With an incredibly slim, ultracompact design and a large, highly visible display, the Pitchblack X Mini Compact Tuning Pedal from Korg is an advanced and flexible tuning stompbox with a wide tuning range, high detection accuracy within ±0.1 cents, and a small, sleek size that comes packed with all the superior tuner functionality that the Pitchblack pedals have become renowned for. The adjustable, bright LED display can be easily viewed from any angle, under any lighting conditions, and comes with three display modes: Meter/Regular, Full Strobe, and Half Strobe.
Tuning can be calibrated manually in 1 Hz steps and sports battery compatibility for maximum portability. When tuning is done and it comes time to play, a true bypass circuit passes your signal directly to the bypass output without any coloring, perfect for use with large pedalboard setups. As the newest and smallest edition to the Pitchblack line, the Mini comes with handy stabilization feet to ensure it never turns over or moves out of place when stomped in a hurry.
Three Display Modes
Despite its ultra-small size, the Pitchblack X Mini features a large and easy-to-read LED meter with a light-emitting surface for excellent visibility in any setting from daylight to stage light, to no light. The smooth seventeen-segment LED meter allows accurate visual tuning from any angle and the large note name display also features a tuning guide that indicates whether your instrument is sharp or flat. The LED meter can be switched between three display modes including:
- Regular Mode: Similar to a needle meter, this mode allows you to tune by lining up the green LED with the center, with lights to the right being sharp and lights to the left being flat.
- Full Strobe Mode: Tune your instrument by making the LED meters stop streaming. The LED meters will stream from left to right if your instrument is sharp and from right to left if it is flat.
- Half Strobe Mode: Tune your instrument by making the LED meters stop streaming and only the green LED in the center is lit. When pitch is correct, only the center LED will be lit.
100% True Bypass
The true bypass design allows for the input signal to become output signal with absolutely no change or coloration (when the tuner is off). In other words, the tuner circuit does not change, degrade, or modify your sound in any way. Since the input sound is completely muted when the tuner is on, this unit is ideal for use on stage.
Versatile and Adjustable
The Pitchblack Mini has a wide detection range of E0 to C8 and high detection accuracy within ±0.1 cent. The detection range can even be calibrated between 436 and 445 Hz in 1 Hz steps, using the handy calibration button in the rear of the pedal. Also in the rear is a button for changing display modes, and the pedal will remember your last display setting, even when turned off, as long as batteries or the AC adapter remain connected.
