one's my favourite.

Here's a few more..

There's a market out there for it alright....

Yeah! it all depends how shortsighted you are....

It's basically a floor version of a rack tuner. There is something to be said for a wide display, though I can't think of a lot of situations where it's going to be essential. Maybe if you're tuning a string microtonally out of equal temperment.

It's not the worst idea, loads of people have something similar in their rack onstage. Good job on the pics though!

I'm a sucker for a nice rack..............

But seriously, that is ridiculous! Display width on the GT-6 is even bigger than you need!

why tbh. but I'd have one just for the giggles

That seems like total overkill for a tuner. Nearly a foot and a half of floor space given over for one pedal that does one thing? Ridiculous!
