Since a shuttle switch is provided on both sides, you can easily operate the tuner with one hand while playing a string with the other, just like you would when turning a tuning peg.

Ultra-high tuning accuracy of ±0.1 cents
Designed with the professional user in mind, Korg’s Sledgehammer Pro offers extremely accurate tuning with a detection range of ±0.1 cents, a level of precision that is uncommon of clip-on tuners. With the Sledgehammer Pro, players of all styles can now enjoy the same ultra-high precision offered in Korg’s flagship tuner, the Pitchblack Pro.
3D visual meter provides revolutionary visibility
The Sledgehammer Pro’s unique 3D visual meter display, originally developed for the Pitchblack Pro, provides unparalleled brightness making it easier to take advantage of the Sledgehammer Pro’s precise tuning.
Three meter display modes
Three types of display modes are offered: Regular, Strobe, and Half Strobe. Each mode can be easily selected according to the user’s preference. Strobe and Half Strobe mode reflect the extreme precision of the Sledgehammer Pro, making it more convenient to tune accurately.
A clip mechanism that provides strong holding power as well as flexibility
The clip is designed to make the connection with your instrument as efficient as possible, ensuring a firm grasp. The Sledgehammer Pro firmly adheres to a variety of guitar and bass headstocks. Even if you move around actively while performing, there's no danger that vibration or weight will cause the tuner to shift.
The double mechanism of a movable arm and ball joint simultaneously provide both durability and a free range of angle settings. Players have the flexibility to position the tuner wherever they need, and the confidence that it will stay in that position.
Calibration, auto power-off, and memory backup functions
A variety of functions are available to support your various tuning endeavors: the calibration function allows for a variety of concert tunings, the auto power-off function saves the battery if you forget to turn the unit off, and the memory backup function preserves your settings, even when the power is off.
