Korg Pitchblack X Mini Chromatic Pedal Tuner - Ultra Buffer | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Korg Pitchblack X Mini chromatic tuner combines precision tuning accuracy with space-saving design and innovative Ultra Buffer technology. This compact pedal tuner features ±0.1 cent strobe accuracy, four display modes, and enhanced visibility for challenging lighting conditions. Perfect for pedalboard-conscious guitarists demanding professional tuning precision without sacrificing valuable real estate.
Product Overview
The Pitchblack X mini is the smallest tuner in the Pitchblack X series, and offers stress-free insertion into your gear-packed effects board. Weighing just 124 grams, this tuner features a powdered finish with a strong and durable housing that withstands the rigors of professional use. Despite its compact dimensions, the Mini delivers the same exceptional accuracy and functionality as its larger siblings.
The built-in Ultra Buffer technology addresses the common problem of tone loss through long cable runs and complex pedalboard setups. The majority of electric guitars use passive pickups with a high impedance output, and cable runs over 18 feet typically result in high-frequency loss. The Ultra Buffer enhances sound quality in bypass mode, maintaining audio clarity even when using long cables or inserting the tuner into complex effects chains.
Besides the enlarged display, more meter LEDs have been added for superior visibility. The bright mode can be set at one of two levels, ensuring clear display visibility even in difficult conditions such as brightly lit stages and bright outdoor environments. Four display modes (Regular, Strobe, Half-strobe, Mirror) accommodate different viewing preferences and lighting situations.
Ideal For
- Pedalboard-conscious guitarists needing precision tuning in minimal footprint
- Live performers using complex effects chains requiring tone preservation
- Studio musicians demanding studio-grade accuracy in compact format
- Touring musicians needing durable, lightweight tuning solutions
- Musicians performing in challenging lighting conditions requiring enhanced visibility
Key Features
Ultra Buffer Technology
The ULTRA BUFFER enhances the sound quality in bypass mode, so that you can still maintain audio quality even when using a long cable to connect to the tuner, or when inserting the tuner into a complex effects board. Prevents high-frequency loss common with passive pickups over extended cable runs.
