3 - Controlling AmpliTube™ LE

We suggest leaving the Gate OFF (fully counterclockwise) unless you noti-

ce high background noise from the guitar signal. In that case try to slightly

increase the gate knob up to a point where the LED lights and the Gate cuts

the input.

Tuner

AmpliTube™ LE sports a high precision automatic tuner that makes really

easy to tune your guitar perfectly.

Being a chromatic auto tuner it will be able to detect any note you may play

on your instrument, there’s no need to select the note on the tuner before

playing it.

The tuner mode switch (fig 11) determines the way the tuner works:

Off: In this mode the tuner is turned off and the guitar signal is routed

directly to the amplifier. Nothing is displayed on the tuner indicators.

On: In this mode the tuner is turned on, and the signal is passed to both

the tuner and the amplifier. The note display (fig 12) indicates

which note the tuner has detected and the deviation LEDs (fig 13)

indicate the tuning accuracy. When the correct tuning is reached

the “OK” LED lights up (fig 14). The “OK” LED will light when the

note is within a range of +/- 2 cents from the correct pitch. You can

use this mode when you need to be able to check your tuning while

you’re playing.

Mute: In this mode the tuner turns on and the guitar signal is muted. The

amplifier won’t receive any signal from the guitar.

Wah-Wah

AmpliTube™ LE Wah (fig. 15) carefully recreates that typical mid-rangey

funky sweep of the best vintage units. Click on the “Wah-Wah” switch but-

ton to engage the effect, putting it in the AUTO position. The red led shows

that the unit is active.

The Wah knob sets the wah center frequency.

When the switch is in AUTO mode, this is the base frequency that will be

modulated by the input signal envelope. When the switch is set to MANUAL

this is the static center freq which can be changed with the Wah knob.
