With its compact footprint, highly visible screen, and incredible accuracy, the Pitchblack XS deserves a spot on your bass guitar pedalboard. You can choose between a true bypass or a Korg-developed Ultra Buffer; the latter will boost the signal over long cable runs for no loss in tone or clarity — a must-have when performing or recording. Also, Korg integrated the switch into the display of the Pitchblack XS to reserve all possible surface area for the LED screen. There are four meter display modes to choose from and two brightness modes to ensure visibility even on dark stages. Lastly, ultra-high tuning accuracy within 0.01 cents means you’ll always be ready to rock and roll. City Music’s verdict? A dependable tuning pedal is an absolute essential — don’t leave home without the Korg Pitchblack XS!
Bass-friendly additions
Holding the low end down in the studio or onstage? The Korg Pitchblack XS is ready to deliver. Bassists can choose from four meter displays, including regular, strobe, half strobe, and mirror. With strobe and half strobe mode, changes in pitch are viewed through the direction and speed of the meter. With mirror mode, two LEDs on both hands of the screen cross toward the center and meet once you’ve successfully tuned. What’s more, an added “just-right tuning” display function makes the triangular LEDs on the sides of the display blink once you’ve reached proper tuning. It all equates to a compact, highly accurate pedal that is sure to be a winner on your ’board.
