Selecting Tunings

The “Tuning” control lets you choose among several different tunings and

12-string sounds, all at the turn of a rotary selector control. It’s great to know

you’ll no longer be needing multiple guitars laying around in different tunings

at the gig or in the studio.

Tuning

Explanation

Normal (N)

In this mode, your guitar plays in standard tuning (E A D G B E).

Drop D (D)

In this mode, your guitar plays with the lowest string tuned to D

(D A D G B E).

Open G (G)

In this mode, your guitar plays in open G tuning (D G D G B D).

D Modal (d)

In this mode, your guitar plays in D modal tuning (D A D G A D).

Baritone (B)

In this mode, your guitar plays as a baritone guitar (B E A D F# B).

12 String (12)

In this mode, your guitar is beautifully modeled as a 12 string, acoustic or

electric guitar.

* To achieve the alternate tunings as described on the tuning control, tune your guitar to

correct standard tuning (E A D G B E). If you tune the guitar up or down (E flat, for example),

the modeled tunings will transpose relative to the actual tuning of your guitar.
