Rocktron VersaTune - Manual (Page 19)

Here is a slightly more involved tuning. Use the UP & DOWN buttons on the front panel to select 1: Guitar Stan-
dard in the TUNINGS WINDOW.
Step 1 - Tune your guitar to standard A440 tuning (it is 1:Guitar Standard) in the TUNINGS WINDOW.
Step 2 - Us the “UP” button to select (3: Guitar 1/2 Step Down) in the TUNINGS WINDOW.
You will notice that the all notes have a
() - DOWN ARROW - next to it. This means you should tune
all of your strings down to these notes.
6th string (lowest string) E down to D#
5th string (next higher string) A down to G#
4th string (next higher string)
D down to C#
3rd string (next higher string) G down to F#
2nd string (next higher string) B down to A#
1st string (next higher string) E down to D#
Note: Usually, when you tune a guitar down a 1/2 step it is often called “tuning a half step down” or “tuning to
Eb”. However, as the industry standard tuners appear use the “SHARP” “#” indicator as the main way to deter-
mine the half steps between notes, the VersaTune in Standard mode also uses the “SHARP” “#” indicator. Thus,
in the TUNINGS WINDOW, when tuning a guitar a half step down, instead of the note reading Eb, the note will
read D#, which is the same note.
