The PT40 is a rather unique tuner in that it doesn't use a conventional battery. Excellent mobility for screen positioning.No battery, recharges from USB power source (via included cable or third-party charger).The COM-80 is a great tuner, but it could use a little more flexibility on the mounting of the LCD display. Because I had the tuner clipped on the tip of the Tele's headstock-so it wouldn't touch the tuning pegs-I could only read the LCD display sideways. I was able to twist it around freely on its little plastic tree, but could only tilt it up or down from there.
The only major drawback I experienced with this tuner was the inability to rotate the screen from side to side. The tuning was even more precise on the Martin, which was likely due to the acoustic resonance of the guitar. Thankfully, the COM-80 didn't exhibit any sort of pitch "warble," which is a common problem with tuners of the clip-on variety. If the pitch fell flat or rose sharp, the screen quickly changed its color from green (in tune) to orange. The accuracy of the COM-80 against the PolyTune was quite impressive when I corrected the purposefully-out-of-whack tuning of the Telecaster, with a bright and easy to read display to boot. It also has an adjustable pitch mode that gave me the option of moving the range between 410 Hz and 450 Hz. The device came equipped with calibrated chromatic tuning modes for guitar, bass, violin, and ukulele. The clip leading up to its large, Tamagotchi-style LCD screen had a strong and tight bond against both headstocks, aided by the clip's silica gel padding. Structurally, the COM-80 was a solid little tuner.

Calibrated tuning modes for guitar, bass, ukulele, and violin, plus a chromatic tuning mode.However, the accuracy was much improved with the Martin, with only slight shaking on the low E string.
Placing the tuner on the meatier middle part of the headstock helped stabilize the readings a bit, but not completely. Starting out of tune, I was easily able to pull the notes into an accurate tuning, but it was more difficult to get a perfectly precise read, each string readout wavered between in tune, slightly sharp, and slightly flat. This allowed me to place the tuner pretty much anywhere I wanted and still be able to read the screen.Ĭompared to the PolyTune, the tuning accuracy with the Pitchclip on the Tele was decent. Though the display only tilts up or down, Korg built in the fantastic feature of reversing the display meter on the LED by holding the power button for more than one second. My first impression was that the Pitchclip's clip felt loose in my fingers, but I was pleasantly surprised when I clipped it to the Tele's headstock and gave the neck a good shake-the Pitchclip didn't budge. There are no extra bells and whistles programmed into the Pitchclip, only a single chromatic tuning mode that covers the tuning ranges for guitar and bass. It's one of the smallest tuners of the bunch, with a vivid LED display that pops up at a maximum angle of 120 degrees from its clip. The Pitchclip is a distant cousin of the company's extremely popular Pitchblack pedal tuner. Their highly accurate rackmount tuners and compact tuners are popular among seasoned pros and everyday musicians alike-in fact, many players' first tuners bore Korg name on their plastic housings.
