Reliable Tuning for Rock-solid Tunes

Nobody has to tell you how important it is to stay in tune, but finding a pedal tuner to adequately meet musicians' needs can be tricky. Fortunately, Korg’s newest take on their pedal tuner was built to solve this conundrum. The Pitchblack X is a revamped take on its predecessor, delivering crystal-clear displays that are larger and brighter than ever before. With double the meter LEDs, the Pitchblack X is able to display information not only with greater definition, but more accurately depict tuning with ultra-high precision down to a range of ±0.1 cents. Moreover, the X introduces a feature Sweetwater guitarists are thrilled to have on their pedalboards: the Ultra Buffer. This engineering aids in retaining and maintaining signal strength, ensuring you’re getting a consistent sound across long cables or setups with numerous I/O points. Besides having two distinct brightness modes, the Pitchblack X offers four tuning displays to accommodate the timing needs of guitarists anywhere from setting up for the studio to tuning up in a pinch onstage.

Korg Pitchblack X Custom Pedal Tuner Features:

  • Increased size and brightness provides crystal-clear visibility under most settings
  • Double the meter LEDs means greater display definition as well as higher distinction in tuning accuracy
  • Ultra-high tuning precision is accurate to a range of ±0.1 cents
  • Variable brightness displays and tuning modes accommodate the needs of guitarists for any scenario
  • Ultra Buffer system ensures preservation of signal strength and clarity for consistent use across complex systems and long cables
  • Standard 9V power supply (not included)

Pedal tuner

I love my Korg Pitchblack X Custom Pedal Tuner. It does exactly what it says it will do. It has a nice quiet foot switch, easy to read display and looks great! This is good for stage and practice.
Music background: Over forty years of guitar playing

Bought for stage use for large display...it's great!

After many years as a drummer, I played a gig as a Bassist for the first time. I needed a tuner that I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I could see while on stage...and I am glad I chose this one. It has a large, bright display, automatically mutes when clicked to tune, and also has several options to choose from to display your tuning. It's very well designed and I highly recommend it!

Crappy Quality

Not impressed with the quality of Korg products. I had the Pitch Black pedal tuner but the battery connector split and fell apart. I also had the rack mount tuner and the quality was garbage. All plastic. Would not buy either again. I have a Boss tuner that I've had for over 20 years and it still works fine.

junk

I bought the predecessor to this pedal and it broke inside of six months. They sent me this one to replace it and it broke inside of three months. I've been waiting almost three months for them to replace it again because supposedly they're out of stock. Never buying another Korg tuner.
