2. Pluck an individual string on your guitar.
Whenaboxleftofcenterislitred,yourstringisat.Whenaboxrightofcenter
is lit red, your string is sharp. When the center box on the lower row is lit green,
the top row of smaller bars can be used for more precision. When both arrows are
illuminated, your string is perfectly in tune.
3. To exit the Tuner, step on any footswitch (or press ).
All tuner settings are global.
TIP: If you have a favorite pedal or rack tuner and wish to use it instead of
the Helix tuner, connect Send 1, 2, 3, or 4 to your tuner's input and turn
Knob 2 (Tuner Out) to select that Send. This way, every time you hold
the TAP footswitch, Helix will automatically route the signal to your favorite
tuner.
