Using the Tuner Function

CUBE-20XL is equipped with a tuner function. In addition to manual

tuning, you can also use it as a chromatic tuner.

When tuning manually, the sound of the guitar will be output from

the speaker and from the RECORDING OUT/PHONES jack. In chromatic

tuner mode, sound will not be output from the speaker nor from the

RECORDING OUT/PHONES jack.

When tuning manually, you can press the [SELECT] switch to activate a

tuning reference tone.

Manual Tuning

Use manual tuning when the strings are substantially out of tune (such

as after changing strings).
In manual tuning mode, you can tune while listening to the sound of

your guitar through the speakers or headphones.
The volume can be adjusted with the JC CLEAN’s [VOLUME] knob.

If you don’t want the sound of your guitar to be output from the

speakers or headphones, set the JC CLEAN’s [VOLUME] knob to 0.

1. Press the [TUNER] switch.

CUBE-20XL enters the Tuner mode and the [TUNER] switch lights up.

2. Use the Type switch to select the string that you want to

tune.

the one played.
