Hot Tub Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I'm interested in the Korg Pitchblack - anyone using one? Good/bad/indifferent? Or any other recommendations? It's got to be a pedal and not rackmount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassoctopus Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Pitchblack user here. And since I got mine another 3 musicians I play with also bought one as mine was so good. Best pedal tuner out there IMO. Recommended from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Tub Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Thanks for that. It certainly seems to get some very good reviews. Think I feel some GAS coming on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Foster Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Yeah it's great! What swung it for me was an incredible YouTube demo by a man with very limited English. If anyone's seen it that will make sense to them. Most of all I like it because whenever I use it someone always asks 'What's that?', and I can reply nonchalantly, 'Oh, it's just my tuner.' Then I hit them with the [b]four different LED settings [size=6]SKADOOOOSH![/size][/b] Also, it's apparently 1 cent more accurate than the Boss TU-2, not that it makes any difference.

Raggy Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 +1 to all the above, mine is ace and well worth it IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I'll get shouted down no doubt for raising the name of the much accursed Behringer but their pedal tuner works fine, had one for a while and it seems to do everything that other more expensive pedal tuners (like Boss) do. My only slight irritation is if you use it in chromatic mode the notation for being perfectly sharp is a very small dot after the note letter which can be hard to see, a proper # symbol would be clearer. If you use it in other modes it is clearer to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, the Korg gets my vote 'cause it just looks too damn cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
