respectively set to minimum/maximum, or if the effect or volume does

Tuner

The AX5B has a built-in Auto Chromatic Tuner.
You can calibrate the reference pitch (the note “A”) of the tuner in a
range of A438 Hz–A445 Hz.

Tuning procedure

1. The Auto Chromatic Tuner will be activated when the AX5B is by-
passed or muted.
If you want to tune silently, such as during a liv e perf ormance, simply
mute the AX5B.
2. Play a note on y our bass and the prog ram/v alue displa y will indicate
the name of the closest note.
Note names are indicated as follows.
CC#DD#EFF#GG# AA#B

3. If your bass is sharp (pitch too high), the Program Up s witch LED will
blink. If your bass is flat (pitch too low), the Program Down switch
LED will blink. In either case, more rapid blinking indicates that your
bass is farther from the correct pitch.
When in tune, both the Program Up and Program Down LEDs will
light.

Adjusting the tuner calibration

When you turn on the power, the built-in tuner is set to a reference pitch
of A 440 Hz (concert pitch). You can use the [▲]/[▼] buttons to calibr ate
this in the range of 438 Hz–445 Hz. When doing so, the program/value
display will indicate a value of 38–45.
When you turn off the power, the calibr ation adjustment you made will
be discarded and the AX5B will automatically be set to 440 Hz.
