From studio to stage, tuning is easy and convenient

The GA1 combines the visibility of an LCD screen and the accuracy of a needle

Ultra-Compact LCD Needle-Style Dedicated Guitar and Bass Tuner

High accuracy and superb functionality have made Korg guitar and bass tuners the worldwide favorite. The GA-1 is the latest addition to Korg's best-selling GA series of tuners. With even more features, like a pitch reference tone and quinta-flat tuning, the GA-1 Guitar Tuner packs basic functionality and convenient tuning functions into an ultra-compact body.

High-Precision LCD Meter

The meter section uses a LCD needle, combining the visibility of an LCD screen with the accuracy of a needle, providing a stable display. Additional visual feedback is provided by LEDs that indicate pitch deviation.

Easy to Use

This dedicated guitar and bass tuner lets you select either Guitar mode or Bass mode for truly easy operation with automatic pitch detection. The GA-1 Guitar Tuner mode supports 7-string guitars (7B through 1E). The GA-1 Bass Tuner mode supports up to a 6-string bass (Low-B, Hi-C). A high-sensitivity mic is built-in, allowing easy and accurate tuning of acoustic guitars.

"Tilt Slit"

Although the GA-1 Guitar Tuner is small, thin, and light, don't let its pocket-sized body fool you. The GA-1 guitar and bass tuner 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 guitar pick or coin for use as a handy stand.

Sound Out Provides a Reference Pitch

In addition to visual tuning via meter, the GA-1 Guitar Tuner/Bass Tuner 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 the GA-1's Guitar Tuner mode, or LB->4E->3A->2D->1G->HC in GA-1's Bass Tuner mode.

Quinta Flat Tuning Mode

The GA-1's Quinta Flat Tuning mode supports the lowered tunings used in heavy metal styles to give more weight to the 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.

Auto Power Off Function

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.

Approximately 100 hours of Continuous Use

Low-power consumption design allows an amazing 100 hours (approximate) of continuous battery life (A4 continuous input, Meter mode, zinc-carbon batteries).
