My Pitchblack has always been really good, but I just replaced it with a TU3 as I wanted a buffer.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Now we're getting somewhere.
I suspected this but if it's true, surely the interwebz would be alive with pitchforks?


See what I did there
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I've found the TC Polytune to be pretty accurate. It certainly helps to quickly isolate the strings that need a tweak.

My experience is they are quick on single,useless on poly. Have a pitch clip I use all the time,but poly is hopeless.same goes for the pitchblacks and floor polytunes I've had. Clip on tuners getting confused is understandable though,lots of vibration 📳 to try sort out :)

No. Tor's video was adamant that cocking up the download would kill the pedal.
Guess what....

I am uncharacteristically pissed about this. :roll:
