Instruction Manual
PEDAL TUNER+
Display will
use upper LEDs when sharp, lower LEDs when flat and both left and right arrows
and green LEDs above and below the note when in tune.
Countdown Timer
The Pedal Tuner+ includes a convenient countdown timer. This allows you an
easy way to monitor your set list or rehearsal time.
How it works…
- Press the COUNTDOWN button on the side of the pedal tuner to select the length of time. Each press will increase the length by five minutes (press and hold button to scroll at a faster rate).
- Stop when you reach your desired amount of time.
- After a few seconds the setting will begin to flash. The countdown timer is now armed and awaiting activation
- Once flashing, press the COUNTDOWN button to start timer. The green arrows of the tuner will flash to let you know the timer is active and counting down. Pressing the COUNTDOWN button while active will pause and restart the timer.
- When the timer reaches 5 minutes, a row of red LED’s will additionally flash to act as a “five minute warning”.
- Once time has expired all the red LED’s of the display will flash and the timer will read “00”. Press the COUNTDOWN button to end function.
- Press and hold COUNTDOWN button at any time to cancel function.
- The countdown timer will remain active in the background anytime you enter tuning mode.
Buffered Bypass vs True Bypass modes
The Pedal Tuner + includes a high quality buffer circuit and features two bypass modes that you can choose from.
-
Buffered Bypass
The Pedal Tuner+ ships from the factory with the buffered bypass mode active. Using multiple true-bypass pedals and extended cable lengths will lead to a buildup of capacitance that can rob your signal of high end and defined mid/low frequencies. The buffer circuit in the tuner takes the high impedance input signal and converts it to a low impedance output. This “strengthened” signal allows it to go though multiple pedals and long lengths of cables without any degradation to your tone. The gain of the buffer circuit is adjustable using the internal trim pot. By default the pedal is set to unity gain which means the output of the tuner is equal to the input. For best results using the buffered output, place the tuner in the beginning of your signal chain. -
True bypass
In this mode the audio signal routes straight from the input jack to the output jack without going through any of the tuning or buffer circuitry when the pedal is off. To utilize true bypassmode, remove the back plate of the tuner and position the buffer switch to the off position.
