Korg releases Pokémon limited edition metronomes and clip-on tuners
Let Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle and Pikachu keep you in tune
Korg have partnered with the Pokémon franchise to brighten up the all-too-serious business of staying in tune and staying in time.
For a limited time, you can now get yourself Korg's Pitchclip 2 tuner in a choice of four Pokémon character finishes: Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle or Pikachu.
These Pokémon Pitchclip 2 clip-on tuners are just the thing for guitarists of all ages. The bright LED display is easy-to-read, and with this special edition, if you are out of tune a Pokéball appears, which will then light up with a beep when you have arrived at pitch.
And Korg are also offering the MA-2 metronome in Pikachu or Eevee finishes – and, surely, there is nothing quite like being counted in by Pikachu.
If we are being honest, this was one tie-in that we didn't see coming. But given that Pikachu stores electricity in its cheeks, might we see the Korg KA-350 power supply in canary yellow sometime soon?
Over to you, Korg!
The Korg Pokémon tie-ins retail for $25.99 (£22, €24 approx). See Korg for more details.

“Maybe I’m writing a song and it doesn’t follow the exact rules of songwriting. Or maybe this word doesn’t make sense next to this one, but that’s how I speak”: Beabadoobee says that “missteps” are more important than perfection in songwriting
“It’s been road-tested, dropped on its head, kicked around, x-rayed, strummed, chicken-picked, and arpeggio swept!” Fender and Chris Shiflett team up for signature Cleaver Telecaster Deluxe
