Descriptions
Descriptions 1 Note Indicator LEDs -These LEDs show the note being tuned. The note indicated above the LED (see point 2) is actual note being tuned. 2 Notes - This row of notes will light up when the unit is turned on. The LED under the note being tuned will light up. 3 Flat Indicator LED - this flashing LED will light if the note being played is flat. The more “flat” the note is, the faster the LED will flash. 4 In Tune LED - when the note being played is “in tune” this LED will light.
Descriptions Continued 11 On/Off Switch - This switch determines whether the pedal is “on” or “off” - When ON the blue LED will be lit. When OFF the LED will not be lit. 12 9-Volt Battery Compartment - to access pull on small tab labeled “OPEN”. Replace with a new 9-Volt battery. Always remember to unplug your guitar cords from the pedal to conserve battery life. Some battery drain may take place when unit is plugged in (even if the unit is bypassed).
LED Functions (detailed) 1 Flat Indicator LED - this flashing LED will light if the note being played is flat. The more “flat” the note is, the faster the LED will flash. Tune the string up until the LED stops flashing and the “IN TUNE” LED lights. 2 IN TUNE LED - when the note being played is “in tune” this LED will light. 3 Sharp Indicator LED - this flashing LED will light if the note being played is sharp. The more “sharp” the note is, the faster the LED will flash.
Tuning Instuctions Step 1 - plug the guitar/bass into the tuner - see “connections” section. Step 2 - play a note on your guitar. In the example on the following page we are tuning the low E string on a guitar or bass. Pluck your E string, and if needed, adjust your tuning machine on your instrument until the LED under note “E” is lit (indicated as 1 in the preceding diagram). Step 3 - if your note is flat - the “FLAT” LED will light and flash.

Additionally, if you are in a loud environment try using harmonics to tune your instrument. Lightly touch the string over the 12th fret of your instrument and pick the string with normal pick attack.
