1.
To set the GFX-8 to the bypass (mute) condition,
press and immediately release the foot switch 1 - 4
that has selected the currently active patch (the foot
switch whose LED is lit).
In play mode, when you quickly press the foot switch whose LED
is lit, the GFX-8 switches to the bypass condition. The foot
switch LED now flashes and the indication "BYPASS" is
shown on the display.
If you press a foot switch with lit LED for longer than 1
second and then release it, the GFX-8 switches to the mute
condition. The foot switch LED now flashes and the indication
"MUTE" is shown on the display.
2.
Play the open string you want to tune, and watch the
GROUP/BANK indicator. The GFX-8 automatically
detects the pitch and the GROUP/BANK indicator
shows the note which is closest to the current pitch.
For tuning, always play a single note. If you play a chord,
the pitch will not be detected correctly.
3.
When the GROUP/BANK indicator shows the desired
note, perform fine tuning while watching the display.
4.
Tune the other strings in the same way.
5.
When tuning is completed, press the foot switch
whose LED is flashing once more.
The GFX-8 returns to the play mode.
If desired, you can change the setting of the unit so that
pressing the foot switch whose LED is lit will not activate
the bypass/mute condition. For details, please refer to
page 41.
The GFX-8 incorporates an auto-chromatic tuner for guitars. To use the tuner function, the built-in effects must be bypassed
(temporarily turned off) or muted (original sound and effect sound turned off).
