Single String Up Mode (Position = A, Id = Up Arrow); Tuning Strings Up Step-By-Step; Robo-Tuner Test (Position = G, Id = D) - Gibson Firebird X Owner's Manual

Single String Up Mode (Position = A, ID = Up Arrow)

This mode is useful when replacing all strings after using the All Strings Down function, or
replacing a broken string.

Tuning Strings Up Step-by-Step

1. Enter the Red Bank, then rotate the Gear Shift knob to the A position.
2. Push down on the Digital Varitone knob; the outer string LEDs will shine red and the
arrow will be green.
3. Rotate the Gear Shift knob to the string position corresponding to the first string you
want to tune up. The string LED will shine blue.
4. Pluck the selected string. If Firebird X does not respond, that means the string tension is
too low to read its pitch.
Note: If a string is very loose, it may short out to a different string, or a different Robo-
Tuner. The Gear Shift knob will advise you of this condition by showing the string LED in
white. Tune the string up manually until it no longer shorts out, then proceed as
described.
5. Push down on the Digital Varitone knob, and the string will start to wind.
6. Pluck the string again. If Firebird X does not respond, push down on the Digital Varitone
knob again to increase string tension.
7. Repeat step 6 again if necessary.
8. Once the string tension is sufficient for Firebird X to read the pitch, upon being plucked
it will start tuning the string to standard tuning. When it's close to standard tuning, the
associated string LED will shine blue. Caution! Do not press down on the Digital Varitone
knob without first plucking the string to see if Firebird X can read its pitch. Otherwise,
the string could snap from over-tightening.
9. Repeat steps 3-8 for any other strings you want to tune, until all strings are
approximately in tune.
10. To finalize the tuning process, move the silver tog-pot to the tuning function. Choose
one of the stored tunings (e.g., rotate the Gear Shift knob fully counter-clockwise to select
Standard tuning by) and tune Firebird X by plucking its strings sequentially as described on
page 12.
