NUX HD Pitch Mini Guitar Pedal Tuner with True/Buffer Bypass

The NUX HD Pitch Mini Pedal Tuner is a highly precise guitar tuner featuring a full-color LED screen, ideal for placement ‘first’ in a pedal chain for accurate sound. When the tuner is activated, it functions as a precise guitar tuner. When disengaged, it serves as a signal buffer in Buffer Bypass mode, ensuring a strong, uncompromised tone.

This mini pedal tuner represents a new generation of tuning pedals, boasting ultra-fast response and unmatched tuning precision thanks to NUX’s cutting-edge technology. The two vibrant LED screens show notes, tuning status, calibration settings, and the selected bypass mode, providing a seamless interaction.

The NUX HD Pitch Mini offers two intuitive visual tuning modes. In ‘Arrow Mode’, tune until the central LED indicator is on; a left-lit LED means the pitch is flat, while a right-lit LED signifies it’s sharp. ‘Strobe Mode’ requires adjusting until the LED indicators halt; indicators moving right to left show a sharp pitch, and left to right, a flat one.

For flexibility, the HD Pitch Mini Pedal Tuner features selectable True Bypass and Buffer Bypass modes. This allows musicians to tailor the output according to their effect pedal chain requirements. To change the bypass mode, press and hold the footswitch before plugging in the power cable; the selected mode will appear on the screen.

In True Bypass mode, the pedal silences the sound. Buffer Bypass mode allows switching between silent tuning and audio-assist tuning, indicated on the tuning screen. This versatility makes the NUX HD Pitch Tuner efficient for different setups, ensuring that musicians can achieve optimal tone.

True Bypass is preferred for its simplicity, directly connecting input to output, ideal for those who prioritize tone integrity. Buffer Bypass mode, on the other hand, is designed to mitigate tone sucking issues common with multiple pedals or long cable runs by buffering it, making it perfect for complex pedalboards.

Being the first pedal, the NUX HD Pitch Tuner ensures an unaltered input signal. The Buffer Bypass option is particularly beneficial in multi-pedal configurations, converting high impedance to low impedance to counteract tone loss. By integrating a relay buffer, the tuner avoids the pitfalls of other buffer designs like FET’s even harmonic generation, providing a cleaner signal path for the rest of the pedals. This thoughtful feature makes the NUX HD Pitch a versatile addition to any pedal chain.
