To activate the tuner, press the BYPASS/MUTE pad [13] to LEVEL 3.
•
The MUTE/TUNER yellow LED [2] on the left side of the Pedalino will now light
up.
On the PedalPro, you will see that the yellow MUTE LED has lit up. In this con-
figuration, the tuner is now activated and the PedalPro is soft-muted (>35 dB
attenuation) to allow you to quietly tune your guitar, without sending almost
any sound to the amplifier*.
The tuner screen of your Pedalino contains the following items:
ÒÒÒÓ ÔÕÒÒ
A=440 – This indicates the reference note used for the tuning, A = 440 Hz.
Tuning Bar & String Indicator – The tuning bar shows graphically the tuning sta-
tus of your string. It is composed of a central line (
bar (
ÒÒÒÓ ÕÒÒÒ ) on either side the central line. As you start tuning, the
tuner recognises the string being tuned, as long as the string is approximately
within ±50 cents of its reference pitch. The string indicator will appear on the
screen, replacing the central line and showing the string being tuned (see
next section 'How to Tune a String'). If the string is outside the ±50 cent range,
the string indicator may show the nearest note to the current pitch value of
the string. The longer the variable-length bar, the more out of tune the string.
With the help of the tuning bar, you can achieve the regular level of tuning
accuracy, i.e., within ±3.2 cents from the reference tuning.
Pitch Indicator – The pitch indicator shows the deviation in cents (
string's reference pitch. The pitch indicator appears only once the string has
been tuned within the regular precision level and it is used to achieve the
fine tuning level, i.e., within ±0.4 cent of the string's reference pitch.
How to tune a string
• Start tuning any string of your guitar. The tuner will automatically detect
the string . In this case, the G string has been detected:

The string indicator ( ) has replaced the central line and shows the de-
G
tected string. The blinking triangle (
the signal received by the tuner is strong enough to detect the tuning status
of your instrument. If the triangle disappears, hit the string of your instrument
once again. The tuning bar appearing to the right-hand side of the central
line shows that the string is pitched too high (i.e., above its reference pitch).
As the string is still outside the fine tuning range, the pitch indicator does not
appear.

If the moving tuning bar appears to the left-hand-side of the central line, the
string is pitched too low, and still outside the fine tuning range.

When you see only the string indicator and the pitch indicator appears, you
are within ±3.2 cents of the string's reference pitch (in the example above,
0.7 cents below the perfect pitch). You can now use the pitch indicator to
refine the tuning of the string to within ±0.4 cent of its reference pitch.
