1 Tuner In
Determines which input the tuner will listen to. Normally, you should choose "Multi," which listens to the Guitar, Aux, and Variax inputs simultane-
ously.
2 Tuner Out
Determines the active output while the Tuner screen is active. If you prefer to hear nothing while tuning, choose "Mute." Normally, you should
choose "Multi," which routes the input to 1/4", XLR, Digital, and USB 1/2.

6 Osets
Enables the Tuner osets displayed on Page
.
1 String 6 Oset
Some guitarists feel that tuning certain strings slightly sharp or at in relation to concert tuning can improve intonation. String osets calibrate the
tuner so that these slightly out-of-tune pitches appear as in tune. String 6 is low E and String 1 is high E. Tuning osets won't be applied unless
Knob 6 (Osets) on Page
is turned on.
2 String 5 Oset
3 String 4 Oset
4 String 3 Oset
5 String 2 Oset
6 String 1 Oset
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 is lit green and both arrows are il-
luminated, your string is in tune.
3. To exit the Tuner, step on any footswitch.
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.
