    Sell Boss buy Korg.

    Korg PitchblackPublished on 04/13/11 at 11:02
    This is a tuner pedal made by Korg with the following features:

    -True bypass so that the tone of your signal chain is left unaffected when the pedal is not engaged

    -Four types of display mode: Full Strobe, Half Strobe, Meter and Mirror

    -Bright LED display which is easy to use in sunlight, under stage lights or no light at all

    -Tuning range from E0 to C8

    -Powered by 9V power supply or battery and has 9V out so can be used to power other pedals

    -Accurate to plus or minus one cent

    -Can be calibrated between 436Hz and 445Hz in 1Hz steps

    -Strong die cast aluminum case which should last years of touring

    -Only has chromatic tuning mode unlike the Boss TU-2

    -Footswitch…

    -Strong die cast aluminum case which should last years of touring

    -Only has chromatic tuning mode unlike the Boss TU-2

    -Footswitch is easy to press and makes no popping sound when turned on or off, mechanically or electrically which is quite a nice features as all other footswitches like these tend to produce some sort of sound.


    After owning a Boss TU-2 for a few years and then trying out a few Pitchblack tuners I have decided that I need to sell my Boss and buy a Pitchblack. I find the display on the Pitchblack to be much more pleasant and is true bypass so it doesn't color the tone when it's not engaged like the Boss does. Another reason is that it's also much more accurate than the Boss model. I have also found that the Korg Pitchblack doesn't have a lag between playing a note and displaying how in tune it is unlike the Boss TU-2 unit, this is quite important for me as quick tuning on stage is an essential feature for any tuner that I use. The only other tuner in this price range that I'd consider is the TC Electronics Polytune but as I have no use for the polyphonic tuning feature then I feel the Korg Pitchblack is definitely the best choice for me.

    Simple and well made

    Tuner simple, good quality, discreet and perfect legibility.
    True true bypass (the signal goes direct tuner although not powered), I put it first on my effects chain without concern.
    Exactly the same congestion that Boss (to view pictures I'm smaller).
    Rapid detection of notes, works with both guitar and bass.
    Output jack of the power supply to chain to other effects.

    Very good tuner

    I use it for one month, both in concert again.

    Like its ease of use and reading, he does his job, he told us if we are granted or not! ^ ^ (I use it with a bass and he responded really well!)
    For the moment nothing has bothered me about this product.

    Level value for money, I'd say pretty good, it feels solid, it is reactive, and if you want a tuner type pedal, the price is very correct!

    I think I would do this choice without much hesitation!

    Effective functional

    Korg PitchblackPublished on 01/23/11 at 03:44

    Tuning fast, accurate, highly visible, true bypass, small footprint (size of a standard type pedal boss).

    There are 4 display modes, I use the strobe display 3.

    For small - need to leave the battery to keep the display mode memory, and when left plugged into the jack input, I think it eats the battery (no pb if the tuner is at the beginning of chain ).

    I strongly recommend anyway because it is not very expensive, seems to be solid and filled its function perfectly.
