Leave your amp plugged in while you tune up.

The GA-40 Electronic Guitar and Bass Tuner is equipped with an output jack so you can leave your amp plugged in. An ultra-large LCD screen provides excellent visibility. Adjustable calibration range (410-480Hz). Tunes 6 & 7 string guitars and 4-, 5-, and 6-string basses. Pure major/minor 3rd pitch indication marks. Includes reference tone, microphone, speaker, folding stand, auto power off, memory backup, and batteries. This chromatic auto-tuner works with all types of instruments.

Dedicated guitar and bass tuner with large LCD for easy viewing 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. 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.

Sound Out function produces a reference tone from the internal speaker 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.

Conveniently thin and compact 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.

Auto Power Off function 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.

Approximately 85 hours of continuous use 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).

*Even if a sound is within the detectable pitch range, detection may be unsuccessful for instrumental sounds that contain a large number of overtones or that decay rapidly.

Korg tuners and metronomes purchased from a Korg USA authorized dealer now have a three year warranty.

Best Tuner I Have Ever Used!

Yes, this is by far the best tuner for the price I have ever used in my 5 years of playing. Its built well,light weight,user friendly, and very deadly accurate! I recommend this tuner to any one who wants affordable accurate tuner.

Easy to use, easy to read

Nice LCD screen on this tuner - always easy to read even from a distance. You can insert this tuner into your signal chain to make tuning changes quickly, but I wouldn't suggest it. The signal quality does tend to decrease a bit with this tuner - if you want to have a tuner that you keep in your signal chain, get a high quality pedal tuner. If you want an inexpensive, easy-to-use, easy-to-read tuner for guitar or bass, this is the one!

Korg GA-40

I bought the Korg GA-40 Electronic Guitar and Bass Tuner because I needed a second tuner for loan outs and when I'm going to the beach and don't want to take the chance of ruining an expensive piece of electronics.I like the GA-40 a lot, its tuning range is wide and I like that it gives reference pitches and also has an output jack which a lot of cheap tuners don't have.In addition to all that it also has a built in mic so you can tune your acoustic instruments.Last but not least the display readout is clear and easy to see in a variety of lighting conditions.

Korg GA-40 Electronic Guitar and Bass

I "had" this tuner for about half a year until it broke. I would put the tuner in my back pocket after I used it like I ways did, until one night it decided to stop working so i changes the batteries but it still didn't work. I think this is just a cheap tuner to use if you do not have enough money to get a pedal tuner. My advise to anyone looking for a tuner, is to get a pedal one.It makes tuning on the fly and between songs so much faster.
