Using The Tuner
The built-in tuner allows you to effortlessly 
tune your guitar and offers 4 different tuning 
references as shown in the table to the 
right. In most cases you will use the standard 
tuning reference, which is A440 (A=440Hz). 
This is the default tuning reference setting in 
the Element/Element XP.

The tuner can be accessed from either Play 
Mode or Edit Mode. As a note is played, the 
LED display will show the note. The most 
center effect LED (green) will light when 
the note is in tune. If an effect LED to the 
left of the green LED is lit, the note is flat, 
so you must tune the string up. If an LED to 
the right of the green LED is lit, the note is 
sharp, so you must tune the string down.
