How to Tune
1. Play a single open note on the string being tuned.
The name of the note closest to the pitch of the string that
was played appears in the display.
* Only play a single note on the one string being tuned.
2. Tune the string until the string name appears in the
display.
3. As you watch the Tuning Guide, adjust the guitar’s
tuning until “ ■” appears in the center.
4. Repeat Steps 1–3 until all of the strings are tuned.
* When tuning guitars equipped with a tremolo bar, when one
string is tuned, the others may end up being out of tune. In
this case, tune to the pitch indicated by the initial note name,
then tune the other strings again, repeatedly fine-tuning each
string.
Changing the Tuner Settings
You can change the following tuner-related settings.
Standard Pitch (435–445 Hz)
fig.07-10
The frequency of A4 (the middle A on a piano keyboard)
played by an instrument (such as a piano) that provides the
pitch to which the other instruments refer in tuning before a
performance begins is called the standard pitch. You can set
the standard pitch on the GT-6 from 435 to 445 Hz.
* This is set to 440 Hz when shipped from the factory.
Volume Settings with Tuner/Bypass
(Mute, Bypass)
fig.07-11
This selects the output while Tuner/Bypass is on.
Mute:
Sounds are muted, and no sound is output.
Bypass:
Sounds input to the GT-6 bypass the processing and are
output directly as is.
* This is set to “Bypass” when shipped from the factory.
* When this is set to “Bypass,” and Tuner/Bypass is set to ON,
you can adjust the volume of the direct sound by operating the
expression pedal.
