What is the Reference control in the Tuner?
This control is available within the Tuner interface. It tells the Tuner what to tune to. 440Hz is the standard reference value for A, and is generally used for tuning reference. All the Tracks available from GuitarPort Online use the standard 440Hz reference. So, unless you have a particular need to adjust the Tuner’s reference (and tune your guitar to match something other than GuitarPort Tracks), you probably want to stick with the standard 440Hz setting for this control.

What is a Rotary Drum + Horn?
A Rotary Drum + Horn (or rotary speaker) is one of those things that makes you go, “Gee whiz!” when you first hear about it: a speaker is mounted on a rotating motor, and spun around as sound plays through it. A switch allows you to select slow or fast speed for the rotation, and one cool thing about a rotary is the gradual change in sound that you hear as the speaker speeds up or slows down to the new speed. The rotary drum + horn speaker enclosure was originally developed for organ players, but guitar players soon put it to use as well. Effects manufacturers also quickly started making foot pedals that emulated this effect too (check out the GearBox
Many of the effects are modeled after classic gear described in the Model Gallery.
