Tuner
(Bypass, Mute)
For your convenience, ToneLab LE contains an
automatic chromatic tuner. The frequency of the
middle “A” reference pitch can be adjusted (cali-
brated) over a range of 438 Hz–445 Hz.
TUNING PROCEDURE
HINT: Pressing the EXIT/TUNE button while the
name display is indicating a program name will
activate the tuner.
1. Make sure that ToneLab LE is in Program
Select mode, and that the BANK UP and
DOWN switch LEDs are turned off. If the
BANK UP switch LED is lit green, ToneLab
LE is in Effect On/Off mode. In this case,
press the BANK UP switch to enter Program
Select mode.
2. Press and hold the
pedal of the cur-
rently-selected pro-
gram (the pedal LED
is lit red) for about
0.5 seconds. All
effects will be
bypassed, and the
Auto Chromatic
Tuner will operate.
If you are playing a
live performance and want to tune without
being heard by the audience, select Silent
Tuning mode as follows before you tune
your guitar.
Hold down the pedal of the currently-
selected program for about 1.5 seconds
to enter Silent Tuning mode. This mode
enables you to tune your guitar with the
output muted.
3. When you play a string on your guitar, the
nearest pitch will appear in the bank display,
and a meter will appear in the name display.
The note names are displayed as follows.
4. Watch the meter, and tune your guitar.
5. When you’re finished tuning, press any pro-
gram select switch again to return to Pro-
gram Select mode.
HINT: If you have cancelled Tuning mode by pressing
a program select switch that is different from
the one you pressed to start the tuner, the pro-
gram will be also changed.
CALIBRATING THE TUNER
When you switch ToneLab LE on, the built-in
tuner is automatically calibrated to A=440 Hz
(a.k.a. “concert pitch”). If desired, you can recali-
brate the tuner in the range of A = 438 Hz–445
Hz.
• While the tuner is active, the value display
(3.3) shows the frequency of the reference
pitch. You can use the ▲, ▼ buttons to adjust
(calibrate) this in the range of 438 Hz–445 Hz.
NOTE: If you’ve recalibrated the tuner, remember that
the setting will be automatically reset to 440
Hz the next time you turn ToneLab LE on.
