All user reviews for the Korg Pitchblack

I bought it recently, because after 10 years of music, I thought it was time to buy a tuner! In fact, I already had a small "clip on" korg (we put on the head of the handle and takes vibration), but unte hand, although it was not clear very fast and therefore not practical for the scene, and on the other hand, with this kind of tuner you can not adjust the intonation of a guitar.
The Pitchblack is the perfect area for me it all: very fast, you are not forced to mutate each string has one and wait for the tuner gets back his emotions after each string, and the indication is stable, the diodes will not panic before analyzing the note played correctly. In my opinion, no need of poly (same price), we agree very quickly with this one. And then poly, for the same price, is more complex, I think that simplicity is synonymous with reliability ^ ^
Noveau building, the case is metal and feels solid, only the underside of the pedal is plastic, but in general, it is not too tortures this partly. The switch is very soft and feels solid. As for the display, I find it very readable, and it seems bright enough, even during the day. Then, if we play outside with the sun shining above, maybe it's embarrassing, but it does not happen to me right now ^ ^
It is true bypass, no staining sound. The whole seems to me very well built, the tuner works very well, the price is reasonable (58 euros), it seems to me to be a great value.

I use it for a few months.

Good build quality. Housing black painted aluminum. Several types of operation. But I used one, the most classic. Calibration of the LA between 436 and 445 Hz Format relatively small, so easy to put on a pedalboard. Looks nice, a bit futuristic.

I've never used on 9V battery: it is installed on my pedalboard and is powered by a 1Spot system.

It is quite effective, but could be a little faster! Sometimes, after a certain time settings, it seems that a little enmêle brushes. It's unpleasant, but it's very episodic and occurs only when specifically long tunings (eg, to provide a Floyd Rose after changing the strings). Just cut, then back to either OK again.


In the end, I'm generally happy. It may not be the most efficient on the market, but it is a good average, with a quality / price very interesting report.

If it again, maybe I would do this choice. Or maybe if I can find a better price / quality ratio. Say it is well suited for musicians who do not want to invest in an exaggeratedly tuner pedal.

I put 8/10 taking into account the price / quality ratio. Without considering them, I would rather put 7/10.

This is a very handy little tuner on stage, as repeated or studio, there is agreement in silence when the pedal is activated and the sound is strictly unaffected when the pedal is off (as if n ' There was no pedal, a bypass true true).
The big advantage being that fits very quickly and with precision grade. Its metal case ensures good quality of the pedal. The digital display is very accurate, easy to read and that, indoors, with spotlights, with neon lights, outside, in the sun ... a real little gem!
