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 XS delivers crystal-clear displays that are larger and brighter than ever before. With double the meter LEDs, the Pitchblack XS 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 XS 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 XS 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 XS 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)

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Rated 5/5

Solid Tuner

Pretty simple and sweet. It is compact but larger than expected. About a 3x3 square. Fits nice on the board. It is a stompbox, the whole top is the switch button. Display is clear and accurate. Very nice buy.
Rated 5/5

Pedal tuner

Works great! Very easy to see in low light situations. Is very accurate I have compared to my rack mount tuner and is spot on

Awesome space saver, accurate, high visibility!

Swapped out a Peterson Strobe Stomp with this to save a little space on my board. Easy to see, easy to use and the accuracy is great!
Music background: Professional
Rated 4.5/5

Great Little Tuner

I recently ordered this for my main pedal board and was not disappointed. I have the PitchBlack rack mount unit and love it, so had high expectations for the XS. The build quality is robust, and the bypass is silent. Thanks for your help Patrick Ortiz!
Rated 2.5/5

Mine Failed

Barely two months old, that's what guarantees are for. Looks nice. I like my TC Electronic better because the tuner stays on, allowing you to mute by stomping the button, as a live performer I like being able to see the tuner all the time.
