Using your RT-7000 Rack Tuner

Inputs/Outputs

The RT-7000 Rack Tuner has two channels (A or B) with in-

puts (labeled “INST”) for these channels on both the front panel

and back panel.

NOTENOTE

NOTE: Only one input jack (front or back)

per channel can be used at a time. The Rack Tuner Outputs

are labeled “AMP.” The RT-7000 has Outputs for channels A

and B located on the back panel of the unit.

Foot Pedal

The

RT-7000RT-7000

RT-7000 has ¼-inch TRS connectors for a two-switch

pedal (model # RTPED2). Use the Foot Pedal to toggle between

Channels A & BChannels A & B

Channels A & B and/or to

are located on both the front and back panels (only one pedal

should be used at a time). When a foot pedal is connected, all

front panel switches still operate.

A/B Switch Display

This LED array displays your input/output con-

figuration and the signal path of the

A/B A/B

A/B 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 input/output configuration. And, at the same time, the

A or B input LED will flash to indicate the active tuner channel.

Front Panel Switches

The front-panel

A/B Button (or optional

Use the front panel

to quickly transpose your guitar down

from standard tuning — great for those

and D tunings.

NOTENOTE

NOTE: The

RT-7000RT-7000

RT-7000 display

uses the tuning indicator LEDs in conjunction with the Flat Tune

Steps legend to display Flat Tune status. The LED below the

“0” of the Flat Tune Steps legend signifies standard tuning;

each position to the left of zero represents ½ tone down from

standard tuning. The current Flat Tune status will be displayed

briefly the first time the

Flat Tune ButtonFlat Tune Button

Flat Tune Button is pressed. While the

status LED remains lit, each subsequent pressing will move

the setting one LED to the left. For example, to flat tune your

guitar down two half tones, press the

Flat Tune ButtonFlat Tune Button

Flat Tune Button once

to display the current setting, and then two more times to lower

the setting two half tones. The LED below the current flat-tune

setting will remain lit briefly. The

Up to 8 sharp or

flat LEDs will light up to indicate the degree of sharpness or flat-

ness in cents. As the played note gets closer to the note indi-

cated by the Note LED, the corresponding sharp or flat LEDs will

dim and turn off one by one until the green “in tune” LED lights.

Strobe Mode: Strobe Mode:

Strobe Mode:

LEDs strobe left to indicate flat, right to indi-

cate 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 LEDNote LED

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.
