Using the Tuner Function
CUBE-60XL BASS/CUBE-120XL BASS are equipped with a tuner
function. In addition to manual tuning, you can also use it as a
chromatic tuner.
* Use manual tuning when the strings are substantially out of tune
(such as after changing strings).
* When using the tuner function, no sound is played from the speaker,
the REC OUT/PHONES jack, or the LINE OUT jack.
* The sound input to the AUX IN jack is output.
Manual Tuning
1. Press the [TUNER] switch.
The unit enters the Tuner mode and the [TUNER] switch lights up.
2. Use the Type switch to select the string that you want to
tune.
