when the unit is in edit mode (g p. 14).
Switch to bypass or mute 1
To use the tuner function of the G1u, the built-in effects must be bypassed (temporarily turned off)
or muted (original sound and effect sound turned off).
Play the open string to tune, and adjust the pitch.
To fine-adjust the reference pitch of the G1u tuner,
turn the [VALUE] knob in the bypass/mute
condition.
When you turn the knob, the current reference pitch
is shown for a time on the display. The default setting
is 40 (center A = 440 Hz).
While the reference pitch is shown, turn the
[VALUE] knob to adjust the value in the range from
35 – 45 (center A = 435 to 445 Hz).
When power is turned off and on again, the reference
pitch setting will be reset to 40 (center A = 440 Hz).
Press one of the [W]/[Q] foot switches.

Patch change at bypass/mute
When you press both [W]/[Q] foot switches
together while playing your instrument, the
sound may change momentarily just before
the bypass/mute condition is activated.
This is because the G1u switches to the
next higher or lower patch when one of the
foot switches is pressed slightly earlier.
( W h e n y o u c a n c e l t h e b y p a s s / m u t e
condition, the original patch number will be active again.)
This behavior is not a defect. It is due to the
very high speed at which the G1u responds
to patch switching. To prevent the sound
change caused by the above condition, do
not produce sound with your instrument
until the bypass/mute condition is fully
established.
