User manual PEAVEY BASIC 60

[. . . ] Though instrument amplifier emulation has been occurring for some time now, none have accomplished what Peavey has in the Transformer. Within a small, light weight combo package, Peavey has managed to emulate both the voicing and dampening characteristics of some of the world's most popular amplifiers using TransTube® Technology. This guide covers both the Transformer 112 and the Transformer 212. The difference in the two models are noted where applicable. [. . . ] This section provides short tutorials demonstrating various features and operation scenarios. Since tuning is generally done before playing, let's learn how to use the built-in strobe-style tuner. You should complete steps 1 - 6 of the Quick Start section on page 3 before beginning this tutorial. Your Transformer features a dual-mode tuner which can be viewed from both the front panel of the unit and/or the footswitch. the two tuner modes include guitar and chromatic. Let's first take a look at how the front panel and footswitch "transform" to display the tuner functions. Front Panel You may access the tuner function from any mode while the amp is on by pressing both the STORE and USER buttons simultaneously. The diagram below depicts the functional transformation that occurs to the front panel LEDs when the tuner is activated. In the diagram, the letters listed above the LED rings correspond to the six strings of a six-string guitar tuned to a standard tuning. The faster the rotation the more out of tune. NOTE: The same front panel features/functions are used for both the guitar and chromatic modes. In the Chromatic mode, the tuner tracks all notes whether they are standard tuning or not. If you were to play an F# on the low E string, the tuner would track that F# even though it is not a standard open string tuning for a guitar. This is a handy feature which makes the built-in tuner functional for open tunings as well as tuning a variety of other instruments. the display indicates sharp and flat notes the same as it does in the Guitar mode. The main visual difference in the display occurs when you hit a note such as the F#. the display only has provisions to indicate E , A , D , G , B and E. Therefore, the tuner will light up both the E and A positions in order to indicate that the note is somewhere between an E note and an A note. The Guitar mode cannot do this since it tracks the F# note as a G note that is flat. the Chromatic tuning mode is octave sensitive. Using the F# scenario from above, this becomes easy to explain. If an F# is played on the D string (instead of the low E), the D and G positions illuminate to indicate that the note is sharp for the D string. [. . . ] When the provided plug does not fit into your inlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Write for our free booklet "Shock Hazard and Grounding". Connect only to a power supply of the type marked on the unit adjacent to the power supply cord. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point they exit from the apparatus. [. . . ]
