Tuner (Bypass, Mute)
For your convenience, the AX3000B contains an Automatic Chromatic Tuner. The
frequency of the middle “A” reference pitch can be adjusted (calibrated) over a
range of 438 Hz–445 Hz.
The Bypass (all effects turned off, including noise reduction) and Mute functions
are useful when you need to make settings on your bass amp, tune your instru-
ment, or swap bass during a live performance. To activate Bypass or Mute, make
sure you’re in Program Select mode and proceed as follows.
To activate Bypass
Press and hold down the program select switch of the currently selected program
for about 0.5 seconds; all effects will be bypassed. The program LED will blink,
and the name display will show “BYPASS” for one second.
To activate Mute
Press and hold down the program select switch of the currently selected program
for about 1.5 seconds; the output will be muted. The program LED will blink rapidly,
and the name display will show “MUTE” for one second.
In either case, the Auto Chromatic Tuner will be activated. To defeat Bypass or
Mute, press any desired program select switch and you will return to Program
mode.
TUNING PROCEDURE
1. To activate the Auto Chromatic Tuner, you can either activate Bypass or Mute,
or press the EXIT/TUNE button while the display shows the program name. If
the display does not show the program name, press the EXIT/TUNE button to
make the program name appear, and then press the EXIT/TUNE button once
again.
HINT: If you want to tune during a live performance, it’s a good idea to tune while
Muted.
2. Play a string on your connected bass, and the closest note name will appear in
the bank display. Note names are shown as follows.
