[. . . ] Any program changes you have made will be lost, so you might want to copy the program to another location first. Just turn the EFFECT knob to exit the RESTORE FACTORY PRESETS mode, or turn the unit off and then on again. 19 7 Using the Tuner To Tune Your Guitar 1. In PLAY mode, enter BYPASS or MUTE mode by pressing both foot pedals at the same time once (for BYPASS) or by holding them both down for more than half a second (for MUTE). The display will now show tuning information. Make sure your guitar is connected to the GuitarFX, and play the open string you wish to tune. The left digit of the display indicates the pitch nearest that of the open string. If the # decimal point is lit, the note is a sharp. If it is not lit, the note is a natural. Look at the right digit of the display to determine if the pitch is correct. If the top four segments of the digit are rotating clockwise, then the pitch is higher than the pitch shown in the first digit. If the bottom four segments are rotating counterclockwise, the pitch is low. The more the pitch is off, the faster the rotation. If no pitch is detected, you'll see a dash in the left digit. Tune the string until an 8 appears in the second digit, indicating that the string is in tune with the pitch displayed in the left digit. The visual guide on the next page shows you what you'll see on the display while tuning your guitar. 2 3 1 3. 4. 20 Using the Tuner 7 Changing Pitch Reference If you turn the VALUE knob while using the tuner, the display shows you the setting for the GuitarFX's pitch ) for the A reference, which is set to 440Hz (shown as note above middle C. The possible range of values for this setting is 35 to 45, which represents 435Hz to 445Hz. When you turn the GuitarFX on and off again, the reference pitch is reset to 40. While you are viewing or editing the pitch reference, the display will return to pitch indication if you do not rotate the encoder for more than two seconds. 21 8 Storing & Copying Programs To Store a Program 1. In PLAY or EDIT mode, press the VALUE knob. The display will flash the current program number. 2. Use the VALUE knob or the foot pedals to select the program number where the current program will be stored. If you want to save it in the same program number, you can skip this step. Press the VALUE knob again to store the program in the selected place. The GuitarFX then returns to the mode it was in before you began the store operation, and the destination program becomes the current program. 1 3 3. 2 To Copy a Program A copy is just a store of a program that hasn't been modified, so just follow the same steps as you would to store a program. The store operation times out if you do nothing for more than five seconds. You also can abort the operation by turning the EFFECT knob to a different position. 22 9 Deferred Program Change When you switch programs, the GuitarFX normally changes immediately to the program shown on the display.
