Korg Pitchblack X Tuner, Blue

The next generation pedal tuner with the new ULTRA BUFFER is even more powerful and easy to use.

Since its debut in 2008, the Korg Pitchblack pedal tuner has earned a reputation as a reliable and indispensable part of any pedalboard, thanks to its high sensitivity, excellent readability and sturdy construction.

Not only does the Pitchblack X have True Bypass to let the sound through exactly as it comes in, but it now also has a built-in ULTRA BUFFER. Why is this important?

Most electric guitars use passive pickups with high output impedance. If you use a cable, there is loss of tone, usually in high frequencies, after about 6m (about 18 feet) and this problem gets worse the longer the cable is. A buffer amplifies the signal through long cables to prevent sound loss, keeping it clean and clear - even when your pedal is off.

The ULTRA BUFFER improves sound quality in bypass mode, so you can maintain original sound quality even when using a long cable to connect the tuner or when applying the tuner in a complex effect board.
On the Pitchblack X, you can switch between true bypass and ULTRA BUFFER, depending on your tastes and the other devices in the chain.
