Advanced color LCD provides a new dimension of visibility.
In the first for KORG's clip-type tuners, these models feature a color LCD display. A high-brightness white backlight and an extremely clear color VA meter provide high contrast and a wide viewing angle. In addition to improving visibility, the text and the meter display are color-coded for dramatically easier recognition. Rather than having to "watch" the meter, the performer merely has to "sense" it; these models allow instant recognition of your tuning status.
A slimmer, easier to use design.
The body is slimmer and more stylish than ever. The battery holder and buttons have been moved to the rear surface of the tuner in order to improve functionality and reduce size. Such attention to detail is particularly important for compact products such as these units.
Improved design also leads to improved usability. Slimming-down allows the PitchHawk-G2 to fold completely flat, allowing convenient storage in the pocket of your gig bag or case. The four buttons on the rear surface are positioned left/right/up/down for intuitive operation even when out of sight, simultaneously satisfying the requirements of both functionality and design.
Dedicated guitar/bass modes, and even allows flat/capo settings.
In addition to the conventional chromatic mode, the PitchHawk-G2 gives you a choice of guitar mode or bass mode. In each mode, the string number is shown beside the note name, letting you tune confidently and easily. You can also make flat and capo settings*, ensuring that you'll always be able to tune appropriately for your performance situation.
*Flat settings are available on guitar/bass modes, and capo settings are available in guitar mode.
The high precision and sensitivity that you expect from KORG
When it comes to clip-type tuners, one may expect convenience to be emphasized more than accuracy. However, when time is of the essence, like when you're on stage, high accuracy and sensitivity are mandatory. Since creating the WT-10 - the world's first needle-type meter tuner - in 1975, KORG has accumulated a long history in tuner development, making it uniquely able to deliver the high accuracy and sensitivity that’s provided by the PitchHawk-G2. As you can see from the immediate response of the meter when you play a string, the wide range of detection from low to high notes, and the piezo pickup that accurately detects only your instrument, even when playing with a band , it’s apparent that KORG has not made any compromises with the PitchHawk-G2.
A clip mechanism that provides strong holding power as well as flexibility.
As on the previous models, the clip is designed to make the connection as efficient as possible, ensuring a firm grasp.
The PitchHawk-G2 firmly adheres to various shapes and sizes to accommodate the headstock of your guitar or bass. Even if you move around actively while performing, there's no danger that vibration or weight will cause the tuner to shift.
The double mechanism of a movable arm and ball joint simultaneously provide both durability and a free range of angle settings. Players have the flexibility to position the tuner wherever they need, and the confidence that it will stay in that position.
Over-winding warning for the first string, ideal for the beginner
When in guitar mode, the PitchHawk-G2 helps prevent string breakage by showing a "First string over-winding indicator" on the display if it detects that the thin first string has been tightened excessively. This is especially useful for beginners who may not be familiar with the tuning procedure.
Calibration, auto power-off, and memory backup functions
A variety of functions are available to support your tuning endeavors: the calibration function allows a variety of concert tunings, the auto power-off function saves the battery if you forget to turn the unit off, and the memory backup function preserves your settings even when the power is off.
