Main features
Precision Tuning
The pitchblack+ uses two LED meters to
allow extremely accurate tuning with a
precision of better than ±0.1 cents.
Tuning modes
The pitchblack+ supports a variety of tunings
including chromatic, guitar and bass, as well as
five open tunings for guitar.
In addition to equal temperament, you can
specify your own temperaments, such as the
tunings of ethnic instruments or stretched
tuning. A temperament you create can be saved
as a temperament program in one of five
internal memories.

Flat tuning
You can tune your instrument down to seven
semitone steps below the note name shown in
the display.
Input jacks
The pitchblack+ provides two input jacks,
INPUT A and INPUT B. You can specify
calibration, tuning mode, flat tuning, and
display mode individually for each input jack.
If you’ve connected an instrument to only one
of these jacks, you’ll be able to choose from two
sets of settings for your instrument.
Display mode
You can choose from six types of display
patterns for the LED meter. A variety of
illumination patterns are provided, including a
Meter that lights in the center when you're in
tune, a Strobe type meter that stops the flow of
illumination when the tuning is correct, and
Focus that uses dual LED meters to allow even
higher precision tuning.
BYPASS jack
When the tuner is off, the bypass output
delivers true bypass, in which the output signal
is completely unaffected by the internal
circuitry. The bypass output is muted when the
tuner is on.
DC 9V OUT jack
If you’re using the optional AC adapter (9V
), you can use the included DC cable to
supply
power for effect pedals that use
9V ( ). (A maximum of 200 mA can be
supplied.)

Installing the battery
1Open the lid of the battery compartment
located on the bottom of the unit.
2Attach a battery to the battery connector.
Make sure that the battery is oriented in the
correct polarity.
3Fit the battery into the battery compartment
and close the lid.
When the battery nears the end of its life, the
TUNER ON/OFF indicator will blink. Please
install a new battery as soon as possible.
The included battery is provided so that
you can verify that the unit is operating
correctly; its lifespan may be shorter than
normal.
Restoring the factory settings
Here’s how to return the pitchblack+ to the
factory settings.
1Connect a cable to the INPUT A or INPUT B
jack; the pitchblack+ will be powered-on.
2While holding down the UP button and
DOWN button, press the TUNER ON/OFF
switch.
The tuner will turn off, and the following
settings will return to their factory-set state.
Calibration: 440 Hz (40)
Tuning mode: Chromatic (CH)
Flat tuning: 0
Display mode: Focus (F1)
Temperament program: 0 cent for all notes

DO NOT let the un-

can damage the AC
adapter. Be sure the
unused plugs are pro-
tected
Power-off all equipment before making connections.
The INPUT A, INPUT B, and BYPASS jacks are mono-only. Stereo cables cannot be used.

INPUT A & INPUT B jacks
Connect the instrument(s) to be tuned to these
jacks.
If your instruments are connected to both
INPUT A and INPUT B, use the INPUT SELECT
switch to choose the instrument you want to
tune. The INPUT SELECT indicator shows the
instrument whose input jack is selected.
You can specify the calibration, tuning mode,
flat tuning, and display mode independently
for each input jack. For example you can
specify regular tuning for the instrument
connected to INPUT A, and “open A” tuning
for the instrument connected to INPUT B.

If you connect just one instrument to either
INPUT A or INPUT B (not both), you can use
the INPUT SELECT switch to choose either A or
B settings (calibration, tuning mode, flat tuning,
display mode). The INPUT SELECT indicator
shows the settings you’ve selected.
For example if you’ve specified regular tuning
for A and flat tuning at a semitone lower for B,
you can use the setting A to perform in regular
tuning, and then switch to setting B and
perform in flat tuning.

If instruments are connected to both INPUT
A and INPUT B, and you disconnect the
cable from the input jack currently selected
by the INPUT SELECT switch, the input
selection will automatically switch to the
other input jack.

BYPASS jack
Connect this jack to your effect pedal or amp, etc.
When the tuner is on, the sound from the
instrument connected to the INPUT A or INPUT
B jack will be muted. When the tuner is off, the
sound from the instrument connected to the
input jack will be audible. Since this is “true
bypass,” the output sound is unaffected by the
internal circuit. If instruments are connected to
both INPUT A and INPUT B jacks, use the
INPUT SELECT switch to choose the instrument
that will be audible from the BYPASS jack. The
INPUT SELECT indicator shows the input jack
that is selected. If an instrument is connected
only to the INPUT A or INPUT B jack (not both),
the sound of the connected instrument will
always be audible from the BYPASS jack,
regardless of the INPUT SELECT switch.
DC 9V IN jack
If you want to use an AC adapter to supply
power to the pitchblack+, you can use the
optional AC adapter (9V 600 milliamps).
Using any other AC adapter may cause
malfunctions.
DC 9V OUT jack
By using the included DC cable with the
optional AC adapter, you can supply power to
up to three effect pedals or other devices that
use 9V power ( ).
Make sure that the total current consump-
tion of the connected effect pedals does not
exceed 200 mA. You must also check the
polarity of the connected effect pedals.
Do not connect an AC adapter to the DC 9V
OUT jack. This may cause malfunctions.
If the pitchblack+ is operating on battery
power, power cannot be supplied from the
DC 9V OUT jack.
