Connections
Turn off the power of all devices before you make any connections to avoid
damaging your equipment.
The INPUT and BYPASS jacks are mono. Stereo (TRS) cables will not work.
INPUT jack
Connect a cable from your instrument to the INPUT jack of the tuner. The power
turns on when you connect a cable to the INPUT jack, and the reference pitch
setting blinks in the note name display for several seconds. Connecting a cable to
the INPUT jack will turn the power on, but the tuner will not be in tuner mode.
Press the TUNER ON/OFF switch to engage tuner mode.
When the unit is on battery power but you’re not using the tuner, unplug the
cable from the INPUT jack. The unit uses battery power whenever a cable is
plugged into the INPUT jack.
BYPASS jack
Connect a cable from the BYPASS jack to your other effect pedals or amp. When
the tuner is switched on, the signal from the INPUT jack will be muted for silent
tuning.
Signal is output from this jack while the tuner is off.
BUFFERED/TRUE BYPASS switch
Access this switch by opening the battery cover.
This switches between ultra-buffer bypass and true bypass.
The ultra-buffer circuit expands the dynamic range of the sound, which helps
prevent the sound from thinning out when you use longer cables or multiple
pedals.
True bypass outputs the input audio as-is, without changing the sound in any way.
DC 9V IN jack
If you’re using an AC adapter to supply power, connect a separately sold AC
adapter (9 V,
) here. Using a different AC adapter may cause a malfunc-
tion.
The battery is not used when an AC adapter is connected to the DC 9V IN
jack.
DC 9V OUT jack
When using a separately sold AC adapter, you can use this unit to power an effect
pedal or similar device that operates on 9 V (
). When you use a DC cable
in this case, you can use this unit to power multiple effect pedals.
Make sure that total current consumption for the effect pedals that are
connected does not exceed 200 mA. Also, make sure that the effect pedals are
connected with the correct power polarity.
