gain at minimum to 10 dB´s of signal boost at maximum. 
Not only does this 

buffer

 your signal to avoid treble-loss, 

but it also gives you the ability to 

boost

 the overall signal 

level, compensating for long cables and/or signal losses 
from running a lot of pedals. You can also use it as a 

pick-up

 

booster

, if you need a little more output from your instru-

ment. 
Try setting the “

beef

” control at minimum and listen to the 

sound when using either bypass configuration. Depending 
on your setup, you may hear a clearer, more open sound 
when using the buffered bypass. Then adjust the “

beef

” 

knob to taste.

The TUNEMASTER can be used in 

true bypass

 or in 

buffered

 

bypass

 mode. The toggle switch between the in/out jacks 

should be set to the right for 

true

 

bypass

 and to the left for 

buffered

 

bypass

The 

true

 

bypass

 routes the input signal directly to the output. 

In essence, when you are not tuning, it is as if the TUNEMAS-
TER isn´t even there. 
The 

buffered

 

bypass

 lets you use the TUNEMASTER as a 

line

 

driver

 with an adjustable output level, called the “

beef

” con-

trol. In this configuration, the “

beef

” control goes from unity 

Bypass mode
