Critic Reviews

Korg Sledgehammer Pro review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Korg Sledgehammer Pro stands out as a top-tier clip-on tuner, praised for its exceptional accuracy and speed. With a lightweight design and an easy-to-read display, it surpasses many competitors. The Pro's display rivals the precision of a Peterson Virtual Strobe, making it ideal for both casual and professional use. However, the price is a bit steep compared to other options, and the regular Sledgehammer model offers slightly less accuracy. Overall, the Pro impresses with its performance, but budget-conscious buyers might hesitate.

The best I've found yet

It's fast and accurate, but I cant but help and think there could be better. It's just a LITTLE squirrely.
