5. Operating Instructions

Using your STRICH Tuner Pedal is straightforward:

• Power On/Off: Press the Footswitch (1) to toggle the tuner on or off. When on, the color display (4) will illuminate.
• Tuning Display: When the tuner is active, play a single note on your instrument. The large color screen will display the note name and indicate whether it is flat, sharp, or in tune. Green indicates in tune, while red indicates flat or sharp.

The large color screen clearly displays the note being tuned.

• Chromatic Tuning: The pedal operates as a chromatic tuner, allowing you to tune any note across its broad range.

The chromatic tuner allows for precise adjustment of various notes.

• A4 Adjustment: Use the A4 Adjustment Button (2) to change the reference A4 frequency from 430Hz to 450Hz. This is useful for tuning with other instruments or specific musical standards.
• Semitone Adjustment (Flat Tuning): Use the Semitone Adjustment Button (3) to set the tuner to flat tuning modes (e.g., one or two semitones flat). This is indicated by 'b' or 'bb' on the display.
• Digital Circuit Design: The advanced digital circuit ensures highly accurate and responsive tuning.

The digital circuit design provides precise tuning indications (Flat, In Tune, Sharp).

• True Bypass: When the tuner is off, the signal passes directly through the pedal without any coloration or loss of tone.

The true bypass feature ensures signal integrity when the pedal is disengaged.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your STRICH Tuner Pedal:

• Keep the pedal clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Avoid exposing the pedal to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the pedal yourself, as this may void the warranty and cause damage.
• Always use a compatible DC 9V power adapter.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your STRICH Tuner Pedal, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Power: Ensure the DC 9V power adapter is correctly connected and functioning. Check the power outlet.
• No Display/Incorrect Reading: Verify that your instrument cable is securely connected to both the input and output jacks. Ensure the instrument is producing a clear, sustained note.
• Signal Loss/Noise: Check all cables for damage or loose connections. Ensure the power supply is stable and free from interference. If using other pedals, try isolating the tuner to determine if it's the source of the noise.
• Inaccurate Tuning: Ensure the A4 reference frequency is set correctly for your needs (default is 440Hz).

If the problem persists, please contact customer support for further assistance.
