Adjusting the Reference Pitch of the Tuner
After the GFX-8 is turned on, the tuner reference pitch is always "center A = 440 Hz". If desired, you can change the
reference pitch. This is useful for example to match your instrument to another instrument or sound source whose pitch cannot
be changed easily, such as an acoustic piano or a CD. To do this, first change the reference pitch of the GFX-8 and then use to
to perform tuning of your guitar.
