Anyone else have this problem? When using the on board tuner vs my Korg tuner the Fender is quite a bit sharper than the Korg. I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if there was a way to calibrate the tuner.

What kind of Korg tuner is it? Can it be calibrated or adjusted? I'd suspect something amiss with the korg before I blame the Mustang, as the Mustangs are set and forget at the factory. Have a look at this thread...

The tuner on the Mustang amp is calibrated, ie "set", at the factory and there is no function to adjust it. So "forget" about making any adjustments to it.

So if there is something wrong with the built in tuner, you probably have grounds to get a new amp, assuming its still under warranty. But I would double check your Korg tuner because it seems more likely that something got knocked out of whack on it rather than the amp.

If when you tune to the amp, you are in tune with any track you play along with, then the tuner is ok. Tune to the korg, if you are out when playing a track, you have your answer. My money is on the amp being right.
