Tuning Up

Before you start checking out the incredible sounds of the AxSys 212, you
may want to tune up your guitar with the on-board tuner.

To use the Digital Tuner:

Press the

TUNER

TAP TEMPO

button; its LED will light.

The six LEDs located above the six Control Knobs in the middle section of the
front panel will switch to tuner mode, first displaying the tuning reference
(usually 440), and then the displaying

---.

Play a single string on your guitar and let it sustain.
The display will indicate the note you are playing

and the LEDs located

above the six Control Knobs will indicate whether you are flat or sharp.

Optional: To monitor the guitar while tuning, turn the

GAIN

Control

Knob to adjust the guitarÕs signal level from 0 to 99.
While in Tune mode, all effects will be bypassed and youÕll only hear your
guitarÕs signal passed through unaltered. Note: This does not affect the tuner.

Also optional: Turn the

MID

Control Knob to adjust the reference.

The tuning reference range is 435 to 445Hz. When the

MID

Control Knob is

set to the 12 oÕclock position, the tuning reference will be A=440Hz.

The

TUNER

TAP TEMPO

button will not select Tuner mode if the Delay parameters are

being edited. When the Delay Edit Row is selected, this button provides a ÒTap
TempoÓ function, so that the

MAIN DELAY TIME

parameter can be set by tapping

it at the desired tempo. For more information, see page 31 in chapter 3.

When you use the Tuner, the Aux Input will still work. So if you use the
Aux Input with a microphone, you can talk to your audience while
youÕre tuning up (ÒdonÕt forget to tip your server...Ó).

Accidentals (sharps and flats) are always displayed as flats. Example: If you play the

note D#, it will be displayed as

Eb (Eb).
