Korg GT120 Overview

The Korg GT120 Guitar & Bass Chromatic Tuner features a needle-type meter popular for its clear visibility and stable detection. The backlit LCD screen also shows the calibration setting, flat mode, note name, and the remaining battery life. Flat (b) and sharp (#) LEDs light to indicate pitch drift or perfect tuning, and are easily visible even on a dimly lit stage. In addition to Auto and Manual modes, the GT-120 supports five additional six-string guitar tunings (open E, A, D, G and DADGAD) and is ideal for tuning seven-string guitars and six-string basses. It also offers a flat tuning mode that can detect dropped pitches up to four semi-tones below standard pitch. A stand, located on the back allows convenient placement on an amp or other surface.

A built-in microphone is provided for tuning acoustic guitars and acoustic basses. The Korg GT-120 has 1/4" input and output jacks. It can operate for over 100 hours on two AAA batteries or can be powered by an optional AC adapter. A soft case is also included.

Auto and Manual Tuning Modes
The GT-120 supports seven-string guitars and six-string basses. In Auto mode, string names are automatically detected and the LCD automatically shows the name of the note that's closest to the pitch you play. In Manual mode, you first choose the name of the note (C-B) you intend to tune
Open and Flat Tuning
The GT-120 supports open tunings often used with slide guitar or finger picking, with five tunings that include open D/E/G/A as well as DADGAD. The flat tunings are also supported, down to four semitones below standard pitch.
Built-In Microphone
Need to tune an acoustic guitar on the fly? The built-in mic makes it easy.
Adjustable Calibration
The calibration can be adjusted in a range of 438-445 Hz to accommodate a variety of standard pitches. With its wide detection range of A0-C8, the GT-120 lets you tune to any song or key.
Reference Pitch
The GT-120 can play a reference pitch in a range of C2 (65.41 Hz)-C7 (2093 Hz), letting you tune using your ears while you also watch the meter. The large speaker provides extra volume.
Long Battery Life
This tuner is designed for an extended battery life of approximately 100 hours when running on two AAA batteries. It can also be used with an AC adapter (sold separately).
