How to use the Tuner
When running POD Farm in Standalone operation, click the Tuner View button at the top left of
POD Farm to load the Tuner. The Tuner accepts input from anything plugged into the Instrument jack
on your Line 6 device.
The Tuner (POD Farm Standalone Operation only)
Pluck an open single string on your guitar (or bass), and the display will show you the note that string
is currently tuned to. The large meter in the tuner shows you whether the string is sharp or flat relative
to that note. When the indicator is anywhere on the left side of the meter, your string is flat and needs
to be tuned up. When the indicator is anywhere on the right side of the meter, your string is sharp and
needs to be tuned down. The Mute/Bypass switch lets you choose to Mute your guitar, or to hear it
while tuning (with amp/cab/effect processing bypassed).
The Tuner’s Reference control tells the Tuner what to tune to. 440Hz is the standard reference value
for A and is generally used for for most modern, western music. Unless you have a particular need
to adjust the Tuner’s reference, you probably want to stick with the standard 440Hz setting for this
control.
The standard tuning for guitar is, from the largest string to the smallest, E-A-D-G-B-E. POD Farm’s
Tuner is “chromatic” - meaning it can tune to any note in the chromatic 12 tone scale - so you are
not limited to using it for standard guitar tuning. Use the tuner to try some different tunings as well.
For instance, “Drop-D” tuning is accomplished by tuning the biggest string down to D instead of E.
The table below provides a number of alternate tunings for you to try. Tunings are listed on the left.
Columns labeled String 6 (the fattest string) to String 1 (the thinnest string) tell you the pitch to tune
to for each string:
