Tuning Your Instrument
(the Tuner Function)
Here’s how you can use the GR-55’s Tuner function to tune your guitar
or bass.
1. Press the [2] pedal and [3] pedal simultaneously.
4. Watch the screen, and tune your instrument so that only the
center indicator is lit.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all of the strings are tuned.
MEMO
When tuning a guitar that’s equipped with a vibrato arm, tuning
one string may cause other strings to drift out of tune. In this case,
start by tuning each string approximately, so that the correct note
name is shown, and then retune each string repeatedly until all
strings are tuned correctly.
5. When you’ve finished tuning, press a pedal (any one of the
[1]–[3] pedals or the [CTL] pedal).
You will return to the original screen.
You can also return to the original screen by pressing the [EXIT] button.
