The Pitchblack

This modern accessory offers an accuracy of ±0.1 cents in strobe mode and is capable of detecting the tiniest variations in height. This is essential for musicians who want perfect tuning, whether in concert or in the studio.

With its Ultra Buffer technology, the PB-X maintains sound quality in bypass mode, even when you use a long cable or insert the tuner into a complex effects setup.

The Pitchblack X's LED display is clear and easy to read, even in the dark. It's larger than most other tuners and has more LEDs, making it easy to see notes and octaves.

This tuner offers the choice between 4 different display modes, each with its own advantages:

- Regular mode: This standard mode displays an LED bar and a strobe image of the note played.

- Stroboscopic mode: It displays a stroboscopic image of the note played, which makes it easier to see if the note is in tune. It allows for even more precise tuning by using more LEDs on the screen to locate the right note.

- Half-strobe mode: This mode is a combination of the two previous modes. It displays an LED bar and a strobe image of the note simultaneously.

- Mirror mode: Upside down display on the screen.
