If you bypass the AX10G, your sound will be direct
(dry) without any effects (wet).

and hold them for about one second;
then release them.
When you press UP and DOWN simultaneously,
the display

mately one second will blink more rapidly. To

Tuner
You can use the AX10G’s built-in auto chromatic
tuner to tune your guitar. To activate the tuner,
simultaneously press the UP and DOWN program
select switches.
TIPS You can activate the tuner by selecting either
Bypass or Mute. If you select Mute, you will be able
to tune silently.
Tuning procedure
1. To activate the tuner, simultaneously press the
UP and DOWN program select switches to either
Bypass or Mute the AX10G. For the procedure,
refer to “Bypass and Mute” (above).
2. Pluck the string that you want to tune, and the
closest note name will appear in the display. A
decimal point “.” at the right of the note name
indicates a sharp (#).
Do not play two or more strings simultaneously
when tuning.
3. Tune the string approximately so that the correct
note name is shown in the display.
4. Fine-tune the string so that only the middle LED
of the PRE FX (TUNER) section is lit.

DOWN program select switch to return to
normal operation.
Adjusting the tuner calibration
When you turn on the power, middle A is set to a
reference frequency of 440 Hz. If desired, you can
adjust (calibrate) this reference pitch.
1. While the tuner is activated, use the VALUE
(CALIB) buttons to adjust the calibration.
The range is 438~445 Hz. When you adjust the
value, the display will show the lower two digits of
the calibration frequency (e.g., “41” for 441 Hz).
The AX10G does not remember the tuner calibra-
tion setting when powered-off.
