7 Using the Tuner

To Tune Your Guitar
1. In Play mode, enter BYPASS or MUTE
mode by pressing the Program Up and Down
buttons at the same time once (for BYPASS) or by
holding them both down for more than half a
second (for MUTE). The display will now show
tuning information.
2. Make sure your guitar is connected to the Wildfire,
and play the open string you wish to tune. The left
digit of the display indicates the pitch nearest that
of the open string. If the # decimal point is lit, the
note is a sharp. If it is not lit, the note is a natural.
3. Look at the right digit of the display to determine
if the pitch is correct. If the top four segments of
the digit are rotating clockwise, then the pitch is
higher than the pitch shown in the first digit. If
the bottom four segments are rotating
counterclockwise, the pitch is low. The more the
pitch is off, the faster the rotation. If no pitch is
detected, you’ll see a dash in the left digit.
4. Tune the string until an 8 appears in the second
digit, indicating that the string is in tune with the
pitch displayed in the left digit.
The visual guide on the next page shows what
you’ll see on the display while tuning your guitar.
Remember, the optional
footswitches work the
same way as the
Program Up and Down
buttons. Step on both
footswitches once to
enter BYPASS mode,
and hold them down for
more than half a second
to enter MUTE mode.
