Korg GA-40 Large Display Guitar and Bass Tuner

The GA-40 is a dedicated, easy-to-operate guitar/bass tuner with automatic pitch detection. In Guitar mode it supports seven-string guitars (7B through 1E), and in Bass mode it supports Six-String Basses (Low-B and Hi-C). With the precision you expect from KORG, the GA-40 indicates the pitch quickly and accurately.

Features an LCD needle-style display.

The LCD needle-style display provides both the accuracy of an LCD as well as the easy viewing of a needle indicator, and the display has been enlarged for even better visibility. You can also use the built-in high-sensitivity microphone to tune an acoustic guitar.

Packed with Features
With superior features like a large, easy-to-see, LCD needle-style display, the GA-40 dedicated Guitar/Bass Tuner is a great value. The GA-40 is a compact tuner designed specifically for guitar and bass, with excellent performance and convenient functionality. It comes with a large, high-precision meter-type display for stable tuning indication. The Quinta-Flat Tuning mode allows dropped tunings from one to five semitones. It supports tuning of seven-string guitars and six-string basses. Its Sound Out function lets you produce a reference tone from the internal speaker. It comes complete with a Memory Backup function.

Push-button control.

Sound Out Function
In addition to letting you tune visually using the meter, the GA-40 provides a Sound Out function that plays a reference tone through the internal speaker, letting you tune by ear. Each time you press the Sound switch, the tone will cycle through 7B->6E->5A->4D->3G->2B->1E in Guitar mode, or through LB->4E->3A->2D->1G->HC in Bass mode.

Quinta Flat Tuning Mode
To support the dropped tunings used in heavy metal styles to produce a powerfully massive sound, the GA-40 provides a Quinta Flat Tuning mode that lets you detect dropped tunings of one through five semitones. This lets you tune super-long scale guitars that extend below the pitch range of conventional guitars.

Compact and Thin
The GA-40 gives you convenient guitar and bass tuning functionality in a pocket-sized package, making it easy to tune whether you're on stage or in the studio. An output jack (bypass) has been added, making it easy to check the tuning even while you're performing. The stand on the back lets you place the tuner on any surface.

Power Saving Functions
The Auto Power Off function automatically turns the power off after the unit has been left on for twenty minutes, preventing the batteries from running down needlessly. The GA-40 is designed for long battery life, and allows approximately 85 hours of continuous use (continuous A4 input, Meter mode, zinc-carbon batteries).

Great! Works perfectly!

I just started on my way tolearn how to play the guitar and having your guitar tuned is one of the most important things as you dont want to get used to the wrong tones on the wrong strings. This little device works great and helps you tune your guitar quite fast and easy. I think it does a great job and I would definitely recommend it. Plus, the price is great!

Great digital tuner

This is a very good digital tuner. So simple to use. Hit the note, and watch the needle on the display. Tighten strings, and repeat. Very handy and small enough to drop in your guitar case pocket.
