Tuner Mode

The Tuner in the Genesis3 allows you to accurately tune your instrument prior to a recording session.The Tuner can

be instantly accessed from the Control X Foot controller, or through the Utility menu in the Genesis3 processor.The

following steps outline the procedure for entering the Tuner from the Genesis3 front panel:

1.Press the AMP SAVE and STORE buttons simultaneously. Both buttons will light indicating you are in the

Utilities.

2.Press theTAP-IT or EDIT buttons until the TUNER displays.

3.Press the flashing STORE button to enter Tuner mode.

4.To begin tuning, play a note on your guitar (a harmonic at the 12th fret usually works best).The red numeric

Display will show the note being played,and the green alpha-numeric display will indicate whether the note is

sharp or flat,or in tune.Arrows pointing to the left (<<<) indicate the note is sharp and should be tuned

down.Arrows pointing to the right (>>>) indicate the note is flat and should be tuned up.When your note is

in tune, the Display will read -><- .

In Tuner mode,you can select your tuning reference with the DATA knob. The default factory setting is A=440

Hz.The tuning reference ranges from 427 Hz to 453 Hz, which is the equivalent of ± 50 cents (1/2 semitone) in

either direction from 440 Hz.When you scroll below 427 Hz,you will also find three alternate dropped tun-

ings.Alternate tunings are REF A& (A=Ab),REF G (A=G), and REF G& (A=Gb).The display window will

briefly flash the currently selected tuning preference.

Exit Tuner mode by pressing the AMP SAVE and STORE buttons simultaneously again.
