tunings (p. 8).
Telecaster (T)
In this modeling mode, the guitar plays with the
sound of a Telecaster® guitar.

Pickups (H)
In this modeling mode, your guitar plays with the
sound of two high output humbucking pickups;
one in the neck position and one in the bridge
position.

In this modeling mode, your guitar plays with the
warm, full sound of an acoustic guitar.
You can use the 5-way switch to switch between
variations including steel-string or nylon-string
acoustic guitar, and sitar.

While in each mode, simply use the blade 5-way selector switch to switch
pickups as if you are playing the guitar type that you’ve selected.
TIPS Wide Range
This produces the fat sound typical of a larger number of coil windings than on
a conventional single-coil pickup.
Bright Humbucker
A conventional humbucking pickup places two coils side by side, causing
the high frequencies to be cancelled; however, this model produces a tone
that preserves these high frequencies while retaining the characteristics of a
humbucking pickup.
Jazz
This is a sweet sound that is ideal for playing jazz.
