not latching.

SmartSwitch™ A/B Display

This LED array displays your input/output con-

figuration and the signal path of the

circuit. As you plug in your guitar(s) and amp(s)

you will immediately see the corresponding A or

B INST or AMP LED light on the Display.

When you touch the A/B switch, the signal path LEDs will clearly

show the signal routing configuration of the

LED will flash to indicate the active tuner channel.

LEDs strobe left to indicate flat, right to

indicate sharp. Strobe speed is a function of the distance the

played note is from being in tune. A pitch far from the closest

note (as indicated by the

Note LED) will strobe quickly. As the

played note gets closer to the note indicated by the

Note LED,

the strobe effect will slow down and eventually stop for in tune.

NOTENOTE

NOTE: As in all strobe tuners, it can be difficult to get the strobe

effect to stop completely. This is due to the extreme accuracy

of the strobe tuner and the fluctuation in string vibration fre-

quency as it varies from “first plucked” to sustained note.
