Korg Pitchblack Review

I have to say. this pedal is amazing. i bought it a few days before my band's first show and it really lives up to the hype. Its super accurate, easy to read, and very responsive. I could tune both my jazz and ray34 to any kind of tuning within a few seconds without having to do it by ear and worrying if its right or wrong. If i didn't have the tuner i would have been screwed during the show because our band did some songs that were in drop c, d, half step and trying to tune to all of those tunings by ear in a few seconds is pretty hard for me. It was definitely beneficial to the success of our show. I can see why the rhythm and lead guitarists in my band use these tuners. they rock!

+1. Been rolling with one for about a year now and I love it.

So nice to not have everyone in the place hear me while tuning up.

I just bought one a few months ago... I never thought I would ever rant and rave about a tuner, but this one proved me wrong... great pedal!

Great pedal, and there's a big difference in Internet prices. Don't pay too much for this pedal, search for the lowest price!

I paid the same price new as most people around here-ask for a used Pitchblack!

I have 2, for 2 different boards.
I got a $20 rebate from Korg on mine, and that
was after some kind of MF discount. I think I paid
$59 for it new in a box.
Love Pitchblack.

Awesome tuner! I've had mine for over a year and I love it. I previously had a Planet Waves tuner, and then used the onboard tuner on my M9... both had problems tracking the low B quickly and accurately... never had an issue with either with the Pitchblack!

I've had mine probably about 10 months now and it's great. My TU-2 now just sits in front of my practice rig at home.

Another happy owner here: I use it on bass, Moog, and Rhodes. Best tuner ever.

Yep...another happy Korg user here also! I use it when I play my MarkBass rig (and a rackmount when I play the Ampeg rig) Great pedal! Does a really nice job with little to no effort. Easy to read on a darkened stage!

I purchased a pitch black from a fellow tb'er not too long ago and I love it. Very easy to use and see.

I had borrowed one from a former guitarist a few weeks ago and used it at practice. It was good for reading in a lot of light... BUT!

When I took home to put it on my board, something was wrong. I couldn't get it to work in the tuner out of my FV-50H.

Anyone got an idea what could be wrong?

Pitchblack is a great pedal, came as a surprise after some disappointment I had with Korg rackmount tuners.

But I bought a TC Electronic PolyTune since and IMO it beats even the Pitchblack!

I can feel the hate rise in my heart when someone at practice tunes at full volume on their iPhone.
