7Using the Tuner
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.
