and the Auto Chromatic Tuner will now be activated. Use either the LCD display or expression pedal led’s to tune
your guitar.
2. When you’ve finished tuning, press the flashing PROGRAM SELECT switch to return to Program mode. (Note;
pressing another PROGRAM SELECT switch will select a different program and return you to Program Mode.)
To activate Mute and tune silently:
1. Press and hold down the currently selected PROGRAM SELECT switch (1, 2, 3, or 4) for about 1.5 seconds; the
output will be muted. The program LED will blink rapidly and the name display will show “MUTE” for one second. The
Auto Chromatic Tuner will now be activated; use either the LCD display or expression pedal led’s to tune your guitar.
2. When you’ve finished tuning, press the flashing PROGRAM SELECT switch to return to Program mode. (Note;
pressing another PROGRAM SELECT switch will select a different program and return you to Program Mode.)
