the performer’s taste and particular application) settings.

*Do not turn off the power while making the settings. This may
corrupt the settings already stored in the VGA-3. Always be
sure to exit from SYSTEM Setup mode before turning off the
power.

once more.
* There is no prescribed sequence for the SYSTEM Setup

The Type of Settings

TUNER PITCH Setting

This changes the internal tuner’s reference pitch. It can be
convenient to change this setting when you want to tune
your guitar to another instrument whose tuning cannot be
changed easily (for example, an acoustic piano).
“Reference pitch” refers to the frequency of the A4 note—
middle A on a piano—of the instruments serving as the
reference pitch for tuning.
1. Rotate [AMP TYPE] to select
“ACOUSTIC” (TUNER PITCH).
2. Press a MEMORY button [1] –[5] , [6] –[10] , or
[MANUAL] to select the reference pitch.

TUNER LEVEL Setting

This adjusts the volume output by the VGA-3’s speaker
when the internal tuner is used.
*A special tuner tone is selected automatically when the
internal tuner is in use.
1. Rotate [AMP TYPE] to select
“JC CLEAN” (TUNER LEVEL).
2. Press a MEMORY button [1]–[10] to set the level.
