Do you mean PitchBlack? If you do, the answer is yes. I use one. Tunes well and easy to see on stage.

I have one. I use it for band practice when I don't bring the pedal board. It tracks pretty good (no problem with the low B unlike some more expensive tuners). The downfall is that you have to plug it in (if you have mute on your amp=no problem or just turn down your master/unplug the cable at the amp first).

It is now about $17 and well worth it IMO. I bought it when it was $20. Handy backup and works fine.

Learn something every day don't you. Doesn't look too practical for stage use though.

Yeah, it is good for an inexpensive backup/practice tuner...unless your amp has a tuner out jack in front and you have a mute switch (I saw someone who has this pitchjack with their Thunderfunk).

I've got one I use all the time at home. I'm not doing intonation setups with it, but it seems to do it's thang just fine... I'd buy it again.

After using a Pitchjack for about six months, I can say its doing a great job for me.

I'm using it in the tuner out from my Genz 9.0. If I use it with my Sansamp ParaDriver, I put it in the parallel input. Very fast, easy and usable. Seems to be pretty accurate too.

Works great here as well.
Definately worth the 18 bucks.
