A digital auto tuner is built into the A4 Guitar.
1. Bypass • Tune switch
If this switch is pressed, the Bypass LED lights and all effects
are turned off.
At the same time, the tuner is turned on.
If the switch is held for approximately one second after reaching
the Bypass condition, the Mute function is activated, and silent
tuning is possible.
2. Standard Pitch and Calibration
For tuning with other musical instruments, "middle A" or "A440"
(A=440Hz} has traditionally been used as the standard pitch. It
is known that this standard pitch has varied slightly frorn time to
time and country to country. With this tuner, you can set the
standard pitch for the A4 Guitar in the 438-445Hz range.
Calibration refers to the setting of the standard pitch.
Calibration is performed by using the Calibration utility in Edit
mode.
