Korg Pitchblack+ Professional Chromatic Pedal Tuner
Brand
KORG
Professional touring guitarists, multi-instrumentalists, and instrument technicians need a stage tuner that does more than just display pitch notes. Swapping between an acoustic guitar with active electronics and a passive electric guitar on a dark stage usually requires separate pedals, clumsy mute boxes, or constant cable re-patching. The Korg Pitchblack+ Professional Chromatic Pedal Tuner entirely resolves this routing bottleneck. By integrating a premium dual-input switching matrix with ultra-high-definition $\pm$0.1 cent pitch calculation and a true bypass audio path, this advanced floor unit serves as the central command hub for your performance pedalboard.
Take total command of your intonation with the KORG Pitchblack Plus Pedal Tuner. Designed for the serious guitarist or bassist who requires more than just standard tuning, the Pitchblack Plus offers dual-input channels, advanced tuning accuracy, and a comprehensive suite of professional features. Whether you are switching between two different instruments mid-set or need precise intonation for complex alternate tunings, this flagship pedalboard tuner delivers professional-grade reliability in a road-ready, die-cast aluminum housing.
Dual-Input Versatility and Advanced Calibration
The Pitchblack Plus is engineered to be the brain of your pedalboard. With two independent input channels (Input 1 and Input 2), you can keep two instruments—such as an electric guitar and an acoustic-electric—plugged in simultaneously and toggle between them instantly. This is a game-changer for gigging musicians who don't want to waste time unplugging and re-plugging gear on stage.
For those who require specific intonation, the pedal offers advanced calibration and tuning modes. You can perform multi-string "drop" tunings (up to 7 semitones flat) and access a wide range of alternate tuning temperaments. The ultra-precise +/- 0.1 cent accuracy ensures that even when you are playing complex chord shapes or high-register leads, your intonation remains flawless.
Professional Stage Visibility and Signal Integrity
The display on the Pitchblack Plus is one of the brightest and most versatile in the industry. It features a large, double-meter LED array that allows for different modes—including Full Strobe, Half Strobe, Meter, and Mirror—ensuring that you can monitor your pitch exactly how you prefer. Because it features a 100% "True Bypass" signal path, your dry instrument tone is never colored or degraded by the tuner when it is off, preserving the delicate high-end frequencies of your pickup output.
The unit also includes a dedicated 9V DC output, allowing you to daisy-chain power to other pedals on your board, further streamlining your setup and reducing the need for additional power bricks. Encased in a rugged, die-cast aluminum body, the Pitchblack Plus is built to handle the heaviest stage use, making it a reliable, high-performance master for your signal chain.
