Korg Pitchblack Mini Pedal Tuner

Korg's Pitchblack pedal tuners are globally trusted by guitarists and bassists for their top - notch quality, sleek design, and long - lasting durability. The Pitchblack mini, a recent addition to this famous tuner series, comes in a more compact and stylish size. Despite its small appearance, it packs all the excellent tuner features. It has a large LED display that's highly visible, and even though it's compact, it supports battery operation. There are also stabilizers to stop it from tipping over. This high - quality pedal tuner is small yet powerful and meets every player's needs. It's smaller than the previous Pitchblack, so it's easy to install on a full effects board. Weighing only 129 grams, it's super easy to handle. The large display, with a big 7 - segment color LED, makes note indications clear and the moving meter easy to see, even on a dark stage. Battery operation, a long - awaited feature for mini pedal tuners, along with its compact design, allows for smooth use anywhere, whether on the effects board or the floor. You can also use a DC9V power supply for effects units. The slide - type stabilizers on the bottom prevent it from overturning, which is a common issue with other units. Key features include easy installation, a high - visibility display, battery support, anti - overturning stabilizers, three meter display modes, ultra - high tuning accuracy of +/- 0.1 cents, adjustable calibration, and true bypass that doesn't affect the sound. Technical specs: 12 - note equal temperament scale, detection range from E0 (20.60 Hz) to C8 (4186 Hz), calibration range of A4 = 436 - 445 Hz in 1 Hz steps, detection accuracy of +/- 0.1 cent, input impedance of 1 M - ohm when the tuner is on, three display modes (Regular, Strobe, Half - strobe), INPUT, BYPASS, and DC 9V IN connectors, power supply options of two CR2032 lithium batteries (3V) or a 9V AC adaptor, battery life of about 3 hours in regular mode, maximum current consumption of 40 mA, dimensions of 45 x 93 x 44 mm (1.77” x 3.66” x 1.73”) including rubber feet, weight of 129 g (4.55 oz) including battery, and it comes with two CR2032 lithium batteries and a 9V AC adaptor KA - 181.

Using the Korg Pitchblack Mini Pedal Tuner is a breeze. First, connect your instrument to the INPUT jack using a mono 1/4” cable. You can power it in two ways: use two CR2032 lithium batteries or plug in the 9V AC adaptor. Once it's powered on, start playing your instrument, and the tuner will display the note and show if it's in tune. You can switch between the three display modes - Regular, Strobe, and Half - strobe - to find the one that suits you best. When it comes to calibration, you can adjust it within the range of A4 = 436 - 445 Hz in 1 Hz steps. Just remember, if you're using batteries, the battery life is about 3 hours when the tuner is on and in Regular mode. So, keep an extra set of batteries handy for longer sessions. When you're not using the tuner, it's a good idea to turn it off to save power. For maintenance, keep it clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you're traveling with it, the small size and light weight make it easy to carry, but still be careful not to drop it as that could damage the internal components. Also, make sure to use the stabilizers to prevent it from overturning on the floor or your effects board.
