Pitchblack XS - CHROMATIC PEDAL TUNER Newly developed pedal

tuner with a unique and compact design, which adopts the exclusive solution of the switch integrated in the large display; selection between TRUE BYPASS and new ULTRA BUFFER circuits that avoid tonal degradation of the signal, Display and LED METER with brightness adjustment, high-precision tuning only ±0.1 cent of tolerance, 4 display modes, just-right tuning mode integrated, powered by AC adapter (optional), ideal for installation on very crowded pedalboards

Switching between TRUE BYPASS and the new Pitchblack XS ULTRA BUFFER

, in addition to having a TRUE BYPASS circuit that leaves the input sound unchanged, now also includes the new ULTRA BUFFER. But why is this aspect so important?

Most electric guitars use passive pickups with high impedance output. The use of cables longer than 6 meters leads to a tonal degradation usually at high frequencies; a phenomenon that tends to worsen when using longer cables. The BUFFER increases the signal on long cables to avoid precisely this tonal alteration, keeping the sound clear and clean even with the pedal off. The ULTRA BUFFER improves sound quality in Bypass mode, to maintain audio quality even when using long cables to connect the tuner or installing it in an articulated effects pedalboard. On Pitchblack XS, it is possible to select the TRUE BYPASS or the ULTRA BUFFER, based on personal tastes and needs

Unique and compact design with a large display

Pitchblack XS is characterized by a unique design with the foot switch integrated into the display, a factor that has made it possible to balance the size, robustness and visibility of the display itself. It has a sturdy cabinet with a durable powder finish, the switch is able to respond at any time, wherever it is pressed regardless of the position or angle of the foot or the pedal itself

The METER LED can adjust the light mode for better visibility.

On Pitchblack XS to achieve better visibility performance, a larger display and a larger number of LEDs have been introduced in the METER. The Bright Mode (brightness adjustment) can be adjusted on 2 levels, to obtain optimal visibility even in critical operating conditions such as on highly illuminated stages, or outside

Very high tuning accuracy up to 0.1 cent tolerance.

Pitchblack XS allows fast and precise tuning with a tolerance of only 0.1 cents when in Strobe mode; this makes it the ideal tool for professional Live or Recording situations where pitch is a fundamental parameter where approximations or inaccuracies are not allowed.

METER with 4 display modes

On the Meter Display it is possible to choose, depending on personal needs, between 4 types of display during the tuning phase: REGULAR, STROBE, HALF STROBE, they indicate the changes in height from the direction and fluctuation of the METER, to distinguish even the smallest differences in height; MIRROR, on the other hand, displays two LEDs on the left and on the right that cross towards the

Display with JUST-RIGHT TUNING function

Pitchblack XS has a new “JUST-RIGHT TUNING” display function, which blinks the triangular LEDs placed on both sides when the tuning is correct,
