Flatsons Guitar Tuner Pedal — Chromatic Tuner with True Bypass
Product description
Bright color LCD for fast readings
A high‑contrast color LCD shows tuning status at a glance so you can tune quickly in dim venues, bright daylight or cluttered pedal layouts. The display alters color as you get closer to pitch, giving immediate visual confirmation without relying on tiny LEDs.
All‑analog signal path with true bypass
The unit uses an analog circuit and true bypass switching to keep your tone uncolored when the tuner is disengaged. When bypassed the signal is routed cleanly with no audible hum or popping, preserving transparency in chained effects.
Wide chromatic range and flat tuning support
Detection spans A0 (27.5 Hz) up to C8 (4186 Hz), covering standard 6/7‑string guitars, baritones and basses. A4 calibration is adjustable between 435 Hz and 445 Hz. The tuner handles multiple semitone drops directly, so common alternate and drop tunings are supported without extra math.
Rugged metal chassis and compact footprint
Housed in a stamped metal enclosure designed for live use, the pedal measures 94×51×53 mm and weighs 175.5 g, making it easy to place on tight pedalboards while resisting the knocks of transport and stage feet.
Instant chromatic detection and simple operation
Plug an instrument into the input and the pedal immediately reads pitch from the audio signal. Real‑time feedback on the color display helps you tune fast and precisely. Operation is straightforward: engage the footswitch to activate the tuner and disengage to return to true bypass.
Power and what’s included
The package contains the tuner pedal and a basic user guide; a 9V DC adapter is required for operation but not provided. There is no internal battery compartment, so run it from your pedalboard’s power supply or a separate 9V adapter.

Good overall, needs its own power
Solid performance and accurate tuning. Note it uses a separate 9V adapter with no battery option. The LEDs can jump a little before stabilizing, but it locks in faster than some budget rivals.

Neat and compact tuner
Small unit that tucks neatly on my board. Easy to wire in, silent in bypass, and the vivid screen gives a clear readout.

Handy addition to my rig
Very user-friendly and quick to grab pitch. The bright display reads well under different lighting and the true bypass keeps my tone intact. Feels solid and well constructed.

Surprisingly capable backup tuner
Picked this up as a spare for a second board. It locks notes quickly, the screen is readable on stage, and the metal housing seems durable—good reliable tuner without fuss.

Tiny, travel-friendly and effective
Extremely portable and performs consistently. Works great clipped into my board and mutes cleanly when engaged. Remember to supply your own power source.

Sturdy pedalboard tuner with mute
Built for boards — metal case and a satisfying footswitch. Engaging the tuner mutes the output so tuning doesn’t carry to the audience, and the input is responsive and reliable.
