Korg GA1 guitar and Bass Tuner–Featuring a Quinta Flat Tuning Mode

The Korg GA1 offers the same excellent features as the top-selling GA30 tuner but with a new enhanced design. High accuracy and superb functionality have made Korg tuners a worldwide favorite. With even more features–like a pitch reference tone and quinta-flat tuning–the Korg GA1 tuner packs basic functionality and convenient tuning functions into an ultra-compact body.

Small, thin, light and powerful.

An Easy-to-Use Dedicated guitar and Bass Tuner
The Korg GA1 is a dedicated guitar/bass tuner that lets you select either guitar mode or Bass mode for truly easy operation with automatically detected pitch. The wide detection range supports 7-string guitar (7B through 1E) in Guitar mode, and 6-string bass (Low-B, Hi-C) in Bass mode. A high-sensitivity mic is built in, allowing easy and accurate tuning of acoustic guitars.

Ultra-Compact Body with a “Tilt Slit”
Although the Korg GA1 is small, thin, and light, don’t let its pocket-sized body fool you. The GA1 can accurately tune any guitar or bass. From studio to stage, tuning is easy and convenient. The back of the unit includes a unique arc-shaped tilt slit that lets you insert a plastic card to use as a handy stand. The meter section uses an LCD needle, combining the accuracy of an LCD with the easy visibility of a needle, and providing a stable display. LEDs that indicate pitch deviation provide additional visual feedback.

Features an ease-to-read LCD display.

High-Precision Display and Sound
The meter section uses an LCD needle, combining the accuracy of an LCD with the easy visibility of a needle, and providing a stable display. Additional visual feedback is provided by LEDs that indicate pitch deviation. In addition to visual tuning via meter, the GA-1 can play reference pitches from its internal speaker (Sound Out) for tuning by ear. Each press of the Sound switch will cycle the output sound through 7B->6E->5A->4D->3G->2B->1E in Guitar mode, or LB->4E->3A->2D->1G->HC in Bass mode.

Quinta Flat Tuning Mode–A World-Wide First
The Quinta Flat Tuning mode supports lowered tunings used in heavy metal styles to give more weight to your sound. Until now, dedicated guitar tuners have supported a maximum of only four semitones below standard pitch. But the GA-1 gives you five steps of flatted tuning, extending as far as five semitones below standard pitch, and supporting even super-long scale guitars that are five frets longer than conventional guitars.

Power-Saving Functions
If you leave the unit powered-on for 20 minutes without performing any operation, the Auto Power Off function will turn the power off automatically, avoiding unnecessary battery consumption. Low-power consumption design allows an amazing 100 hours (approximate) of continuous battery life (A4 continuous input, Meter mode, zinc-carbon batteries).
