Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Rocktron VersaTune Rack Tuner.
The VersaTune Rack Tuner is a versatile true-bypass Guitar/Bass rack tuner for live and studio use. The
large “NOTE” display and bright LEDs provide the perfect amount of light for on-stage tuning. Over a
hundred different tunings can be viewed in the display window including standard guitar/bass tunings,
alternate tunings, drop tunings and opening tunings. Additional features include two front & rear panel
inputs, two rear panel outputs, input selector switch, +-60 Cents tuning LEDs, Precision Switch for ul-
tra fine tuning, strobe, Mute Switch on front panel and MUTE jack on rear panel, Calibration switch and
NOTE selection switch.
Want to tune your guitar a half step down? Wanted to tune your guitar to DADGAD? Need to tune a
Mandolin, Dobro, Pedal Steel Guitar or other types of instruments? Well, the VersaTune can help you to
adjust to these tunings. The VersaTune tunings display window shows you how! Up (

) and down (

)
arrows appear in the display window next to the note to show “how” to tune to a particular tuning from
standard A440 tuning. For example, to tune a guitar down a half step from standard A440, the window
will show a “down” (

) arrow next to the note you are tuning down to. Start by tuning the low E string
down to D# or Eb as the window will show “down arrow”

D#, (meaning to tune that string down to D#
or Eb) . Continue with the same process for other strings.
Use the Up/Down buttons to select different tunings from standard guitar and bass tunings to a wide range
of alternate tunings and tunings for different types of instruments. Additional tunings for 7-String Guitar,
5-String and 6-String bass are included. Tunings for other instruments such as dobro, mandolin family,
banjo, pedal steel, classical instruments and other string instruments (Bouzouki, Banduria, Dulcimer, Re -
quinto, etc) are also included.
Let your creative juices flow and try some of these different tunings!
