Johnebass Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Hi, Anyone had any experience with the Korg Pitchblack Mini. There are a few posts about the standard Pitchblack and most say that it's a good unit but I like the idea of a smaller one that will fit better in my gigbag. My main concern is that because of it's small size it will have problems staying upright and get dragged across the stage by the cable. I know that it has little fold out feet but do they really work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 If you're worried that it might get dragged across the stage, that suggests you don't have a pedalboard. If you don't have a pedalboard, that suggests you probably won't use mains power and will use a battery. This won't take a battery If you are using mains power, by the time you've packed this and the PSU, size wise, you may as well have taken a Boss tuner with battery?!

I just need something on the floor that lights up and won't get dragged about. I wondered if this might be a little too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Ah fair play, didn't see about the lithium batteries . I think even a TU-3 would move around if you move around a lot. An idea would be to have some Velcro on your amp, that you could affix the tuner to at the start of each gig?! Assuming you don't have a tall amp Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
