To Tune Your Bass

1.In PLAY mode, enter BYPASS

	mode	by pressing both foot
	pedals at the same time once, or			2	3
	enter MUTE mode		by
	holding them both down for
	more than half a second. The
	display will now show tuning
	information.
2.	Make sure your bass is
	connected to the BassFX, and
	play the open string you wish to
	tune. The left digit of the
	display indicates the pitch
	nearest that of the open string.
	If the # decimal point is lit, the
	note is a sharp. If it is not lit,				1
	the note is a natural.
3.	Look at the right digit of the
	display to determine if the pitch is correct.

If the top four segments of the digit are rotating clockwise, then your guitar’s pitch is higher than the pitch shown in the first digit. If the bottom four segments are rotating counterclockwise, the pitch is low. The more the pitch is off, the faster the rotation. If no pitch is detected, you’ll see a dash in the left digit.

4.Tune the string until an 8 appears in the second digit, indicating that the string is in tune with the pitch displayed in the left digit.

The visual guide on the next page shows you what you’ll see on the display while tuning your bass.
