Pedal Type: Chromatic Pedal Tuner
Controls: Engage Footswitch (No external knobs, switches, or menu parameters)
Bypass Layout: Relay-Based, True Bypass Switching
Power Requirements: 9VDC Negative Center Only (Do Not Exceed)
Current Draw: 100 mA
Dimensions: 4.5” × 2.5” × 2.0” (114.3 mm x 63.5 mm x 50.8 mm)
The Pigtronix 2NR is engineered as a dedicated utility tool focused entirely on accurate pitch acquisition without complex secondary features. Operating strictly at the standard concert pitch reference of A4 = 440 Hz, this pedal eliminates alternate tracking modes or complex menu trees that can cause accidental adjustments during a live performance. The internal architecture houses high-speed pitch tracking software designed to register fundamental frequencies from both electric guitars and low-frequency bass instruments instantly, locking onto the input signal across a comprehensive detection range spanning from B0 to B7.
The physical user interface is dominated by a large, high-visibility LED screen configured to deliver immediate visual feedback under restrictive stage lighting conditions. When the footswitch is depressed, the circuit engages an internal mute function that completely cuts the instrument's output signal, letting you tune silently between songs. The colorful graphic matrix guides the musician toward the center pitch target using sharp increments, illuminating a definitive green center wedge the exact millisecond the string reaches perfect tension, making fast tuning adjustments effortless.
Positioning the 2NR at the absolute front of your signal chain ensures the pitch tracking software receives an uncolored, direct high-impedance instrument signal. With an input impedance of 100k ohms, the pedal smoothly accepts passive or active pickups without degrading your native frequency layout. When the tuner is disengaged, the mechanical relay-based true bypass circuitry takes over, allowing 100 percent of your core tone to pass through to your overdrive and modulation blocks without introducing high-end roll-off or impedance loading.
Beyond standard utility tuning, the 2NR serves a critical secondary role as an instant system kill-switch on your pedalboard. Placing the unit immediately following an aggressive high-gain fuzz circuit or noisy vintage compression block allows you to stomp the footswitch to completely silence the signal line during extended rests or venue set breaks. The heavy-duty aluminum chassis stands up to high-impact foot strikes, functioning as a reliable physical mute tool that protects front-of-house mixing consoles from unexpected pickup squeal or cable termination noise.
TO AVOID SHORT CIRCUIT, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR MALFUNCTION: DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THIS DEVICE FOR REPAIR. DO NOT PLACE IN HIGH TEMPERATURE OR HUMID SPACES, SUCH AS NEAR AN ELECTRIC HEATER, IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, IN A BATHROOM, OR ON A WET FLOOR. DO NOT OPERATE WITH WET HANDS. RUNS EXCLUSIVELY ON 9VDC NEGATIVE CENTER POWER VIA A 2.1MM BARREL PLUG. DO NOT EXCEED 9VDC OPERATION AS DOING SO WILL VOID THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY AND RISK DAMAGE TO THE INTERNAL DISPLAY NETWORKS.
