Features
Since its debut in 2008, the KORG Pitchblack pedal tuner has earned a
reputation as a trusted and indispensable part of every pedal board,
thanks to its high sensitivity, great visibility, and sturdy
construction. Now, to continue the legacy of the Pitchblack, we
introduce the Pitchblack Custom.
The Pitchblack Custom features the first vertical 3D visual meter on a
pedal tuner. Three-dimensional lights and versatile display modes
deliver an unprecedented level of visibility. In addition to allowing
ultra-high +/- 0.1 cent tuning precision, it features true bypass
switching that prevents any coloration of your tone. Designed with the
needs of professionals in mind, the Pitchblack Custom will provide years
of trouble-free operation. The durable aluminum die cast body provides a
DC output that allows parallel connection for powering other effects
pedals. The Pitchblack Custom offers unbeatable visibility and accuracy
for all guitarists and bassists and is the clear choice for
professionals.

- Ultra-high tuning accuracy of +/- 0.1 cents

- True bypass prevents any coloration or loss in the sound
- DC out allows parallel connection for powering other effect pedals

KORG tuners have a 40-year history that began with the world�s first
needle-style tuner. While we have produced many different types of
tuners, including tuners with unrivaled precision and tuners with
epoch-making functionality, these products were made possible by KORG�s
unwavering commitment to quality. In other words, our attitude of
sincerely listening to the voice of the user, our revolutionary ideas,
and our high level of technological ability are what underlie the long
history of KORG tuners.
Now, KORG announces a new lineup aimed at achieving even greater
accomplishments. The name �Custom Shop� designates this tuner as a
flagship model that is representative of KORG�s highest levels of
technology. Its design features a beautiful meter displayed by a CMD
panel, ultra-precision detection, and careful attention paid to
appearance and feel. KORG�s high technological ability and commitment to
quality have taken shape as the �Custom Shop� name.
The 3D visual meter exemplifies the Custom Shop series. A large and
easily visible note name indication and the distinct movement of
brightly illuminated LEDs make the pitch difference and change instantly
recognizable. This new 3D visual meter makes it simple to tune with a
precision of �0.1 cent.
Designed with the professional user in mind, KORG�s Pitchblack Custom
offers extremely accurate tuning with a detection range of +/- 0.1
cents, a level of precision that is uncommon of pedal tuners. With the
Pitchblack Custom, players of all styles can now enjoy the same
ultra-high precision offered in KORG�s flagship tuner, the Pitchblack
Pro.
Choose from four meter display modes to suit your playing style. In
addition to the standard �Regular A mode,� you can use �Strobe mode� or
�Half-strobe mode� in which the direction and speed of meter movement
indicate the pitch change for easy visualization of even minute
differences, as well as �Regular B mode� in which the meter rises by
being stacked from bottom to top toward a reference line --- a mode
that�s possible only with KORG�s vertical display.
A broader range of pitch is provided for the lower side of the meter (lower pitch) to an easier tuning experience.
The true bypass design allows the input sound to be output with
absolutely no change (when the tuner is off). In other words, the tuner
circuit does not change, degrade, or color 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.
If a separately sold AC adaptor is used, the DC OUT jack can supply
power to another effect unit. Since a dedicated power supply circuit is
provided for DC OUT, it can provide stable and noiseless 9V 200 mA
power.
The high-efficiency, long-life design allows for approximately three
times longer operation than the previous model. Operating life is
approximately 15 hours when using zinc-carbon batteries, and
approximately 30 hours when using alkaline batteries, giving the
Pitchblack Custom the longest operating life of any pedal tuner.
