Reliable Tuning for Rock-solid Tunes

Keep your instrument sounding its best with the Korg Pitchblack X. This popular tuner is a common choice among Sweetwater guitarists given its accuracy and vivid display. The sleek pedal boasts pronounced definition with double the meter LEDs of typical displays, two distinct brightness modes, and ultra-high precision within a range of ±0.1 cents. Choose between four tuning modes and preserve your tone with the Ultra Buffer feature, which helps maintain signal strength and ensures consistent sound across long cables or pedal chains. Whether tuning up for a studio session or preparing for an onstage appearance, the Pitchblack X will keep your signal strong and in tune.

Keep your signal strong

With the Ultra Buffer built into the Pitchblack X, you'll never have to fret about your guitar’s signal. Passive pickups with a high impendence output often begin to lose signal after 18 feet. Run your guitar through multiple pedals, all with their own input and outputs, as well as extra cable footage from your board to the amp, and you can quickly find your tone lacking. Switch the unit to Ultra Buffer, and the signal is strengthened in bypass mode to maintain your guitar tone, no matter the number of pedals or cable length.

Korg Pitchblack X Features:

  • Increased size and brightness provide crystal-clear visibility under most settings
  • Pronounced definition with double the meter LEDs of typical displays
  • Exacting tuning precision within a range of ±0.1 cents
  • 2 distinct brightness settings with 4 tunning modes for use in multiple scenarios
  • Ultra Buffer feature helps maintain signal strength and ensure consistent sound across long cables or pedal chains

Reviews

Exactly what I was looking for!!
It was time to go from a clip-on tuner to a floor stomp model - for numerous personal reasons. After researching what's out there on the market, I ultimately went with the Korg Pitchblack X, and it has NOT been a disappointment! Blends in nicely with my other floor gear, spot on tuning, and EXTREMELY easy to see. LOVE THIS TUNER!

A better product

The display is so easy to read!

Fantastic tuner, especially for bad eye sight
I originally tried the Peterson Strobe HD and realized I just don't care for strobe tuning. It just doesn't work for me. I took a chance on this one and it does not disappoint. The large note and meters are so nice and bright on stage. Easy to see with no effort. Also, an accurate tuner that had allowed me to tune up and check my tuning very quickly. I just couldn't get fast and accurate tuning on stage or off with the Peterson.
Korg Pitchblack Tuner is Great!
I have used several inexpensive tuners in the past and they were all bad. Lights too dim, lights too bright, too small, slow to react.
This tuner is Perfect. Easy to see the steps and when you hit the perfect pitch, reacts instantly, even with guitar volume turned down to almost off position. Very accurate and easy to use. Would recommend.
Great tuner
It's a great little tuner and a great addition to my setup. I just wish the input and bypass were easier to read.
