Description of KORG Pitchblack XS Bass
Sometimes bassists find that standard tuners struggle with low frequencies, and that’s exactly when the KORG Pitchblack XS Bass steps in, bringing confidence and precision to any stage or studio session.
It’s important to understand from the start — this is more than just a tuner; it’s a dedicated tool designed specifically for bass players. There are no unnecessary extras here: every detail serves a purpose, allowing you to focus entirely on your playing. Low notes that often waver or get lost with traditional tuners are picked up quickly and accurately by this unit. That makes life so much easier — particularly when playing live or recording in the studio, where even the slightest inaccuracy is instantly noticeable.

Product overview
The standout feature of the KORG Pitchblack XS Bass is that it combines pedalboard-friendly proportions with outstanding accuracy. Designed with modern players and tightly packed pedalboards in mind, it fits seamlessly into compact setups while still offering a large, easy-to-read display. Even in the middle of a loud gig, a quick glance is all you need to check your tuning with confidence.
The pedal offers multiple display modes: traditional needle, strobe-style, and other variations, so you can choose the workflow that best suits your playing. The true bypass design ensures your signal passes through uncoloured and dynamic, which is especially critical for bass, where every low note needs to stay clear and defined.
Professional musicians will appreciate the high level of accuracy: ±0.1 cent is the kind of precision associated with studio-grade equipment. Yet beginners will also benefit — such responsiveness makes it easier to get used to accurate tuning and develop a good ear. Added to this is long-term reliability: a durable metal housing stands up to constant rehearsals and touring, while the footswitch is engineered to withstand thousands of activations.
This isn’t about flashy gimmicks. It’s a tool with a clear purpose — delivering precise, reliable, and comfortable tuning for bass guitar in any setting.
Who is it for?
The KORG Pitchblack XS Bass is a great choice for both beginners and seasoned professionals. If you’re just learning, it clearly shows how cleanly your strings are tuned and helps you develop your sense of pitch. For gigging bassists, it becomes a reliable workhorse: you won’t risk playing through an entire song out of tune without realising it.
Self-taught players, studio musicians, sound engineers, and producers alike will find a dependable partner in this tuner. In the studio, it ensures perfect intonation, and on stage, the display remains clear even under bright spotlights. Its convenience and intuitive operation make it accessible to musicians of every level.
