Note: The “down” tog-pot switch position means pointing at the floor, referenced to
holding the guitar in a normal playing position.
1. With the Gear Shift knob pulled up and the guitar on, push the silver tog-pot switch to
the down (Tuning) position. Note: This mutes the audio.
2. Rotate the Gear Shift knob fully counter-clockwise to select standard tuning. The knob’s
display shows “1.”
3. Strum each string distinctly, as when playing single notes—not rapidly, like strumming a
chord. The Robo-Tuners will turn as needed, and the string LEDs around the Gear Shift’s
edge will turn different colors to indicate tuning status. Several strums may be necessary;
the more you use the tuning function, the faster it tunes. Here’s what the colors indicate.
Red: String not in tune, or not yet tuned
Yellow: Robo-Tuners are turning to tune the string. If the corresponding Robo-Tuner
doesn’t turn when its LED flashes yellow, there is a physical or electrical problem.
Green: Individual string in tune
All string LEDs green: Tuning is complete
White: Short circuit detected. If any part of a string touches something metallic
that's not in the normal string path, that string will not tune. Check if a string
touches the tail piece, the bridge, a fret, or another string; make sure that strings
are cut close to the posts, and that all strings are in the bridge saddle's center.
4. When tuning is finished, Firebird X automatically exits tuning mode, unmutes the audio,
and returns to whatever patch was selected when you started tuning. A Gear Shift light
flashes green to confirm the guitar is tuned.
5. Return the silver tog-pot to mid-position.
To experiment with other tunings:
1. Push the silver tog-pot down to Tuning position.
2. Rotate the Gear Shift to the desired tuning. See the following Tuning chart for a listing
(Gear Shift Center is the character that appears in the center; the Gear Shift Symbol
flashes in blue briefly upon selecting a patch.)
3. Strum as described above.
4. Return the silver tog-pot to the middle position when tuning is done.
