Accessing the Tuner

The Bass30 includes a chromatic Tuner to quickly get your instrument in tune. To access the Tuner, press and hold the currently active Preset’s Footswitch (the footswitch with a lit LED above it) until the letters tn appear in the display (abbreviation for tuner). You can then play any string on your bass. The display will show the note played, and the Parameter LEDs will light to let you know whether you are sharp or flat. Your note is in tune when the In Tune LED is lit. The LEDs above the In Tune LED indicate that you are sharp and need to tune down. The LEDs below the In Tune LED indicate that you are flat and need to tune up.

The tuning reference on the Bass30 has been set to A=440 (concert pitch) from the factory. You may change the tuning reference for drop tunings by rotating the Data Wheel at any time while in the tuner mode. Your tuning choices are A (standard tuning), Ab (1/2 step flat), G (whole step flat), and gb (one and 1/2 steps flat). Pressing any Preset footswitch will exit the tuner mode and return you to the performance mode.
